Just over a year ago we all put our heads down and did what needed to be done.
While we were hunkered down, a big shift happened in the Canadian magic community.
We’re down to TWO dedicated brick and mortar magic shops.
From the October 1st, 2014 post “Why bother with a magic shop?” written by Evelyn Matlin wrote at the Perfect Magic blog:
It’s so easy to look up what you want on line, find the cheapest price and order. I can’t say that I blame anyone for doing that. But there may be a cost to the saving of money, especially in magic.Click through to read Evelyn's thoughts on the matter.
Over the past ten years roughly 85% of all brick and mortar magic shops in the world have closed.
We need to think about how we can support the two remaining brick and mortar shops in Canada, Browser's Den of Magic & Clownin’ Around.
