Magic supplies in Davenport, Scott County, Iowa
Props, gimmicks and trick decks, posted to Davenport. The same catalogue a working magician would carry, without a counter to stand at.
We post to every address in Scott County and the rest of Iowa — there is no shop floor in Davenport, and no separate pricing by city.
Davenport 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.
Most people looking for magic tricks in Davenport want one of three things: something to learn tonight, a gift for someone starting out, or a specific gimmick to finish a routine they already perform. All three are here — self-working decks and sponge balls at one end, shells and stage apparatus at the other.
Davenport
Close-up and street magic
Material built to survive inspection from three feet away: sponge balls, cups and balls, chop cups, ring gimmicks and close-up mats. Street and table work is the most forgiving way to get good, because the audience is small enough to restart and honest enough to tell you when it did not land.
Davenport
Card magic
Trick decks do the heavy lifting while you learn: a Svengali deck forces a card without a single sleight, a marked deck tells you what they took, and a stripper deck lets you find it blind. Most working repertoires are still mostly cards, and most of them start here.
Davenport
Starting out in Davenport
The first year is about repetition, not acquisition. Pick one effect, perform it a hundred times for real people, and only then buy the second one. Everything in the beginner collection is chosen to survive that kind of use.

Where to buy magic tricks in Davenport
Look for a magic shop in Davenport and you will turn up costume shops and toy sections. Neither stocks a Svengali deck or a close-up mat worth owning. The props a performer actually wants come by post, which is why every listing here says what is in the box, whether instructions come with it, and how hard the thing is to do.
Davenport
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.
