Master Your Magic

It’s been a long time since Magic graced the streets of Disneyland (and I don’t mean “Disney Magic”!).

Disneyland's Main Street Magic Shop

Magic shops are a part of Disneyland’s tradition, but lately, the “Main Street Magic Shop” was anything by magical. Sally French reported that nothing but generic Disney merchandise was available in the store during recent months.

We don’t have long to wait now, because this November the classic “Main Street Magic Shop” will come to life again with tricks and magicians.

Although the shop name will remain the same, “Houdini’s Magic Shop” is taking over as a private operator. David Gill, a spokesman for Disneyland, said “Houdini’s” was selected because of its strong reputation and the fact that it holds rights to key magic tricks. Besides selling magic tricks and supplies, the shop will also employ certified magicians to do tricks for shop guests.
