A real magic shop — online.
We've been selling magic since 1971 and online since 1996.
At MagicTricks.com, you can watch every trick before you buy it, get personal advice from Monticup, and shop magic that's been carefully selected and checked by an experienced magician.
From 1988 until 1994, this was The Old Curiosity Shop in Watervliet, NY.
From 1994 until 2001, this was our Magic Tricks shop in Charlottesville, VA.
About the Magic Tricks We Sell
We don't sell every magic trick. Just the good ones.
There are thousands of magic tricks available. We don't believe just throwing all of them on a website makes a better magic shop.
We choose tricks that are well made, entertaining and worth learning. You'll find time-tested classics, clever new ideas, hard-to-find items and original tricks available exclusively from MagicTricks.com.
And our attention to the tricks we sell doesn't end when we choose them.
Many magic tricks today are manufactured in factories that produce all kinds of products. But magic can be different. A small adjustment can sometimes mean the difference between a trick that works perfectly and one that doesn't work quite as it should.
That's where Monticup's experience comes in. He spends hours each week checking, adjusting, fine-tuning and, when necessary, repairing tricks before they leave our warehouse.
We provide hands-on quality control from a magician who knows exactly how the trick should perform.
Monticup fine-tunes magic tricks before they leave our warehouse.
One of the most useful features of shopping at MagicTricks.com:
We demonstrate every magic trick we sell.
Watch the video and see what your audience will see. You'll know what the trick looks like before you buy it — and have a much better idea whether it's right for you.
And here's something else you won't find at other magic shops:
You get direct, personal access to Monticup himself.
Have a question? Need help choosing a trick? Ask Monticup. You're getting advice directly from the magician who personally selects which tricks we offer.
That's the way a magic shop is supposed to work.
And that's the way MagicTricks.com works for you.

About Our Magic Library
We've been building our Magic Library since 1996.
What began in the early days of MagicTricks.com has grown into an extensive free online resource about magic, magicians and the history of the art.
You'll find thousands of magician biographies and photos, information about Houdini, magic history, trick inventors, fascinating trivia, historic books and magazines, and much more.
Over the years, the Magic Library has become a useful research resource for magicians, authors and anyone interested in the history of magic.
About Peter Monticup
Monticup has spent more than 60 years performing, studying, inventing, collecting and selling magic.
His life in magic began at age seven, when magician Henry Bessette took him under his wing. He went on to become a professional magician himself and a magic shop owner, eventually bringing the magic shop experience online with MagicTricks.com in 1996.
He's performed thousands of shows, appeared on television and in movies, lectured for magicians and created original magic tricks.
But at MagicTricks.com, his most important job is helping you enjoy magic.
Whether you're an experienced magician, a beginner buying your first trick, or choosing magic for someone else, you can trust Monticup and MagicTricks.com to help make your experience with magic successful and enjoyable.
