Looking for a taxidermied beaver. This is your place. Various skeletal parts from a variety of animals. This is your place. 100 year old medical devices of a dubious nature. Go here. Certainly worth a stop, even if you just walk out with memories and maybe a stickers. Or a squirrel.

Live demonstrations performed daily! Magic, Inc. is one of the oldest brick and mortar magics shop in North America. Begun as the Ireland Magic Company in 1926, it was incorporated in 1963 by Jay Marshall and Frances Ireland Marshall when it became Magic, Inc. We have continued to be the leading-edge magic source for magic tricks, books, DVDs, lessons and lectures. The shop has been frequented by such magical legends as Penn & Teller, Lance Burton, David Copperfield, Mac King, Johnny Thompson, David Blaine, Doug Henning, Harry Blackstone (Sr. & Jr.) and many more. Magic, Inc. is conveniently located on Chicago's northwest side, about 4 blocks away from the Damen stop on the Brown Line, one block from the Ravenswood stop on the Metra. Our staff of professional magicians makes shopping at Magic, Inc. a unique experience, and also affords a high-level of magical instruction (beginner through advanced). Stop by and ask to see a demonstration - we'd love to show you what you can do!

Months ago I decided to go here as I just thought it would be an interesting spot to check out. Pedro, Luis, Nathan, and the rest of the staff have been super helpful in getting me interested in learning magic. Highly skilled magicians from around the world visit this shop. I've met some really interesting people here, joined a magic study group, and like the lectures they have here. Stop in and learn/buy a magic trick.
