On the other hand, ending up in one which is a mess and/or clicky can be a real disappointment. If the person behind the counter is pleasant and willing to help, then you will have a good time. Otherwise, it can be a lousy experience. An old timer like me finds the experience to be very important and buying online certainly not the same. |

I fervently hope that brick and mortar stores don't go the way of so many of our small businesses. I loved those delightful old magic shops. In Chicago for me, it was Irelands Magic, later to become Magic Inc., The Treasure Chest on Randolph St. (Upstairs room), Mazda Magic in Oak Park, Senator Crandal in the Palmer House, I'm sure I am forgetting a lot of other great places.

Does anyone know if there are any stores in Walt Disney World that currently sell Magic Tricks? I know that both stores which exclusively sold Magic Tricks in The Magic Kingdom closed years ago. I was just wondering if any of the stores in The Magic Kingdom or any of the other three Disney World Florida Parks sell Magic as part of their stock even if they are not exclusively Magic Shops. Thanks for your replies.

Googled - seems -NO. I did work at WDW - Magic Shop in the 80's. If there was one anywhere in Disney, Unless you have a Disney Employee Card, prices would be higher than than - City Shops.

The Magic Shop at Maxies International Flea Market and Bizarre. (Seriously) It was run by local Professional Magician and TV Personality (Horror Host) "Uncle Ted" Raub. A great guy and WWII hero. I think my first trick purchased was The Invisible Deck.

Mine is Magia Estudio, in Madrid, Spain. I went there when I was just 7 for the first time and I loved it. The store looks great, it has a lot of decoration on the walls and magic stuff. I also loved the customer support given by the owners of the store, Ricardo and Eden. They demonstrated the tricks I was interested in, and they even did some recommendations of things I may like. They record their own videos for a lot of the tricks they sell, and they also produce their own effects. In my opinion it is the best magic store ever.

When I was a child my parents took me to New Orleans to see the sites. While in the French Quarter I said I wanted to find a magic shop and stopped a man to ask if he knew where one was. He gave us directions and went on his way. A few minutes later we found ourselves in a Magick shop. I was amazed by everything I saw and my parents realized we were in the wrong place. The lady running the shop saw the humor in the situation and pointed us in the right direction. I don’t recall the name of the shop she sent us to but I know it is where I bought my first set of linking rings and I still have them today. I also have a healthy appreciation of tarot cards and bizarre magick because of that trip.

Hank Lee's Magic Factory in Boston. Sometime around 1977. I think I left there with a finger guillotine.
