Funny Stuff is all around

First I have to kill two myths about magic shops; For some mysterious reason some laypeople believe that only magicians can buy magic tricks…

1. You can buy any magic trick you want
Sure, you can buy any magic tricks imaginable - if you’ve got the money. So if you want to saw a woman in half - no problem. Any magic shop can sell you the boxes or drawings. This is because all magic shops live by the motto: Show me the money!

2. You don’t have to be a magician to buy magic tricks

You don’t have to be a magician to buy magic tricks. You can just walk right into a magic shop and start buying whatever you want. How do you think people became magicians in the first place?
Sometimes you pay hundreds of dollars and all you get is a simple explanation and strange looking gimmick. Often there is a huge difference between what you think you get and what you get. You may be disappointed…

If you are a beginner in magic you might feel like you’ve been cheated, but often you haven’t. What you pay for is the idea and the secret.

Personally, I’m satisfied if I just get one tiny idea from a DVD or one new magic trick from a whole magic convention. That’s enough for me. But I’m also a pro.

This is how you find your local magic shop:
Nearly all large cities have their own magic shop. If you want to find your local magic shop, you can always look it up in the yellow pages or on the Internet.

In a magic shop you get the chance to see, try and feel the magic trick. Often the owner will demonstrate the magic trick and if you purchase it - he will often teach you the trick.
I think it is important to find your own magic dealer. In time this will save you a fortune. Because you and your own magic dealer know if the latest hot magic trick really is something for you.
