As an amateur magician I use MoM quite frequently. They seem to stock an almost limitless quantity of tricks/equipment/cards and goodness knows what else. Delivery is speedy. Communications are good.... See more

A perfect Experience From MOM.
I have been using Merchant Of Magic for a great number of years now and have found all there magic equipment and tricks to be of a high standard and with reasonable pricing.
I have very rarely had any problems with my tricks and if there is a problem it is sorted very quickly by email or a phone call and the staff are quick to sort the problem out and also they will help you with any information or instructions you need.
The prices of there stock and tricks are very reasonable from beginner to expert and the postage is well priced, you do get delays with delivery but this is usually by the delivery company.
I would definitely recommend buying from Merchant Of Magic you have a great choice of stock with expert help if required and just a phone call away.

Marked Deck disappointment
I purchased a Marked Deck this week the marks were impossible to make out especially in a working situation unless you have 20/20 vision, I checked the deck out with a few magic friends who all agreed they were impossible to read, i posted a critic re this and I got a text from the company asking me to delete it because they were a small company doing their best, I did delete it the next day I decided to return the deck but had to give up on that course because of the swings and roundabouts I as requested to do. I just have to accept the loss only £13 (not a lot) but the principle makes it disappointing ....GeoFitz
Not the cheapest or the quickest
"Special" July Mystery Box
I'm not sure what was "special" about the "special edition" but it certainly contained a varied selection of magic tricks. It didn't come in a white box as expected and shown on the website but that is hardly a negative point. My favourite was Crystal Cleaver by Tenyo that I had been meaning to buy for a while. As usual, the value of the tricks well exceeded the price paid for the Mystery Box and I will be learning both Red Pill and Polarity to show friends. The Bounce/No Bounce balls are a bit of fun with the grandkids. All in all some good tricks that I will definitely perform.
Whilst I agree that some of the tricks are "old" (Red PIll by Chris Ramsey is 11 years old) that doesn't mean that they are bad tricks. If anything, it could mean that whoever saw them back in the day is likely to have forgotten them.
I've always had great service from Merchant of Magic and will continue to buy from them in the future.
Merchants of Magic are Magic!
I love using Merchants of Magic for buying my cards, tricks and equipment.
I only do magic to my friends and workmates so only buy the easier products but the choice from this shop is massive and covers all levels.
It's easy to buy, quick delivery and you get kept up to date with new releases. The website has good demo videos of the products so you can see what your buying.
The email contact is quite regular but I don't mind.
Great company to buy from.

The Merchant of Magic bothered to phone me and explained that the shipment was delayed. Thank You.
Great source for often unique magic props, with fantastic CS!
I have ordered from this magic company several times now, and they have always been promptly responsive to any of my inquiries, listened to my good experiences, and the one time I had a problem. Each time, they were courteous and listened to what I had to say. They took my suggestions to heart, and then made sure my future orders were top notch. One thing I can tell you is not to judge them if you have any problems with your first order.
Be sure to email customer service with any problems or praise first. After sending a simple email regarding your experience, they will respond and give you an answer regarding that experience and will do whatever it takes to give you an answer and help you. Now you've done your homework and even if they didn't give you the solution you wanted, be sure to order a second time to give them a chance to make it a better experience. My second order, and three more after that, have been so much better, and I applaud the effort!
Thank you for sending such useful magic props in the mystery box, and for listening to my feedback!
