Presto Magic is the last of the
"old time" magic shops, with stuff piled floor to ceiling and wall to
wall. Each box is labeled with its own hand-made sign.
Hundreds and hundreds of signs.
Walking into Presto Magic is like
walking into a magic shop on Diagon Alley from the Harry Potter films.
While the exact last day has not been
determined as of today, the decision to close has been made. If you want to
experience something special or just want to say goodbye, now is the time to
visit Presto Magic.

Thanks John This is a difficult time. Presto is trying to negotiate a 90 day extension. But so far no word.

Another era and in another time. Presto's shop had an air of a time when I was a child and visited my local magic shop (and parted with most of my allowance) the smell of old books and the sound of laughter if others were there. Greeted like an old friend presto never forgot that the real magic was in brining people together and believing in infinite possibilities. Fair well dear friend, you'll be dearly missed.
