I know that the Houdin home and museum are in Blois, but does anyone know of any other magic museums in France, Belgium or the Netherlands by any chance (and U.K. apart from Magic Circle),

Thans,

This is a bit late and probably not of much interest but I went to a great Magic Museum just over 12 months ago in North Eastern Spain, village of Sta.Christina. It's the family home of a guy called Xevi, pronounced 'shavie' and its an old Catalan house chock full of magic, automatons, gadgets, gaffs and gizmos, the website reference is http://www.xevi-ilusionista.com which is all in Catalan/Spanish, of course. The reason it's just come to mind is that Xevi is celebrating 50 years in magic this year and I've been asked to add my name and congratulations to his celebration book. Probably me and 5 million others but it was nice of them to ask!

If anyone is in the area (and bear in mind that the once the tour starts, there are no late admissions) it's well worth the €5 or so entrance fee. There's a post from last year with more info somewhere on TM as well.

Mandrake,

Thank you for this - Spain is on next year's agenda so have added it to itinerary now (that way wife won't suspect )/

Thanks,

Vic

Ole!!! (As we say here in Brum) The city of Girona and the Dali Museums etc are close at hand so it can be fun for all - while you nip to see Xevi!

There's one in Rue Saint Paul (Saint Paul Street) in Paris - i was going to visit, when i went, but didn't in the end.
Oh well, i guess i'll just have to go back!!

A fascinating link - thank you, or should I say Merci? (So the TM Jolly Boys outing to Torquay will now also be visiting Paris on the way)

Jing,

Thank you - am visiting Paris this summer and guess where we will be going?

Glad to have helped!!

When you get back - Could you put a review up please??!! Thank you.!!

I most certainly will post a review of the place. Pity I couldn't make Blois this year, but that's life!

Thanks again,

Vic
