Hey, i was just wandering where all of you store your magic as quite afew of you must have loads of tricks! At the minute i have a sort of coffee table in my room and I'm gaving to pile it all on the bottom shelf of that.
So, where do you store it all?

i have a magic drawer

Yup, the magic drawer is best...
Juste make sur nobody take a peek in there (can be achieved easily by trowing a few underwear in there !)

Hi delude,

I keep mine in here:

It is an old aluminium record box

Neat....
Good looking in fact and way more portable than a drawer... An old aluminum record box you say? I should check on them, thanks for the tip

It is an old aluminium record box

not neerly big enough

i have a display cabinet when not working and a table storage combo when working.

I use a medium-sized gym bag. Each trick is separated by a plastic sandwich bag. The PK stuff sticks together though. I usually sort through it for what I will carry for the day. Works for me so far.

DJ flight cases are ideal for what you want, look on ebay or take a look here :-

towards the bottom there are some cheaper cases with their dimensions listed.

I keep mine in a desk, and a bunch of cabinets

Same as leighton

a bunch of mini drawers that you buy for $5ish for a stack of 3. Found an MD case that holds card decks (about 10 of them) perfectly! For $1!

i was lucky enough to find these faked old looking chinese chests in a cheapo pound shop...green felt lined too with small symbols embossed on them they're baout 2 ft deep and a foot wide...so i got three, and i also use those little wooden card boxes too...ive got a mentalist one, a gimmick one and so on...its surprising how much you can cram into them...

i cant keep my zig zag and chair levitation in something like that tho

I keep it in one side of a large wooden dresser/cabinet. There are three shelves (roughly divided into cards, books/DVDs/videos, and 'things'). The key points are that (a) it's locked and (b) it has a glass door. My children can therefore tantalisingly glimpse half bits of all sorts of stuff that reveals nothing but hints at everything. I store it there in a conscious, arch way: deliberating creating this secret store of wonder and mystery that fascinates the kids.

Obviously, when I die they'll gain access (missing my funeral to set about doing so, I'd guess), and find that it's actually not so amazing. The real magic was all in their heads. I trust that this will teach them something about magic itself and, even if it doesn't, I don't care as I'll be dead and sticking them with the bill for my burial in any case.

You're a cruel man Sexton


I just keep mine randomly scattered around my room. Normally in jiffy bags (at the moment I'm looking at 3 of them...) and then decks of cards here tehre and everywhere.
Drives my dad nuts having my magic tricks everywhere... but thats life.

I might get one of those record cases though
