Magic Shop - Meet The Team

MagicShop.co.uk is the online face of The Merchant of Magic, the UK's largest magic shop! We supply and manufacture magic tricks, books, DVDs and accessories to both professional and amateur magicians worldwide.

Our team of dedicated magicians aim to combine the best selection of high quality magic, FAST delivery and expert friendly advice. We hold a range of over 10,000 magic tricks permanently in stock, and because we order weekly from suppliers worldwide, we have access to thousands of additional items with a 2-3 day order time. This just about covers every branch and discipline of magic.

All our sales team are full members of the world famous Magic Circle and are professional Magicians, so if you need advice, our trained experts are ready to help. We are also a member of The UK Magic Dealers Association, so you can be assured we offer the very highest level of service and quality expected from a professional Magic Dealer.

100% IN STOCK GUARANTEE
We understand that there is nothing worse than ordering a magic trick from a magic shop only to find out later that it is out of stock. Our magic shop has a live inventory, so if you order it from our website, you can be sure that we have it in stock! (Special order items clearly marked are excluded).

One of the guiding principles of The Merchant of Magic is to provide a 'one stop shop' experience for our customers. If they do not see it in our magic shop or on the website, we will bend over backwards to get it in for them. This has really helped us develop long term relationships with our customers as we learn their preferences, performing styles and level of ability. We don't just promote our own magic exclusives so having a huge range to choose from actually gives us freedom to honestly advise if a particular effect is right for the person considering it. Our sales advisors are all professional magicians and members of the Magic Circle.

Our magic shop, in Waterlooville, Hampshire acts as a base for 'magic workshops' and personal tuition sessions. Open to magicians of all ages and abilities wishing to take advantage of our teams expert advice and extensive range of professional magic.

A huge selection, expert impartial advice, same day dispatch, free next day delivery and a 100% in-stock guarantee.

MEET THE TEAM

www.dominic-reyes.co.uk

"MagicShop.co.uk is all about customer service. Our internet site gives us the opportunity to give customers a service that is very hard to achieve face to face. Before becoming a dealer, I would be so excited about visiting my favorite magic shop. But I knew that I coudn't just walk in and ask the staff to sit with me exclusively and demonstrate each and every item in the shop again and again. The internet is really just one of our sales advisors, an advisor who is totally committed to giving each customer its undivided personal attention and can, without being interrupted provide hundreds of magic demonstrations. You can actually chat to it too! (well, you have to type 02392 25 22 20 on your telephone, and it's actually myself or one of the sales team, but we are happy to put on a robotic voice if it will add to the experience.)"

Phillip Wedgbrow - Demonstrator & Technical Support

As well as being our head demonstrator, Phillip performs close-up magic around the country for some of the leading companies in the UK. He specialises in close-up 'sleight of hand' magic and enjoys representing the shop at magic conventions.

"I love attending conventions as it gives me a chance to meet our customers face to face. Magic is not just a business, it's a passion and it's more about people than a shop full of tricks."

John Diggens - Warehouse Manager

John is the guy who keeps it all together! Since joining the team five years ago he has crafted the mail order part of the business into an highly tuned machine.

"Having a huge selection is only one of the reasons so many magicians become our regular customers. There is no excuse for broken promises, so magicshop.co.uk only advertises an item if it's here in the warehouse ready to ship. I aim for same day dispatch and 100% quality control"

Ben Williams - Sales Manager

As well being a magic inventor and working magician, Ben keeps Magicshop.co.uk up-to-date with the latest new releases, Ben handles the technical aspects of the shop. His extensive knowledge of magic and a keen eye for practical and entertaining effects, help ensure we only offer the BEST in magic from around the world. If we don't think a new item is up to scratch, we don't supply it!.
