Seattle Magic Shop

When you think of Seattle magic you might think of when widely known magician Doug Henning performed his magic show in Seattle in the mid 80's. Or you may be thinking of when the Orlando Magic played the Seattle SuperSonics on numerous occasions in Seattle's Key Arena.

But I'm talking about the Seattle Magic shop located in the historic Pike Place Market, famous tourist attraction and outlet for Seattle magicians. Known as Market Magic, this Seattle magic shop has some incredible gems for both professional illusionists as well as the aspiring conjurer. What makes this magic shop so incredible is their creativity in atmosphere as well as the unique sales technique.

Atmosphere:
Past the Pike Place Market flying fish and down the walkway to the 2nd floor you'll notice the Great Alexander's fortune telling machine sitting in front of Market Magic. The 1907 building has a bit of an old-fashioned feel that is hard to resist. Walk through the doors and past the crowd of people - there's much to be seen. Whether you're looking for juggling pins, comedic books or gag-gifts, you'll find them all hanging on the wall next to the array of signed magician photos. Occasionally you may even see some of the resident Seattle Magic working magicians stopping by to replenish their supplies.

Sales Technique:
Let's face it: this magic shop run by owners Sheila and Daryl is a business and must remain profitable. They are not simply there to have the generous staff perform free illusions for onlookers as they get a taste for what the Seattle magic scene is all about. Watching the staff magician perform effects up close in your hands is thrilling for out of town guests as well as the seasonal cruise industry traffic. Shopping for your child's birthday and/or yourself couldn't be any more fun as you laugh in utter disbelief. You'll probably walk away with a self-working magic trick deck of cards even if you don't plan on using them.

 

So if you plan on visiting Seattle, I highly recommend you stop by Seattle's Market Magic and see what it's like to be a kid again.
