Recommended Magic Stores

Back in history when magic was still a secret and mysterious art, there were no magic stores or shops that you could just visit to buy magic tricks and supplies. Magic secrets were passed down from father to son or from master to apprentice. It was difficult for anyone who was interested to learn magic.

When magic became popular as a performance art and magic shows started appearing on TV, magic stores also opened up in certain Western countries like the United States and United Kingdom. It became easy for anyone interested in magic to walk in to the nearest store and buy magic tricks. However people in other countries that didn't have this luxury still found it extremely difficult to learn magic tricks.

The internet changed all that. Online magic stores appeared and now anyone with an internet connection could browse through online magic catalogs and buy all the tricks they fancy with just a few clicks of the mouse. There are even demo video clips of the tricks so the buyer can see exactly what the effects look like in performance. Many tricks can even be downloaded immediately after purchase, saving the buyer from having to wait for the tricks to arrive.

Here are some of our recommended online magic stores to get your tricks and supplies from:-

Ellusionist is the best site for the latest in cutting edge street magic. They have lots of exclusive effects that cannot be found anywhere else. Almost all the tricks have demo video clips so you can see exactly how the trick looks in performance.

The teaching DVDs are of extremely high quality and make learning new tricks easy and fun. Brad Christian is the instructor on most of the DVDs and he is both an expert magician as well as a fantastic teacher. Check out Ellusionist here.

Magic Pro Shop boasts of having 7000 tricks. It is a very comprehensive store and you can find almost any trick that you wish for. Most of the tricks have demo video clips also, which is very important when buying magic online.

USA orders of minimum $20 qualify for FREE shipping. International orders enjoy cheap shipping rates starting at $3.99. Check out Magic Pro Shop here.

The Magic Depot is run by Aaron Smith and it is another extensive magic shop with lots of categories and items. There are not that many demo video clips but each trick has a customer review section so you can read the opinions of those who have bought the trick.

Their shipping policy is the best I've seen on any site so far. Orders over $40 receive FREE shipping worldwide! Read that again. All orders above $40 (except for certain large items) are shipped FREE to any part of the world. This is very good news for international customers because usually shipping can cost almost as much or even more than the tricks themselves. Check out The Magic Depot here.
