How to Purchase Magic Tricks from MagicTricks.com Magic Shop

Updated

MagicTricks.com Magic Shop is an online magic shop that has operated since 1971 and offers 1000+ easy tricks for kids and adults, with online video demos for browsing before you buy. To purchase, you go through the shop's own site rather than a third-party marketplace: browse or search the catalog, watch the demo video for a trick, add it to your cart, and check out. The exact price of any item, the accepted payment methods, and whether an account is required are not stated in the available site information, so confirm those on the product and checkout pages before you commit.

What the shop offers

The catalog is built around tricks rather than props alone, and the site positions itself around three use cases:

  • Kids and adults — the shop describes its tricks as "easy," so the range spans beginner-friendly items and more advanced ones.
  • Performance contexts — tricks are grouped for talent shows, dance performances, and plays, which matters if you need something that reads clearly from a stage rather than up close.
  • Video demos — 1000+ tricks have online video demonstrations, which is the main tool for judging a trick before purchase.

Step-by-step purchase flow

  1. Find the trick. Use the site's catalog or search to locate a specific trick or browse by category (kids, adults, stage/performance).
  2. Watch the demo. Open the product page and play the video demo. This is where you judge whether the effect is visible enough for your setting and whether the handling looks achievable for you.
  3. Add to cart. Use the add-to-cart control on the product page. If the item has options (size, color, version), select them first.
  4. Check out. Proceed to the cart and then to checkout. Enter shipping and payment details as prompted.
  5. Confirm. Look for an order confirmation (typically email) before assuming the order went through.

Expected result: a confirmed order with the trick shipped to your address. If something fails: the most common blockers are an out-of-stock item, a payment method the shop doesn't accept, or a checkout page that requires account creation — none of which the available site information resolves, so check the checkout page itself.

What to verify before you buy

Because the site information does not publish prices, payment platforms, or login requirements, treat these as things to confirm on the page rather than assumptions:

Question Where to check Why it matters
Price and any shipping cost Product page and cart Total cost is only visible at cart/checkout
Accepted payment methods Checkout page Determines whether your card or wallet works
Account required? Checkout flow Guest checkout vs. mandatory registration changes your steps
Stock status Product page Prevents ordering an unavailable item
Format of the trick Product page / demo Some tricks are props, some are downloads or instructions

Choosing the right trick for your purpose

Use the same criteria the shop organizes around:

  • For a talent show, dance, or play: prioritize tricks with a strong visual effect that survives distance from the audience. Watch the demo imagining you're in the back row.
  • For kids: favor tricks described as easy, since dexterity and setup time are the usual failure points.
  • For adults learning close-up magic: the demo is your main signal — if the method looks like something you can rehearse, it's a reasonable fit.

If you can't tell from the demo whether a trick suits your skill level or performance space, that's a reason to keep browsing rather than buy on impulse.

Common sticking points

  • No published prices in the site summary — you won't know cost until you reach the product or cart page.
  • Payment methods unspecified — don't assume a particular platform is supported; check at checkout.
  • Login status unclear — the site information doesn't say whether an account is needed, so be ready for either.
  • Demo ≠ difficulty rating — a clean demo doesn't guarantee the handling is easy; look for difficulty or skill notes on the product page.

The practical rule: use the video demos to decide what to buy, and use the product and checkout pages to confirm price, payment, and account requirements before finalizing.
