RETURNS POLICY

NO EXCHANGES: PLEASE SELECT CAREFULLY.

Like all other magic shops, MagicTricks.Com does not allow any item to be returned, refunded or exchanged for a different item. Defective items will be replaced. Items damaged by customer will not be replaced.

ASK BEFORE YOU BUY

The time to ask questions about the magic trick you intend to buy is BEFORE you buy it. Are you concerned about whether you have the skills to do the trick? All of our effects come with complete instructions, and in fact most tricks we carry are easy to work. If an effect requires special skills, we try to point that out. If you have a concern, please contact us by email or call us at 1-540-832-0900 Mon-Fri 11am-5pm Eastern and ask.

WHY DOESN'T MAGICTRICKS.COM TAKE RETURNS?

First: Magic tricks are unlike any other item you will buy. When you buy a magic trick, you are buying two things: the actual gimmicked item, and the secret. Many magic tricks work on very simple principles, and the piece of equipment you get is only part of the trick. The main part is the secret- the idea, the clever principle, the routine. The people who invent these tricks must be paid for their ideas. It would not be fair for you to be able to order their tricks, examine them, learn the secret, and return them to get your money back because now you know "how it's done". 

Second: Magic is a hobby that requires practice and dedication. You must be willing to put some practice into the tricks you buy. Don't get easily discouraged! Even the simplest tricks don't really work themselves- the magician must present the illusion for the magic to be really good. Returning a trick just because you don't feel like taking the time to practice it is not allowed (again- you already know the secret!). If you don't like to practice anything, or if you are impatient, maybe magic is not a good hobby for you.

Third: Good magic is simple. Sometimes that can be a drawback, because you may receive your trick and think, "Awwww. That's how it works" and be disappointed that it isn't more complicated. Remember that all the tricks we carry have been audience tested again and again. These tricks fool people! Just because a trick is ingeniously simple isn't a good reason for wanting to return it.
There are a lot of mediocre tricks out there. We let other shops carry them- you won't find crummy tricks here. Simple- yes. Clever- yes. Crummy- no.

Fourth: We try to be as accurate as possible in describing what each trick does, and the skill needed to do each effect. We encourage you to contact us before you purchase any trick if you have any questions. We stand behind what we sell: you get a good value for your money. And that's why there are no refunds.

NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES IF YOU BREAK YOUR ITEM

There is no refund or exchange on items that you break.
To repeat:
MagicTricks.Com will not refund or exchange items that you break.

Some tricks are delicate in design, and can be easily broken if you don't know how to handle them. Please read the instructions carefully before working with your new trick. And we strongly recommend that you do not let others "inspect" or handle your tricks; careless handling by others is a main cause of breakage. We sell tricks that are durable if used properly. And that's the key: if used properly. If you have questions about your new trick, please email us or call us at 540-832-0900 Mon-Fri 11am-5pm Eastern, and we'll be glad to help.

DEFECTIVE ITEM RETURN POLICY

We will replace a defective item with another of the same item only. No refunds. No exchanges.

We apologize, but due to the abuse of this policy by attempts to return items broken by customers while using the tricks improperly, claims of defective items must be made within 24 hours of receiving the item.

SHOP WITH CONFIDENCE

Whether you are a first-time magic buyer or you're a veteran magician, you are concerned with these things:

• Am I going to get what I ordered?
  Yes. We ship very quickly. All packages have a tracking number. 99% of the time, your order will arrive quickly, and you will find everything you ordered packed safely in the shipping box. If your order does not arrive in a timely manner (click here for information on estimated shipping time), simply contact us by email or call us at 1-540-832-0900 and we will take care of it. If you do not receive everything you ordered and paid for (the invoice will be enclosed with your order), simply contact us by email or call us at 1-540-832-0900 and we will take care of it. If you received the wrong item (the invoice will be enclosed with your order), simply contact us by email or call us at 1-540-832-0900 and we will take care of it. If an item you ordered arrives already damaged, simply contact us by email or call us at 1-540-832-0900 and we will replace it.

• Will I be able to do the trick I ordered?
  If you follow the skill level recommendations for the skill needed and the minimum age recommended, you should be able to do the trick you ordered. We graded our tricks rather strictly, and we are constantly adjusting our product descriptions to reflect our customers' experiences. We have already sold dozens- even thousands- of any particular trick, and the purchasers before you have been very happy with these tricks. All tricks come with instructions. Some tricks have very basic instructions, and this is noted in the product descriptions. For these tricks, we have recommended a book and/or a video that you may consider purchasing to give you more detail about the handling of a particular effect. If you have questions about the handling of any trick you purchase, or have any problems with it, you may call us at 1-540-832-0900 and we'll be happy to "walk" you through it.

• Will I like what I ordered?
  We certainly hope so. We are careful to offer tricks that are entertaining for both the magician and the spectator. Our tricks have received an enthusiastic "seal of approval" from many satisfied customers. But buying magic is not like buying a shirt at Sears. Everybody wears a shirt; not everybody is cut out to be a magician. Please read our Note To Buyers to see if magic is the hobby for you. And remember- you are welcome to contact us by email or by calling us at 1-540-832-0900 with questions about any trick before you buy it.

• What happens if there is a problem with my order?
  If we have made a mistake, we'll fix it. Simply contact us by email or call us at 1-540-832-0900.

• What about the "no returns" policy?
  The "no returns" policy should not worry you, because there should be no reason to return your purchase. Just choose carefully by reading the information we provide about each trick, and be honest with yourself about the amount of skill you have.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION

Of course we want you to be satisfied with your orders from us. At the same time, we have to keep our costs low in order to continue to offer you such low prices on our items. Our policies are in place to achieve this, and we appreciate your understanding. Thank you.
