Magic supplies in Bloomington, Hennepin County, Minnesota

Whatever you perform in Bloomington — close-up at a table, walk-around at a party, or a stand-up set — the material ships from here.

We post to every address in Hennepin County and the rest of Minnesota — there is no shop floor in Bloomington, and no separate pricing by city.

Bloomington is small enough that the local magic scene is probably three people who know each other. That is not a disadvantage — it is how most performers learn, and a smaller room is a more honest audience than a big one.

There is no brick-and-mortar magic shop in most of Bloomington, which is the usual reason people end up ordering. The trade-off is that you cannot handle a prop before buying it, so every listing says plainly what ships, what is included, and whether instructions come with it.

Bloomington

Stage and parlour

Props that read from the back row: appearing and vanishing canes, flower productions, linking rings in 30cm chrome, silks, flash bags and the larger apparatus. Stage material asks more of your staging than your fingers — the method is usually simple and the presentation is the whole job.

Bloomington

Coin magic

Coin work travels better than anything else: one gimmick in a pocket and whatever change you already have. A plate that lets a borrowed coin fall through the base of a glass, and a coin you can see straight through — both work with the coins in your hand rather than a matched set you have to go and buy. Harder than cards to learn, and considerably stronger when it lands.

Starting out in Bloomington

If you are starting, the honest advice is to buy three things and work them until they are invisible, rather than twenty and perform none of them. A Svengali deck, a set of sponge balls and a decent close-up mat will carry you further in six months than a drawer of apparatus.

Where to buy magic tricks in Bloomington

There are three places to buy magic tricks in Bloomington: a toy or party shop, a general marketplace, or a magic shop that sells nothing else. The first sells props that break, the second rarely says whether instructions are included, and the third is what this is. Nothing is listed here without saying what arrives and what it is for.

Bloomington

Magic in the Midwest

The midwest is the historic centre of American magic manufacturing — Abbott's in Colon, Michigan has been making apparatus since 1934, and the Get-Together still draws thousands of magicians every August.
