Magic supplies in Burbank, Los Angeles County, California

Burbank's corporate work is entertainment-industry work: wrap parties, premieres, studio lot events and agency dinners. That audience has seen everything on screen and is hard to impress with apparatus. What still works is close-up magic that happens in their own hands, three feet away, with nothing to edit. A marked deck, a coin that vanishes under their nose, a card that changes while they hold it. Keep the set short and personal — industry crowds talk among themselves, and you are a moment in the evening, not the evening.

Mentalism is the other strong card to play in Burbank rooms, because it can't be dismissed as camera tricks. A prediction revealed at the end of dinner, a number guessed with forcing dice, a PK ring effect done in someone's palm. All of it is small enough to carry to a lot event and strong enough for a cynical audience. Browse the mentalism collection.

The Magic Castle is private: performers join by audition, and there is a Junior Society for magicians aged 13 to 19. That is a realistic goal for a young magician in Burbank, and it shapes what you should buy first — not apparatus, but a few props you can master. A Svengali deck, a set of sponge balls and a close-up mat cover the basics. The beginner collection is built for that first year.

Burbank is one of the few places in the US where you have a real choice. The Magic Apple on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City was reported operating in June 2026 — check its hours before you go. If you'd rather order, every listing here says what's included, whether there are instructions and how hard the effect is. Unopened items can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Plenty of local magicians do both: they handle props in the shop and buy staples online.

Los Angeles has the densest magic scene in the country. The Castle is the centre of it; Ring 21 meets in Los Angeles; S.A.M. Assembly 22 meets in Duarte in the San Gabriel Valley. Even inside Burbank there are occasional shows — the Mystic Museum on Magnolia Boulevard hosted a magic show in March 2025. Glendale borders Burbank to the east, Pasadena is a short drive further, and Los Angeles proper starts at Toluca Lake and North Hollywood.

Away from the studios, Burbank is a family city: Magnolia Park's shops, the Burbank Town Center, the Rancho equestrian neighbourhood, and a steady calendar of private parties. Party work in the Valley is competitive, and hosts here have often seen a professional entertainer before, so polish matters. Build a twenty-minute show around audience participation: sponge balls in a volunteer's hand, flowers appearing from an empty stick, cups and balls with a final load the whole room can see. Look at the close-up collection for props that survive being handled.
