Reviewed By YoshiDarling - Detroit, United States

Hats off to Mike for his dedication in creating this postal museum. It is a magnificient collection and Mike's enthusiasm during the tour is remarkable. We really enjoyed our time there, especially since my husband is a letter carrier. Although, I believe anyone would find this collection and the history very interesting and entertaining.

American Museum of Magic

The American Museum of Magic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Its mission is to inspire and delight the public with the wonder of magic by documenting and celebrating the contributions and lives of magicians.

Reviewed By Thirtysomething02

Historic, two story building that houses real props used by famous magicians. Lots of posters and bits of acts from years gone by. Highlight was seeing the actual custom milk can Houdini would get locked inside. Nothing here is "replica." (Previous to COVID, they had local people doing magic performances on Saturdays, but that is currently on hold.) We enjoyed looking at all the neat artifacts. Since most of the items cannot be handled, would not suggest taking young kids here. Recommend an hour or so to see most items.
