Magic supplies in Grand Forks, Grand Forks County, North Dakota

Long Red River Valley winters mean house parties, game-night tables and watch parties, which are made for card magic. A Stripper Deck finds a shuffled-back card every time, and a Marked Stripper Deck lets you name one too. See card magic for beginners and the card magic collection.

Student groups at UND book entertainers for formals and welcome-week events, and a strong ten-minute act is the way in. Build it from one or two props from the beginner collection, and read how to become a magician for the order to learn things in.

We could not confirm a walk-in magic dealer in Grand Forks, East Grand Forks or anywhere in Grand Forks County. The mall's toy and game shops have boxed sets for a single evening, not props you can keep working.

So local performers buy online. Our product pages say what comes in each box and whether written instructions are included.

Asked where the best place to buy magic tricks online is, we'd point a Grand Forks reader at a shop that tells you what each prop does and was stocked by a performer, which is Sleight's approach. The same order can include puzzles like the Metal Wire Puzzles for a long winter, and decks from our playing cards range.

Fargo is about an hour and fifteen minutes south on I-29 and has the region's biggest event market, so a Grand Forks performer often works both ends of the valley. Bismarck, the capital, is about four hours west across the prairie. For all our North Dakota pages see magic in North Dakota.

We post to every Grand Forks address, including campus mailrooms, on the same terms as anywhere else in the US, and to East Grand Forks across the river as well.
