Magic supplies in Erie, Erie County, Pennsylvania
Props, gimmicks and trick decks, posted to Erie. The same catalogue a working magician would carry, without a counter to stand at.
We post to every address in Erie County and the rest of Pennsylvania — there is no shop floor in Erie, and no separate pricing by city.
Erie 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 Erie 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.
Erie
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.
Erie
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.

Starting out in Erie
Beginners usually buy too much. One self-working deck, one coin gimmick and one routine you can perform without thinking is worth more than a shelf of props you half know. The decks under $15 are not the cheap option — they are what most professionals learned on.

Where to buy magic tricks in Erie
The short answer is by post, and that is not a sales pitch — there is no magic shop left in most American cities. The few that survive are in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York. What is left locally is the party-supply aisle and the fancy-dress rack, which sell plastic props to children and nothing you would perform twice. Ordering is simply how magic is bought now, in Erie as everywhere else.
Erie
Magic in the Northeast
The northeast has the densest concentration of magic clubs in the country, and New York in particular has a long close-up tradition running from Dai Vernon's circle through to the sessions still happening in the back of coffee shops.
