About Us

Created by a former performing magician turned collector, the founder discovered rather quickly that many effects were avilable, albeit without the instructions. As the owner of several vintage effects by Thayer, Okito, Milson-Worth and others, it became a mission, if you will, to pair the collectibles with the proper instructions.

As such, one complete filing cabinet was filled with instructions to the items owned along with items never even considered. Thus, MagicCollector was born, in part to recoup some of the funds that was spent along the way, for literally, piles & piles of instructions. 

In the ensuing Easter Egg hunt during the perusing of the boxes of instructions received, several complete blueprints of quality parlor tricks were also discovered. As such, the 'Workshop Plans' category was added to the menu.

MagiCollector is a serious task. Meaning, there is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes, to make certain our customers receive the complete item(s) they order and that it's totally readable. At the same time, it's a labor of love as magic has been good to all who work this site, for over five decades. 

We hope you will join in promoting us to the magic community, as do not advertise to the general public. We aim to serve the magician/collector who knows what they need and seek our assistance in locating it.
