I know the vast majority of people on this site are Americans and you seem to have all the best magic shops and conventions. I live in Manchester in England and the magic community is near enough none existent. Imagine my jealousy everytime I visit the US to see magic shops left,right and centre. I have got 3 visits planned to the US this year and I was wondering if there are any must see things concerning magic (especially coin magic). I am in Clearwater Beach, Florida at the start of July for two weeks, New York end of September start of October and Las Vegas, Nevada start of October.

I am jealous, too. I'd love to have a BJ's here (the store!) and some other stores like an outlet mall to get some decent clothing or a Wegmans where I can shop 24/7. It would be also very nice to have some american hairdressers over here. I found that they do a much better job.
And guess what: You Englishman have much more literature to choose from that you can read... and understand... Edith |

Head on over to Daytona Beach on the east coast of Florida and visit Daytona Magic Shop. http://www.daytonamagic.com They have a huge collection of coin magic and gaffs as well as card magic, books and DVDs. It's a must see before you leave Florida. I do quite a bit of business there and the atmosphere is very friendly. Harry Allen (the owner and a great magician to boot) will set you up. Cheers!

I wish we had half as much magic on the "telly" as they do across the pond!

I had moved to Florida about 8 month now and I have no time to visit any Magic shops out here, Daytona Magic is 3 hours away and I don’t have time to visit them, when I was in New York City I would be at Tannens Magic Shop a few times a Month. Now here in Florida I have been buy new magic effects from Magic shops on the web but do use the Café to check what other magicians think about the new effects.

I live in Taiwan, and I've found the magic community to be quite small. However, with access to the internet, a few decks of cards, some coins, and millions of unsuspecting civilians, I have all the magic I need! A teacher would be nice, though...
I'm...I'm just not feeling STRONG right now...

Tell me about it! it looks like I am the only lebanese who perform magic, have some israeli magis, too bad politics wont allow us to visit each other (we can face the death penalty lol), I was lucky enough to meet a tunisian magician living in the states!!! as for magic shops....the only magic shop around here are at Virgin megastore, wich is barely a stand selling Svengali stripper decks, TT, D'lites and some sponge balls!!!
Double posters should be shot!
No really!! |

I guess I really did'nt realize how good we have it here in the States...the old adage: "you don't miss the water till the well runs dry" is apropos here. I feel for those who have the desire but have next to nothing to draw upon. But compared to world hunger and homelessness it pales in comparison.
