Using Google to find a magic store near you can be incredibly frustrating (I happen to run into the one I go to by pure happenstance), so my question to all of you is this: How do you find a magic store when you're in an area new to you?

With the advent of the Internet, many use online services for our supply needs but I find that the proper shop has many advantages: Instant customer assistance and the camaraderie that comes from discussing things with a fellow enthusiast face-to-face.

So if there isn't an official listing out there, why not post not formulate our own?

Hi
You gave me an idea. I'm going to enter Magic shop into my GPS, and see what comes up.

If your in Canada (sorry don't know if its like this anywhere else) could you call 411 to find out the closest one? I assume you would be able to, but I have actually never tried.

Marcus,

Search Magic Map and you may be surprised. It won't have them all, but it is loaded.

Magic Map? Is that a website or a program? And is it available for Mac? (I googled the name but it comes up with some random websites).

Marcus that is a website.

Don't forget the the dealers with links here on The Café are available to you. Just click on them!

Another real hint: get your magic posts over 50 and Let's Make a Deal on The Café will open up for you. Tons of magic traded among Café Members with no fees for buying or selling! And you are only dealing with fellow magicians.

When I moved from new orleans to wilmington nc, I googled, s.a.m and i.b.m, called and asked them,

Thanks for the tips and ideas! I'll be sure to try them out when I go to Boston.

I am having the same problem Marcus...

We go to visit our son, who lives in Vancouver, Canada.
I cannot seem to find a magic shop anywhere.

However, in Google search "clowninaroundmagic" comes up.
But it seems to be just a portal, not an actual website.

Anyone know of a magic shop in or around Vancouver??
