Magic supplies in Fort Myers, Lee County, Florida

Fort Myers' busy months run from roughly November to April, when part-year residents return and visitors arrive. That's when the community clubhouses, country clubs, restaurants and private parties book entertainment. Those audiences tend to be older, sociable and happy to be fooled, and what plays is clean, well-paced magic with a bit of humour — a mentalism piece with a prediction, a card routine for the whole table. Forcing dice and a PK ring are strong and easy to carry; see the mentalism collection.

Fort Myers hosts two spring training clubs: the Boston Red Sox at JetBlue Park and the Minnesota Twins at Hammond Stadium. February and March bring hospitality events, sponsor tents and fan gatherings, all well suited to walk-around close-up. Build a set of quick, visual pieces that need no table: a card that changes, a coin vanish, sponge balls. See the close-up collection.

Visit a Southwest Florida Magicians Association meeting before you buy much — watching experienced members will save you money. Then start with three props and use them until they're invisible: a self-working deck, sponge balls and a close-up mat. The beginner collection is built for that first year.

We found no walk-in magic shop in Fort Myers today. Party and costume stores sell novelty tricks, but not props you'd perform with regularly. Most Southwest Florida magicians order online. Our listings say what ships, whether instructions are included and how hard each effect is; unopened items can be returned within 30 days of delivery.

The Southwest Florida Magicians Association meets on the fourth Tuesday at 7 PM at the Golden Gate VFW post in Naples, about forty minutes south, and posts updates to its Facebook group. Cape Coral is across the river, and Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Estero and Bonita Springs all share Lee County's performing circuit. The Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall, with the largest proscenium stage in Southwest Florida, books touring productions all season.

Fort Myers' biggest community event began in 1938 to honour Thomas Edison, whose winter home and laboratory still stand on McGregor Boulevard beside Henry Ford's. The 88th festival ended with the Grand Parade of Light in February 2026. For performers, the festival season is a chance to work large family crowds — and a city that celebrates an inventor is a natural fit for a presentation built around light and invention: a stage production — a cane or a bouquet appearing from nowhere.

We deliver to every address in Fort Myers and across Lee County on the same terms as anywhere else in the US. Most of the range ships directly from our supplier and we don't quote delivery dates — for winter-season bookings, order in the autumn. See shipping and returns and refunds.
