Of all the things that have come and gone at Walt Disney World, this one shop, which had meant so much to our family during each of our visits, was one that had a huge impact on us.
With a little practice at home, friends and family would be genuinely impressed by your skills in prestidigitation.Īfter TEN years, Magic Masters in Downtown Disney closed its doors.
#HOUDINI MAGIC STORE HOW TO#
The beauty of the whole setup was that you could see a real magician perform a trick flawlessly – then learn the secret! When you purchased tricks, you received coaching right then and there on exactly how to get it right. So many tricks and tools of the trade could be purchased in the confines of that enchanted store! We never, ever left empty-handed. Then…presto! The line at the cash register would form…as if by magic! Not only would they flawlessly amaze and astound onlookers with their magic, they were true performers…drawing audience members into their show skillfully and cleverly until every single person in that tiny, crowded space was breathlessly hanging onto the magician’s every word and gesture. No matter when we visited, a magician was on hand to demonstrate sleight of hand. Oh, the fun times we’d had in that store!ĭesigned to look like the library one might find in a magician’s home (Houdini’s to be exact) – complete with fireplace and bookcases, and enchanted tools of the trade, this store was…well…magical.
When we heard that the store would not be renewing their lease and would leave forever in September, 2011, we were crushed. Easy to find along the West Side shopping district, the giant top hat and magic wand on the store’s front were iconic. Gone but not forgotten! The magic store (Magic Masters) in Downtown Disney was, hands down, one of our top must-do’s on every Walt Disney World vacation.
