Wheeling is a river city in West Virginia's Northern Panhandle, the seat of Ohio County with a small corner in Marshall County, about twenty-six thousand people on the east bank of the Ohio. It was a stop on the National Road, its 1849 suspension bridge still carries traffic to Wheeling Island, and its Victorian downtown holds the 1928 Capitol Theatre, home of the Wheeling Symphony and for decades the broadcast stage of Jamboree USA. Oglebay Park's winter Festival of Lights and the Nailers' hockey nights at WesBanco Arena keep the calendar full.

Wheeling has a real place in touring-magic history too: a 1938 recollection kept by the Ohio County Public Library names Houdini, Kellar, Blackstone and Thurston among the acts that played here. We could not confirm a current magic club or magic shop. Sleight is an online shop with no counter in Wheeling; this page covers what local rooms want and where to look nearby.

Wheeling

Stage magic in a city that saw Houdini and Thurston

The big touring illusion shows reached Wheeling because the city sat on the rail and river routes between Pittsburgh and the west. A modern performer can't carry Thurston's freight, but a parlour act still benefits from props built to be seen across a room. The Appearing Cane — Metal makes an opening, the Linking Rings — Stage 30cm a centrepiece, and Magic Silk — 30cm colour. See stage magic and famous magicians in history.

Close-up work for Centre Market and Oglebay

Centre Market's restaurants and the lodge and event rooms at Oglebay host rehearsal dinners, reunions and holiday parties through the light-festival season. Those rooms want strolling magic: a Chop Cup Ball Set for one table, a PK Ring — Silver for the next. Browse close-up magic.

Where to buy magic tricks in Wheeling

We could not confirm a walk-in magic shop in Wheeling or anywhere in Ohio or Marshall County today. The panhandle's gift and card shops sell games and puzzles, not performer props.

Panhandle magicians mostly buy online or make the run to Pittsburgh. Our product pages list what's in each box and whether instructions are included.
