Magic Shops Scam Magicians !
If these words sound harsh I say this for a reason. Many magic shops selling magic tricks via the internet scam aspiring magicians. Now I’m not saying every magic shop scams aspiring magicians but many do. Some companies selling magic tricks online do provide quality magic tricks .
In case you are wondering how to find a magic shop that sells quality magic tricks I will show you how to do this in this article. Here are a few simple but important rules. Remember cheaper is not always better. When purchasing magic tricks always purchase the best quality. It would be quite sad performing a magic trick then the trick fails. What if the secret becomes exposed this could ruin your show.
If you purchase quality magic tricks this will never happen. Many of these so called magic shops care nothing about magic. These online magic shops exist only to make large profits. This type of magic shop cares nothing about aspiring magicians. Do you thinks this type of magic shop will survive very long ? It will shock you to learn these magic shops don’t know which magic tricks are the best for performing onstage or off.
Why would someone sell magic tricks when they know nothing about magic or magicians. Lets say someone wants to make big money online. They decide magic tricks are hot so they find a supplier order products set prices then place the products online.
Then they see their competition has lower prices so they decide to lower their prices. Cutting the prices reduces the profit so they make less money. The magic shop decides to buy a lower quality of magic tricks. Now they start making more money but the quality has gone down. Who gets burned you guessed it the unsuspecting magician.
There was a time when a magic shop was owned by a real magician. One could go into the magic shop to buy magic tricks. This local magic shop sold to many professional magicians.
Those days are almost just about over. The local magic shop must pay rent and many other expenses. If they wish to stay in business the local magic must charge higher prices then the magic shop selling magic tricks online.
Because this magic shop has so much overhead it has a very hard time competing with a magic shop selling magic tricks online. Its hard competing with someone who has almost no overhead.
So follow these simple rules to avoid getting scammed.
1.Always ask if the website owner is a magician.
2.Has he/she ever performed in a magic show.
3.How long has the company been in business.
4.Buy one expensive trick and see how the quality is. If quality is good this is a real magic shop.
So follow these simple guidelines to avoid being scammed.
