House of Magic - went there recently, it's a great little shop - Steve's a really friendly and helpful guy. It's a shame it was closed - when I went it was on a Friday too, and they were open; they should be open from 10am on a Friday, but sometimes unexpected things happen in life so perhaps they had to shut suddenly. If you're travelling from a distance it's often best to email or phone them before you go and make sure they'll be open.

It's a great little place. I'm always gutted whenever magic shops are closed and I've travelled a distance to get there. Hopefully next time you go they'll be open.

It's the big brown wooden door at the front. Try to turn the door handle before you push :lol:

It's an old fashioned door - non automatic :wink: :lol:

Steady on a bit - the poor guy (Steve) may begin to think that he's being stalked with us all checking out his comings and goings :lol: :lol: :lol:

i got there today at 3.50 (bearing in mind he closes at 4.00), i got in and he was almost ready to go, i said leaving early today?, he then replied take your time

goes to show how much of a good guy he is, i got out of the shop for about 4.30. he was totally fine with that, he shown me the NFW before i actually brought it, 8)

hey what actually does NFW stand for? :?

Officially it is "No Feasible Way" realistically of course it is supposed to be something slightly different.
