Buy magic tricks online — shipped from our UK warehouse
Vanishing Inc. Magic is the world's largest magic retailer, but we didn't start that way. Andi Gladwin and Joshua Jay created Vanishing Inc. back in 2009 to be the online magic shop they had always wanted. Our employees are all magicians with the same clear goal: to improve the art of magic. While we may have a huge selection of magic tricks, books, and downloads, rest assured that we curate the inventory and make sure we're only stocking the best of the best.
While much of our team is in the states, we're still a UK magic shop. Not only is our cofounder Andi Gladwin a top UK magician, but we have a UK magic warehouse in Blackpool and a dedicated team of British magicians filming, testing products, answering questions in our customer service team, and packing orders in our UK warehouse. They're British magicians just like you, and can answer any questions about when your order will ship, help with returns, or even just which tricks are good for your mates at the pub. You can also find us at conventions and The Session.
This page is the hub for our UK magic shop, and also gathers the articles we think every UK magician should have bookmarked. From who we are on the ground, beginner-friendly picks, card magic and coin magic guides, and practical notes for life as a British magician. Shopping the full store? Start from beginner magic, card magic, or new arrivals. For policy details (including international orders), see customs and borders or our FAQs.
