Anybody been to.....

.... Mike Danatas Magic Studion in Bournemouth recently?

I am in Bournemouth this weekend and as I have so few opportunities to visit a shop would like to have a look at this one. I really need to know if anyone knows if it is still at the address on Bananfish's site and if it is worth a visit.

Mrs Wizz does not take kindly to having her time wasted with wild goose chases!

Hi Johnny

I'm a regular visitor there and it's a REAL ALADDIN'S CAVE!.

Mike is a nice guy and will be happy to answer most questions that you may have. However, be aware that Saturday morning is Mike's busiest time and he closes at 1 o'clock.

Head Down Palmerston Road in Boscombe (behind the bus station) and it's next door to the launderette.

Well worth a visit and one of the best stocked magic shops that you'll find these days.

Thanks Dat, I would have messed up over the 1.00pm close. I will let you know how I get on. Will have to think of a way to persuade Mrs Wizz to shop somewhere while I am in there!!

I don't understand. Persuade a woman to shop?

If you park in the car park at the side / back of the bus station then she can walk through onto the high street (2 minutes) while you walk down to Mikes (about 5 minutes).

Hope that you've got a credit / debit card each :lol:

Firstly Tomo let me clear up a little misunderstanding. My meaning was to persuade her not to follow me in to the magic shop, not to persuade her to shop. As you so rightly intimate shopping is an instinctive genetic tendency for my wife. Its something their mothers hand down to them.

For Dat, the same reasoning applies, I don't wnat anyone watching over me when I get the credit card out. The shout of "how much?" that the present Mrs Wizz can summon when the till rings up is unnerving!

Thanks again for the directions etc, I am looking forward to tomorrow morning!
