Magic supplies in Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania

Everything in the shop ships to Reading — card magic, coin magic, mentalism, stage props and the gimmicks that make them work.

We post to every address in Berks County and the rest of Pennsylvania — there is no shop floor in Reading, and no separate pricing by city.

Reading 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.

Whether you are after card tricks, coin magic, mentalism props or something for a stage set, the range in Reading is the same range everyone else gets. Trick decks, marked decks, coin gimmicks, forcing dice, sponge balls, cups, silks, canes and the gimmicks behind them.

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.

Reading

Mentalism

The quietest magic and often the strongest. Forcing dice, a dice box that reads what is shaken inside it, brass mental dice and PK rings let you know a thought, a number or a word without ever touching a deck. It plays to adults, it plays in corporate rooms, and it leaves no prop to blame.

Starting out in Reading

If you are starting, the honest advice is to buy three things and work them until they are invisible, rather than twenty and perform none of them. A Svengali deck, a set of sponge balls and a decent close-up mat will carry you further in six months than a drawer of apparatus.

Where to buy magic tricks in Reading

There are three places to buy magic tricks in Reading: a toy or party shop, a general marketplace, or a magic shop that sells nothing else. The first sells props that break, the second rarely says whether instructions are included, and the third is what this is. Nothing is listed here without saying what arrives and what it is for.

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.
