I am interested in learning how to sell magic books (Magic Trick books, that is). Can anyone advise me as to publishers, selling venues both online and off, etc? Should I get a resale license?

If you are opening a shop or store, then you will go through all of the usual things any business would/should do.
This includes a well thought business plan, if you intend to be sucessful!
I presume you are in the US-You will likely need to get your re-sale permit for your state, and a Federal Tax ID might also be needed. All before you even contact the publishers!
There are a number of things that you will have to consider,, again depending on your plans- Insurance, bank accounts, credit card processing and fees, etc. etc.
I would look at spending an hour with an accountant to make sure, based on your projected plan, you have a good idea about your record keeping, and if you will need an accountant to work with. A good one is not too expensive and will be up front about their services and your needs.
If you have the opportunity, I would look into the local college or JC for any small business classes, and check the local chamber of commerce for information and classes/trainings through the SBA- Small business administration.

Your own books??? If you post info on this board, I'll bet you sell some

Dai Bata,

Are you talking about selling books at your shows to make extra money? If so, PM me and I can give you more information about my Instant Magic Book System.

Best,
