Magic supplies in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio
If you are performing in Dayton, or learning to, this is where the props come from. Decks, gimmicks, coins, cups, silks and the rest.
We post to every address in Montgomery County and the rest of Ohio — there is no shop floor in Dayton, and no separate pricing by city.
Dayton 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.
If you have been learning from videos and want the props to go with them, this is the shortcut. Marked decks, Svengali decks, stripper decks, coin gimmicks and close-up mats all ship to Dayton, and the listings say which effects each one is actually used for.
Dayton
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.
Dayton
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.

Starting out in Dayton
Nobody needs an expensive prop to start. The strongest beginner material in the shop costs less than lunch — self-working decks, sponge balls and forcing dice — and all of it still gets used by people who have been performing for twenty years.

Where to buy magic tricks in Dayton
Magic shops closed almost everywhere between 2000 and 2015, Dayton included, and the trade moved online. The gain is range — a marked deck, a chop cup and a set of linking rings in one order. The cost is that you cannot handle anything first, so the listings are written to be read instead: what ships, what it does, what it takes to do it.
Dayton
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.
