PETER MONTICUP AND
MAGICIAN FRIEND BOB CONNORS Peter Monticup, the owner of Magic Tricks, Inc., has been selling magic supplies to magicians for over 35 years. As owner of The House of Magic, MCM Magic and The Old Curiosity Shop in New York State, and Magic Tricks in Virginia, Monticup built a large and successful mailorder magic supplies business. In 1996, he shifted his focus to the Internet, creating the online site MagicTricks.com, now one of the largest magic suppliers in the world. (Please note: the walk-in magic shops have been closed. MagicTricks.com is an online-only business now.) |

|
All of the magic tricks we sell come with
instructions. |
| The magic tricks are packaged with complete instructions. The easier tricks may even have illustrated instructions. Level 1 and Level 2 tricks are fully explained and easy to do. Some of the more difficult tricks (some level 3 tricks, and all level 4 tricks) require skills that are not explained in the instructions, such as the ability to palm a card, or do a "double lift". Instructions for these special skills are available in books or DVDs that we carry. Please ask. |
|
We carry magic effects from many different
manufacturers. |
| There are only a few large suppliers of magic tricks. Most effects are handmade or made in very small quantities by individual magic makers. Therefore, the availability of tricks can vary, and we have to depend on the suppliers. Sometimes the tricks are easy to order from our suppliers and keep in stock, other times the suppliers are backlogged. Though we try our best to have every trick in stock for immediate shipment, sometimes when we place our regular orders for tricks from our suppliers, the suppliers are backordered and delay shipping to us, causing us to be temporarily out of stock on an item. We receive new shipments daily from our suppliers. |
|
We do not carry
certain items. |
| You'll notice that we do not carry any pyrotechnics or flash paper. We also do not carry gambling devices (loaded dice, marked decks). We do not carry what are, in our opinion, low-end magic tricks (the real cheapies), poorly-made effects, tricks that are too difficult or complicated to perform correctly, tricks that break too easily or tricks that are just plain not entertaining. We also do not carry commercial magic sets because we found that the tricks in them were not a good value. We prefer to offer our own "magic sets"- selected groups of tricks that are easy to do, entertaining and provide a good value to you. |

|
On returns and exchanges: |
| Like all magic shops, we cannot accept returns or exchanges on any magic prop, trick, book, or other item. We sell secrets. Once the item is in your hands, it's impossible to return the secret! We ask that you please read all instructions carefully BEFORE you try to operate the trick, to avoid mishandling it and breaking it. We do, of course, replace items that arrived in defective condition with another of the same item. Returns of damaged items must be approved- please call or contact us before sending any item back to us. Please see our Returns Policy. |
|
On shipping charges: |
| We prefer to ship via U.S. Priority Mail, with an order tracking number. FedEx delivery is also available; please contact us for cost information. Please check our shipping cost page for more details. |

Monticup Is
Magic! |
|
 |
Peter Monticup began his career in magic at the age of seven, when he became an apprentice to Professor Henry Bessette, part of the Miracle Team. By age seventeen, he had developed a full stage show, and was the featured act at a number of magic conventions. A few years later, he purchased the House of Magic in upstate New York, starting his long and successful career in supplying quality tricks and props to professional magicians and magic hobbyists. For the past 47 years, he has continued to perform as well as develop his well-known magic business. Monticup is also a noted collector of magic memorabilia (some of which can be seen in the Library of Magic section of this site). He discovered the DeLaMano material in 1986 in an old trunk hidden in a barn. |
