Our Guide to Buying Magic This Holiday Season
I think that we all know that magicians can be notoriously hard to shop for - especially for an outsider! So we pulled together a list of our favorite tricks and books that we think any magician would appreciate as a gift this year. Most items on the list are new releases this year, and everything on this list has been used and tested by us here at the store. We even have a section specifically for beginners, so you can shop for any skill level with confidence.
Of course, when in doubt, gift cards are available and always a great option. And lastly, if you're in the New York City area, tickets to Magic After Hours with Noah Levine make for a magical gift for magicians and magic fans alike.
