Editorial Review for Hocus Pocus Magic Shop – by Lauren McCutcheon

In Short
The narrow shop carries everything to fill a magician's bag of tricks: 50-cent sword-through-finger rings and the occasional rare tome of 19th-century witchcraft. Also for sale: Roxie Racoons, tarot and trick decks of cards, black capes, juggling balls, snakes in a peanut jar, traditional magic sets, classic rubber chickens. Halloween is the busiest time of year at Hocus Pocus--it will even stay open late. And for $5 to $15, you can get an entire outfit.

i love this magic shop, when i went in, i was welcomed, and shown cool magic tricks. I have purchased a couple of tricks there because of the great hospitality. The practical jokes are really funny too, from snakes in a pringle tube, smell sprayers,fake flood squirting knives, and even more. Although it was kind of messy, it really showed what a magician is thinking....Messed up out of place tihngs piled up. This is trulely a good magic shop to go to, i reccomend it.

Pros: great

Cons: great
