Magic Resource Links to Other Sites

Last update: 11 Nov 2009: added MagicNook.com, ArteFake.com (awesome French reference guide to magic); Levent's Magic; Fantasma Magic; House of Magic.
05 November 2009. All Links Validated. Neil Martin Lester passed away September 16, 2009, so Cards By Martin is no longer in business. I'm keeping the link as the site is still up as a tribute to Neil. A great loss for the Magic Industry and Family. Added JBTV's USA site; Added Mikame Craft's Japanese website; Added Jeff Hobson's Egg Bag Site; Added Magic by Pauline (Tong); Moved Jay Sankey's site to the Magic Shops section rather than the Wholesale category; Magic Spoonerisms site is back up!; A1-Magical Media site "under construction"; Bicycletricks.co.uk is closed, but I've kept the link as there is still info up at the site; Updated Doc Eason's store link; Corrected Magic City link; Updated Earth's Largest Magic Shop link; Deleted Scott Holllingsworth's Magic Edge site, which is now just a Marketing Promotion business; Deleted Justin Miller's Close Up Artist site which is gone; Updated Magic Ian's link; Lock Family Magic is closed; Eric Reamer's Illustrated Illusions site seems to be gone; Fixed some other typos.

I've broken the areas down into: General Magic Information sites, Magic Shops, and Christian Magic, and Wholesale Dealers.

Shopping Recommendations: My first recommendation is to try and find a good local shop near you. Sometimes prices will be a little higher than mail order, but overall this is worth it. You can see stuff demonstrated, you can see what you are buying, and if you develop a good relationship with the owner, he or she can let you in on good deals, let you weed out the good stuff from the junk, and so forth. It generally costs more to run a store front than just a warehouse (or garage!) and a web page. However, many magicians don't have stores local to them, or the local stores aren't very good, or they just don't carry what you are looking for.

This listing (in somewhat of an alphabetical order) does not represent every good shop, and note that some listings are here for the sake of the reference pages and I have never shopped there.
