Best London shop and online shop

Postby Alfred Borden » Jul 26th, '11, 19:56



Hi guys

Am just started to get back into magic after years away so have ordered a stack of books from Amazon and spent some cash at Davenports the other day, gaff decks, TT and some DVD's that look quite complex

Am going into London again tomorrow and was wondering what people prefer? International magic at Clerkenwell rd, Davenports OR Magic cave at Covent Garden?

Also, do people find stuff cheaper online? And what are people's fav online stores? The next thing I want is the Unique coin. Guy showed me a nice 20p/1p version in Davenports for £35, but saw on Alakazam online shop saw the same (£1/1p version) for £25

Please advise

Thanks in advance

Are you watching closely? Then I'll begin...

The Davenports is most likely an Eddie Gibson one, which are generally seen to be the best in the world ... however, I know Alakazam do a MUCH wider variety, including a £2 and 50p version :O

International also have a very wide selection, I bought my £2/50P from there (that was £35).

We only stock the Eddie Gibson £1-1p version, we dabbled elsewhere and with different formats and decided that in our opinion, the Gibson £1-1p coin unique is by far the best.
