Magic supplies in Novi, Oakland County, Michigan

Exhibitors at the Showplace hire magicians to stop foot traffic at a booth, and hotel hospitality suites book them to keep a room talking. That work is all standing, all surrounded, and often repeated every twenty minutes. Choose effects that reset instantly and can carry a sponsor's message: a Vanishing Card Box, Sponge Balls — Red, Set of Ten and a quick forcing dice prediction. Our guide to building a close-up set covers sequencing for repeat audiences, and the close-up collection lists current stock.

Novi's corridor along Twelve Mile and Haggerty is full of engineering, automotive and tech offices, and their holiday parties and client dinners favour something cerebral over balloon animals. A short mentalism act suits them. The Listening Dice Box lets you divine a hidden number, and a PK Ring — Silver adds moments of apparent telekinesis. See the mentalism collection.

Join the Ann Arbor Magic Club, whatever its name suggests. It meets on the second Wednesday of the month at the Plymouth Community Arts Council on Sheldon Road, and it is the host of Michigan Magic Day, so a member gets the inside view of the convention. Go to the April 2027 public gala show at the Sheraton even if you don't register for the lectures.

Then buy two things and practise them for a month: a Stripper Deck and one object routine. Our guide to magic supplies lists what a first kit needs, and the beginner collection narrows it down.

We found no walk-in magic shop in Novi or anywhere else in Oakland County that we could confirm as trading. Twelve Oaks has toy and gift shops with boxed tricks, which is not the same thing.

The dealer room at Michigan Magic Day is the one place in Novi to handle props before buying, once a year. The rest of the time, buy online; our listings spell out what is included and how much practice an effect needs.

Novi sits where I-96, I-275 and M-5 meet, which puts much of metro Detroit within half an hour. Livonia is immediately south-east, Ann Arbor about twenty-five minutes south-west, and Troy and Detroit under forty minutes east. The Detroit Magic Club's meetings in Clawson are reachable on a weeknight. See magic in Michigan.

The hotels around the Showplace host banquets and awards nights for associations as well as company events, and those sometimes want a short stage spot after dinner. For a ballroom, use props that hold a sightline over round tables: a set of linking rings, a Thumb Tip Streamer — 5 × 108cm Silk production, and the Stick to Flowers for a closing visual. The stage magic collection has the rest.

We post to every address in Novi and across Oakland County, including business addresses for a booth or event, on the same terms as anywhere in the US. Most of the range ships from our supplier, so we don't name a delivery date; order well before a trade show, not the week of it. Unopened items can come back within 30 days of delivery.
