Magic and Wonder Tickets Magic and wonder tickets are a concept that revolves around the idea of experiencing extraordinary and fantastical events, moments, or places. These tickets grant access to realms beyond the ordinary, where imagination comes to life and the impossible becomes possible. One of the most alluring aspects of magic and wonder tickets is the element of surprise. You never know what awaits you on the other side of the ticket. It could be a marvelous hidden world, a breathtaking performance, or a mystical journey that defies the laws of nature. The anticipation and suspense of what lies ahead add to the excitement and make the experience truly magical.

I know we've covered this question before and I believe it was quite recently - can't find the thread, sorry! Anywho, I think the answer was that JB and Tommy Cooper's were the only ones. Ironic that the town which hosts the biggest magic Convention on the planet each February doesn't seem to actually have a magic shop.

EDit: Google shows a Magic Wand shop - http://magicwandshop.co.uk/3.html , but not really 'conjuring' stuff. Illusuoncraft are showing an address of 12 Taybank Avenue, Blackpool; Tommy Cooper's is listed as being at Royal Oak Buildings Waterloo Rd Blackpool FY4 2AB. Moving the goalposts a little there's always Taurus Magic at 32, Pilling Lane, Preesall, Poulton-Le-Fylde, Lancashire, FY6 0EU.

Thanks Mandrake, I was really just casting around in case something new had opened. The irony was not lost on me vis a vis the Convention and the strength of the Blackpool Magic Club not being enough to support a shop in town.

I saw the Magic Wand shop. Looks a bit hippy open toe sandal knit your own yoghurt sort of stuff to me

There WAS The House Of Secrets--opposite Central Pier.

But as the owner (his name has slipped m memory) died not long ago--it may not be there.

I used to have a magic studio in Blackpool! And of course Murray's Magic Mart was there for years and years. Those were the days.

. the days when you could get fish and chips for 1/6 on the prom or even for 1/3 from the chippies further away from the prom. Note to those who have no idea about £ s d, those sums convert to 7.1/2p and about 6p in today's mickey mouse money.

I think I was there when decimalisation was in but not by much. I left Blackpool in the late seventies.

Feb 15th 1971 was Decimal Day and the fish and chips have increased in price ever since!

As for the Blackpool Magicians Club not being enough to support a shop that lot never bought a thing anyway. Old Murray once told me that if he had to rely on the local magic club he would starve. Oddly enough I found that to be the case in Dublin too where I had a magic business. And in Toronto too the local magic clubs do not support the two magic shops in town to any great degree.

I still remember the time that Herb Morrissey was asked to countersign a regular customer's application to the local IBM ring. He agreed to do it but said, "Once I do this and you become a member I will never see you again"

And guess what? He was right!

A member shows someone a trick, person says "Where did you get that from? I'll buy one" member says "No need to buy it, I'll show you, then you can make it up yourself!!

Or they get it from the bloody internet! I think you have to be very brave to be a magic dealer nowadays. What with the recession and the internet only the fittest will survive. And the latter is a bigger danger than the former. The recession will eventually go away but the internet never will. May God have mercy on your soul if you are a brick and mortar magic shop.

Reviews for "Capturing the Magic: Tips for Taking Stunning Photos at Magic Shows"

1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really excited to see "Magic and Wonder Tickets" but was ultimately disappointed. The magic tricks were lackluster and predictable, and there was no sense of wonder or amazement. The performances felt rushed and poorly executed, leaving me feeling underwhelmed. I expected more from a show that promises magic and wonder. Overall, I would not recommend "Magic and Wonder Tickets" to others.

2. John - 1/5 - "Magic and Wonder Tickets" was a complete waste of time and money. The show was poorly organized, with the performers stumbling over their words and their tricks lacking any sort of finesse or skill. The production value was incredibly low, with cheap props and an unappealing set design. The show failed to capture my attention and failed to deliver on its promise of magic and wonder. Save your money and skip this one.

3. Emily - 3/5 - I had mixed feelings about "Magic and Wonder Tickets". While the performers showed some impressive skills in a few trick demonstrations, overall, the show left a lot to be desired. The pacing was off, with too much time spent on unnecessary banter and not enough focus on the actual magic. Additionally, the show lacked cohesiveness; it felt like a mishmash of unrelated acts. While there were moments of enjoyment, "Magic and Wonder Tickets" did not fully deliver on its potential.
