I liked to go to the library proabably doesn't count as I never purchased anything of course but that is where my interest started and then I went into clowninaround magic on grandville island. They had some great books that took all my money when I was a kid. Sean.

Phil Thomas's Yogi Magic Mart in Baltimore, Md...1961. Phil retired and sold the place I believe in the early 1980's. The new owners relocated, but were plagued by fires in each of 2 new locations afterwards, sealing its fate.
Its where I met Denny Haney shortly after my first visit. Who would have guessed back then he'd wind up in later years to operate one of the country's finest brick and morters. |

First introduction to magic was Lou Tannen's. Was pretty happy with my purchases back then, but these days, I shop elsewhere.
The difficult must become easy, the easy beautiful and the beautiful magical.

Nothing against you or the upcoming generations of newer magicians, but, as the magic business model changes from bricks and mortar stores to "magic online", many many of the new and up-coming magicians will be deprived of the thrill, excitement, the mysteriousness and the sheer magic atmosphere that existed in most of the old long-gone magic stores.

Dallas and Company in downtown Champaign Illinois. Andy, Wes, and Greg are a great bunch of guys. Probably the most eccentric stores I have ever been in. Well worth a stop if you are in the area, at least for the gorilla....

I think it was a magic shop in a local amusement park...
The one that got me started is the over-priced one in Disney Land. |

My first shop was Presto Magic in Long Beach, CA. Bought my first Michael Ammar DVD's there (ETMCM), and a trick of Presto's I think called Mirror Cards or something similar, was a wild card routine. Also got McDonald's Aces there during one of my initial visits.
Really, the only other shop I'd been in was Hank Lee's Magic Factory when it had it's store front in Boston. |

Misdirections in San Francisco, run by Joe Pon. I'd seen magic tricks in 'novelty shops'; but this was and IS a real magic shop. Still around and going strong; and Joe has always given good advice!

I believe the first magic shop I ever went to was Tannens in NY. It was probably about 15 years ago and I can remember when I walked in they were demonstrating flight deck. Before that I used to buy all my magic through the mail. I've been trying to remember the name of the company I used to buy from but I can't remember for the life of me. I just remember looking through pages of descriptions and trying to choose what to buy.

No magic shop around here, everything was bought online. My first U.S. online magic shop was MJM. Pretty satisfying except the tax.

Denny & Lees. All you need is there, both in-person and for the online shopper.
