Stopped in about a month ago to find a Covert Reel. They were out of them but Paul saved the day and had one sent down to the shop waiting for me! He even took down my number and called me as soon as it arrived to let me know that he had it back in stock. As soon as I had time to get to the shop and pick it up I was very impressed with Paul's customer service and knowledge in the magic industry. He was friendly and happy to listen to my crazy stories about performing and made me feel comfortable during my purchase. As a magician from a small town in northern California it was really nice that he took the time to chat with me about a few tricks that I had created and what it would take to promote them to the world!
Paul was extremely professional and looked like he loved his job. I don't know what he makes per hour and if he hasn't already received a raise for his customer service I would gladly write up a summary of my visit and presented to whoever owns the business to ask to give him a raise.
I wish that I had a magic shop in the town that I live in up in Northern California just like this one. I will be coming back every time I get a chance even if not to make a purchase just to talk with the staff! If I could give more than five stars review I totally would.
Thank you Paul for my great time during my visit to the shop! I highly recommend that people come in and get a live performance if not young magicians wanting to learn or people just looking for something to be the center of attention. They will have what you need here!
Because of you all of my future purchases will be done through this magic shop for anything and everything that I need to continue my career...
Read moreWhile I was excited to have found a legitimate magic shop online, that has variety of product and isn't a 'guy in his garage' type business, I have to say that my experience ordering from them is disappointing. I ordered on 7/26, but my shipment was not sent out until 8/14. Items listed as in stock were not, and were removed from my order and refunded with only a notification of the credit card refund (no communication from Magic Shop San Diego) -- I was considering ordering elsewhere but chose Magic Shop San Diego because I could get all of the items I wanted in one place - not so after all. I reached out to them on several occasions with questions and asking for updates, and never once received any communication back. I am looking forward to getting my shipment, but will think very carefully before taking the chance to choose to order from them again. I imagine it's a great place to go into in San Diego, but their online operations...
Read moreBeen practicing magic for 40 years and have been to LOTS of magic stores through the years - this one is as good as any of them - and better than most. Helpful magicians working the counter were able to advise and assist. They have all the classics and much of the new to include difficult to find modern tricks. I live in DC and make a habit to stop by when in San Diego. Whether you are a seasoned pro, someone shopping for a beginner, or just looking for a gag, you're gonna find it here. Brick and mortar magic shops are a disappearing trick! Nice to find a great one opening up! Thank you!...
