Anyone know of any magic shops in the UK? In any of the big shopping centres? (Meadowhall, etc). I've been scouring the internet and can't seem to find any. I live in Derby by the way, so the nearer to there, the better.

http://www.magick2go.com/ is in Sheffield near the city centre.Has an excellent second hand library.Meadowhall has a small shop that is more of a novelty and party shop with some beginners magic items.I,m sure there is a bricks and mortar shop in Nottingham I will try and look it up for you.

Try http://www.albionmagiccompany.com They have a link to an association of magic dealers with lots of shops across the country. They're not all listed but it's a good start.

http://www.hocuspocusmagic.com is in Arnold,Notts.

http://www.loonybin.co.uk/ is in Leeds.

I'm on the isle of wight and none for miles near me!

probably the closest is davenports

Hope this is a start

On the Ipswich Magical Society Website, we host a list of all (as many as I have found so far) the magic shops in the UK that can be visited.

http://www.ipswichmagicalsociety.co.uk/linshopuk.htm

I'll look at this thread later and see if I have missed any, but if you do know any more, please contact me.

I would like to promote these shops as much as possible, as sadly I feel the humble shop that can be visited is a dying breed in this new fangled modern world of technology we live in.

These magic shops are like little magic societies...
