Davenports in London and it looked just how I imagined a magic shop should be inside.
Shame on that first visit the staff behind the counter were abrupt and lacking any warmth . Andy |

I started at the magic shop at Marshall Field's downtown store. Later at Magic Inc. when it was still called Ireland's.

First magic shop shopping experience was likely Merlin's in Fantasyland at Disneyland (The one on Main Street wasn't as interesting). It was the late 60's. I bought a Magic Money Maker and performed it the next day at a library talent show.
But my first magic shop, where I could go and hang out and learn, was called Landale Magic (combination of the towns Lancaster and Palmdale in the high desert of California) run by Neil Lester, better known to the the world as "Cards by Martin." Neil was the best card splitter I've ever met. All of the cards he split and made fake cards from are still in excellent shape...almost 40 years later. So I may not have bought my first trick there, but it was the first real magic shop to me...and where I "grew up."

So new to magic I have only one magic shop to refer to--Mr. Magic here in Little Rock, AR. I'm a kid in a candy store when I go in.

House of Magic in Dayton, Ohio. The grumpy guy charged way to much for every thing. Then I found Haines House of Cards in Norwood, Ohio. And Venture III, and Brewy's magic shop in Queen city.

My first magic shop was Elmwood Magic back when it was a physical store. Wonderful place, great memories.

The Palace of Mystery, 4900 Rossville Blvd. I spent thousands of hours there!
The owner, Carl Davis eventually became my first boss as well. Grouchy old man with a heart of gold. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for a fellow magician, griping the whole time. I really miss Carl! My first “big” stage show was about 50% his equipment, because I couldn’t afford my own yet. I did a “magic carpet” floating lady with a volunteer from the audience using his ideas and handling. He was a great coach! The old store is TV shop now, and the last of the original buildings still standing on that block. Not exactly a shrine, but I still get “funny feelings” when I drive by it now.
...what if I could read your mind?

I did not buy my first magic in a magic shop. I bought my first in a festival called "Feria Colombiana".

The first real shop I `ve visited was Davenports. That time ( 30 years ago ) they were located oposit the British Museum in Great Russell Street.
And that was really a magic shop, loads of things to see. Behind the counter was Pat Page ( alas no longer with us )and he was very helpfull. Detlef |

Eagle Magic in Minneapolis Minnesota. Saw Larry Kahlow (who still owns Eagle) do "Copper Silver Brass" which hooked me for good! He also sold me Frank Garcia's two books on card magic. Those were fun days!

Abbott's Catalog. I lived in the middle of nowhere in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I spent hours pouring over Abbott's Magic Catalog and doing odd jobs to earn money. When I had enough saved up I would be off to the drug store to buy a money order (too young for checks). Then that wait for the UPS man to deliver my next purchase.
The first time I visited a magic shop was on a trip to visit relatives in the Detroit area for Thanksgiving. My Dad took me to Romig Magic on Nine Mile in Ferndale MI. |
