Magic trick market information

Postby Hade » Mar 23rd, '07, 18:59



For one of my final e-business degree assignments I need market analysis information for the UK.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Specifically on the market size, gross magic trick sales, etc. etc.
I've got 4 days left to get this in, I've left it a bit late!

Thanks for ANY help!!!

Looks like I'm nackered then.
I'm sure I've at least seen some magic magazine circulation info somewhere!

Don't know what I'm going to do for that section of my assignment now. Damn it.

Thanks anyway!

Why not speak to your dealers?


As a businessman, you should respect that other magic dealers won't be obliged to share this information with you. In the circumstance, it's a rather unprofessional question.

Yes you're probably right.
I don't know what to do now, I'll try my dealers but they are US based and my assignment is based on a UK project.

I also appreciate that as I run a magic shop, competitors aren't likely to help.
I'll just keep googling then! Wish I'd picked something else for my assignment, but my lecturer supported this idea, despite agreeing that market information on such a niche market isn't easy to get!
Thanks,
Hayden

Nobody is to know if you falsify the figures—it's only an assignment!

Dropping a line to your magic suppliers SURELY will yield a result?

Even if you ask them to quote ballpark figures?
