Chicago Magic
You don't have to go all the way to Detroit for great magic shops. We have 2 right here in Chicago. If you don't mind coming into the city there's Magic, Inc. on north Lincoln, the wbsite is:
www.magicinc.net. It was originally owned by the late great Jay Marshal and had gone down some after his passing but is trying to make a come back. They had a great lecture there with Eugene Burger last month and Arthur trace will be there Dec 8. Next, and in my opinion the very best, is Midwest Magic out in Franklin Park. The website is:
www.midwestmagic.net. Much bigger showroom than Magic, Inc. and dude if they don't have it it's probably not available. Great lectures there as well and I've gotten to meet and know some of the best names in magic through them. Check 'em out, you can't go wrong.
