In it, Joan Caesar has a wonderful interview with Jeff.
From the interview, Jeff says:
However, a magic shop is a specialty retail store and as such has some unique factors that come into play. Its most unique feature is that the person operating the shop is more central to its relations with the patrons.
Too true Jeff. And we're lucky to have you operating Browser's!
Lee Asher agrees:
With many brick and mortar magic shops closing down and going out of business theses days, Jeff Pinsky works hard to ensure the Ontario magic community continues to thrive. Running The Browser's Den of Magic seven days a week is a small testament to his immense dedication and passion for the art of magic. Thank you Mr. Pinsky. Thank you!
What Lee said!
I've said this before and feel the need to say it again. I urge everyone to support our remaining brick and mortar magic shops. It's the first place many kids get bitten by the magic bug. It's a place they can go for encouragement and coaching, by people in the know. A nurturing community is formed in a local shop, which can't be duplicated through the internet.
Don't have brick and mortar shop in your area? Consider supporting one through their online shops. (I direct your attention to two of the wonderful sponsors of this blog, Perfect Magic and of course, The Browser's Den of Magic!)
