Catalpa Trading Co — Local services in Dover

This store is mind-blowing! I can't remember the last time I've been in a shop with this many nostalgic and vintage novelties, collectibles, and magic-related memorabilia - the store is crammed on every shelf, in every corner, with fascinating items.

I cannot wait to go back to explore more at leisure! We came because we had tickets to see the Halloween magic show, so we didn't get to explore the store items enough.

However, the magic show was the highlight of our visit to Berlin! We didn't realize this is a family affair - a charming, highly entertaining, old-fashioned magic show in a beautiful little theatre that also serves as a museum to the fabulous vintage posters of famous magicians and illusionists.

The most mesmerizing shop in Berlin for a...

Worth the stop! This place was very fun and the fellow that owns it is very friendly and personable... He's an entertainer, so any reviews you read that state "the guy wouldn't leave us alone" don't understand this fellows giftset... If he didn't want to invest energy/time into you, he probably wouldn't be a very good entertainer, right!?!?! Something I noticed during our 1 hour visit (so much to see), was he goes out of his way to greet everyone... He then pops up throughout your visit to entertain you! The store owner and his store are top notch and you/ your kids will not regret the fun break you made for them during your "not necessarily kid friendly a majority of the shopping day"! We will be regular visitors every journey to Amish...

A nice little shop for joke novelties, magic paraphernalia and toys. The real magic (no pun intended) is when they have a magic show in the back of the shop. There was not one this time, but 2yrs ago we caught a show just before it started by chance. It was great!! A nice little theater steeped in old magic banners like the side show Era, and a very good magician that was very fun to watch. We didn't plan on catching the show, but it was too interesting to pass up. Glad we did. We all had fun and built a great memory. I should have checked when the show was this week. I would give the place 3 or 4 stars for the nostalgia of the merchandise, but the show bumped it up...
