Trickshop.com: A Digital Magic Trick Shop Publishing Magic Tricks and Mental Effects

Coffee or tea stains not included

While we're working hard to produce a line of top quality, print-on-demand magic and mentalism ebooks with writing, photography and layouts that rival our print publishing counterparts, we have no illusions about the ultimate fate our humble books and manuscripts. We know in all likelihood they will end up drink stained or splattered, dog-eared, and sometimes if we're really lucky, highlighted with markers. Why? Because our publications are meant to be used by performers, like you, looking for good, solid material. If we succeed in fulfilling that aim, we're not too worried about a little spill here or there.

Trickshop.com researches the magic literature to uncover, rework, and publish the best public domain material and magic tricks from the past. We also put together new compilations, author our own works, and offer a limited number of books from our industry partners. Our Trick Shop magic catalog offers you hundreds of magic ebooks and manuscripts - from classic magic tricks to innovative new titles and all magic downloads are available instantly.

FROM BRICKS AND MORTAR MAGIC SHOP TO DIGITAL PUBLISHER

Originally a small bricks and mortar magic trick shop in the Chicago suburbs, we published our first magic ebook in 2000. Titled, "Extreme Magic," it was put together with the kind assistance of Tom Dobrowolski, a longtime friend and talented Chicago magician. Tom also posed for many of the photos. With the success of this first effort, we quickly recognized the potential of Adobe Acrobat's portable document format platform for publishing digital books with paginated layouts that were comparable to those in print. The rest, as they say, is history. Our business evolved from a strictly retail and mail order enterprise with daily trips to the local post office to one where our "products" are delivered "electronically," if you will, by email.

During this time, our goal has always been to make this material accessible to magic performers, young and old alike. And so, unlike some of our magic publishing competitors who charge whatever the traffic will bear (in some cases surpassing the cost of printed books and booklets), we believe in passing along the economies of digital publishing to you, so the price you pay for our ebooks is typically far less than the competition charges. We think that's only right and fair, which we hope is not an outdated concept.

Here are five things that set us apart:

1. Extensive Selection: A curated collection of powerful, audience-tested magic tricks, illusions, and mentalism effects.
2. Exclusive Magic eBooks: Access rare, historical, and original magic manuscripts digitally enhanced for easy reading and performance.
3. Instant Downloads: All magic ebooks are delivered instantly in PDF format, ready to access and enjoy within minutes.
4. Reliable Quality: Every publication meets the highest standards, ensuring your magic consistently impresses.
5. Affordable Prices: The majority of our PDFs are just $4 (usd) or less! No that price is not a misprint. Plus, we offer email newsletter subscribers discounts on new magic books for a limited period, as well as have sales from time to time.

Most important of all, our carefully restored magic ebooks give you direct access to the secrets and methods of magic's greatest minds. From legendary performers, thinkers, and innovators, like Fred Kaps, Al Koran, Jim Thompson, George Anderson, Jack Yates, Eddie Joseph, Bob Hummer, Ed Marlo, and others, to modern creators shaping the industry (see our list of MagicSeen titles), our collection preserves valuable insights that inspire and educate wizards globally.
