What a find! They had everything I needed for a costume party. The lady who helped with the wigs was so wonderful. She took the time to get me set up with the right wig. Thank you! read more

Zinc was super super helpful with piecing together my revolutionary soldier costume. He found me a unique hat that gives the costume some flair, as well as a delightful jabot. Thank you Zinc!! read more

V and CC at Abracadabra are awesome, truly the best! Please give them half of Jeff Bezos's money.

Zinc was excellent with his knowledge of history and costume availability. He quickly found us Wolfgang and Constance Mozart for our theme party. Great customer service. read more

This is the type of place you can only find in New York. A smorgasbord of costumes, makeup, horror props! Tons of masks, hats, headpieces (think cats, bunnies, demonesses). Tons of prosthetics and fake blood, dyes, wigs, etc. There is a special downstairs section where big time productions like SNL often rent costumes and props. They have entire sections of specialized apparel ranging from zombie to cop to dominatrix and BDSM. Steam punk, cowboys and country, retro 50s, 60s hippies, 70s. Anything you need for Halloween, plays/shows/productions, or events, you can find it here. Tons of people to help at every corner of the store, and all are attentive and kind. Also a lot of photo ops around the store, including a Heath Ledger joker, various Child's Play alum, Art the Clown, Michael Myers, and a ton of other huge animatronics and props. read more

THE one stop shopping Halloween experience in Flatiron. But you will pay for it as the prices are steep. Enter a huge bi-level space containing all kinds of costumes and accessories--for rental or purchase. Props of all sizes and masks from the most popular horror flicks. I love Halloween and this store is worth a drop in even for the fun of it. You can always sit on the bench and take a selfie with Art the Clown (from the Terrifier franchise movie). If you're looking for a costume to be anything you want to be on Halloween or some fun decorations, Abracadabra will certainly assist. read more

My husband and I decided to go to this one of a kind store and we're so happy we did! It's full of costumes, props, make-up/prosthetics, wigs, shoes, accessories, rentals and SO much more! I wanted to go in specifically for makeup, to create a zombie look for my friend. They carry only the best special effects makeup brands at reasonable prices, not like the garbage you find at Spirit Halloween. And the staff was incredibly knowledgeable! I was looking for latex free makeup because my friend is allergic and they went above and beyond to make sure it would be safe for her. I also ended up finding a cape in the cape section which sparked s an idea, so I got a little something for myself there too! The employees were all dressed up, and very much into the spirit and fun of the Halloween season! Five stars- will return again!! read more

So much to see! So many choices for dressing up in costumes! Decorations galore! It is a must place to visit if this is your thing. It is definitely mine! Bought a wig for Comic-Con in NYC. I dressed as Miss Frizzle from the magic school bus. They have awesome detailed costumes and accessories. Service was great and prices not bad. read more

I buy magic there whenever I'm working as a pro magician in Lower Manhattan. It's very spooky but once you get past the sentries, it's a great place to shop for more than just magic. Wigs, Masks, Make Up, and Wardrobe too. read more

Abracadabra NYC - Getting my supplies for my shows. - Costumes Near Me - New York, New York

Much, much more than a Halloween costume store! This massive store can help outfit you Burning Man as well! While there are definitely costumes for silly/fun things (like, an entire row of Santa costumes in June??! love it!), they have costume pieces that are more for your alter ego; that is, is you're going through a emo/Goth phase, there's stuff here for you; if want to go to festival and dress up for that, they've got some stuff; if you're into LARPing and looking for, say, a Victorian outfit, yep, stuff here for you. I think this is the most fun store I've seen in NYC if you're shopping to dress up for a theme party. Okay, well, except if the theme is just 'white party', which, I just don't see a lot of pure white clothes, lol. In terms of selection, for example, they have an entire wig *section*. There's also costume rentals available for their more elaborate pieces, which gives a lot of variety to play with if you've got the budget. There's an entire counter just for magic tricks. And so on. The staff is nice, attentive, and helpful, but not in that hovering, oppressive way. Bathrooms: Don't seem to be available for customers, though, I would think in an emergency, they'd be okay. read more

The workers were all very nice and helpful! The store has pretty much everything you could be looking for.

We had the most fun brainstorming ideas downstairs with Frankie - almost purchased and rented outfits for two different parties !

First time to NYC store is amazing . We are from Kalamazoo MI. And my son's birthday Trip was to come visit your store. Got the yellow bag and pictures. And a gift terrifier 2 blood toy. Oct the first friday.of Oct. And when on way home travel Greyhound stolen luggage. Everything gone. Sad. But store was amazing read more

The store was amazing, it had so many selections. The only problem was that all of their prices were insanely high. I had tried on a costume I liked and it was $85 in the store I went to Amazon the same exact costume/brand was on there for $30. It feels like they are price gouging, I say go for the inspiration but I wouldn't buy anything. read more

This has become my favorite costume/Halloween store in the city! The decorations are bigger, better, louder, more elaborate. I love turning my home into a veritable haunted house every year and this place makes me feel both inspired and overwhelmed with ideas. The costumes are high quality, stuff that will last you for many years. I ended up buying what I can only call a steampunk wedding dress from them years ago and it's more well made than the disposable fashion you'd find in H&M. Their top notch costumes are downstairs while the prepackaged costumes are on the ground floor. I really love their period pieces downstairs the most. Victorian, gothic, princess, fairy, pirate, wench - an entire wall of corsets. Every time I come I think to myself that I should just wear these clothes on the regular (costumed brunch anyone?). I've also purchased tails, stockings, gloves. They have a nice selection of wings, and a huge range of masks. And the wigs, my god the wigs. I tried on my first wig here. Then another. Then like 7, and the staff were as giddy as I was. They're convinced I'm going to start my own collection, I'm not quite there yet but I was surprised at how much fun I had playing around with different looks. As amazing as the store is, the staff absolutely make it even better. I felt like I was shopping with old friends, not only was everyone helpful but they seemed genuinely joyful to be working there. That's not an understatement. I came in with more of a concept than items I was looking for and they had so much fun helping me piece it together. Come in whether you need something or not, it's pure fun! read more

Great place ! The service , selection and value is perfect. Fast reliable shipping . I'm so glad, by accident found Abracadabra .Ty

There prices are insanely overpriced. You can buy straight from the Manufacturers and save hundreds to thousands of dollar.

Want an amazing local costume shop with great people to help and answer questions? Want to support local businesses? Need that obscure item For your costume? Whether it's Halloween , New Years, st Patrick's day, a theme party or whatever else, this shop will have it. An amazing place that has been here forever! read more

Fun cute costume shop with anything and everything you can think of: costumes, accessories, gag gifts, decorations, etc. You can even rent certain costumes that were located in their basement area. There were a lot of staff members walking around who were very friendly and quick to help if you had any questions. 4/5 A stop for all your costume needs or just a fun store to browse around if you're in the area :D read more

Worst shopping experience imaginable. I happened to see a dress that would work for my Halloween costume this year. I decided to purchase it last minute as the website stated there were currently 3 in stock and in-store pickup was available within 8 hours/"up to" 24 hours. The website states clearly that you are NOT to show up until you receive a text that your item is ready for pick up. I never received such a text. When it had officially been over 24 hours I attempted to call the store dozens of times and their PHONE IS SHUT OFF/DOESN'T WORK WHATSOEVER. I never even received an email confirmation for my purchase and yet the charge is still on my credit card. I have submitted a dispute on the charge with my credit card company and look forward to getting my money back and avoiding this place at all costs going forward. read more

The problem is that the picture of the costume showed costume components that were not included in the purchased item.

Okay, this place has the most INSANE Halloween costumes imaginable. Went to six different stores in Manhattan, nothing could tip this place. They have everything you can think of, from whole costumes to wigs, paints, masks, men's stilettos, and more. Big ticket items as well, such as a $3,000 set of black angel wings about 4 feet wide. read more

Great selection but with a price point to match. Adults have many options of costumes and accessories. From Angels and demons, cartoon heroes, to fairytale legends and many in between. If it is not popular you probably won't find it here. The selection decreases tremendously as you start looking for children costumes. And the smaller they are you are better off looking somewhere else. This store is so huge. I always lose someone when I come in here as we maneuver through the store. There are actually 2 entrances to make it easier to come and go once you make it through the store. Just be sure to come early to have a chance to find what you want before things sell out the week of Halloween. read more

I had a terrible retail experience here. I went with my girlfriend to buy Masquerade masks for a very important party. The guy behind the glass case with masks was so incredibly passive aggressive and rude, he had a beard and bald head. There were no other customers looking at masks except us. Granted, we were being picky, but all we were asking was to try on masks! His angry facial expression and obviously annoyed body language showed he despised us and thought we were a nuisance. It seemed like we were interrupting something important, though other than servicing us he was just chatting to someone and on his phone, so clearly he didn't have anything much better to do. Are we a burden for wanting you to do your job? Additionally, when we finally chose masks, he rushed to the register to get rid of us. Perhaps the most unfriendly retailer I've ever encountered, this employee created an utterly awful experience and I guarantee I will never come to this store again. The mask was also grossly overpriced. read more

What a cool & quirky costume shop! My friend was seeking a mask for a masquerade the following night so I met her here to find the perfect look. Upon entering, this wasn't your run of the mill costume shop full of racks of clothing, it was a nice mix of Halloween props and even Zoltar dispensing fortunes! I was approached by a nice worker asking if I needed help, then directed to the back to locate my friend on the hunt for the coolest mask. In the back, I also met a sweet tabby cat overseeing the wig section with a flamboyant drag queen! My friend found a dramatic black and gold mask for under $30, we both got our fortunes from Zoltar, and we were on our way. Pop in if you're in the area! read more

Let me just start out by saying that this review really goes to Jen Hebner and the fantastic design department at Abracadabra NYC. They are freaking AMAZING. If you need any alterations made to your costume or need a custom costume or looking for a rental, I would head straight to the basement floor of Abracadabra NYC. They are affordable, friendly and know what they're doing plus they offer costume services all year long. Carnival anyone? My story? I committed a rookie mistake and had my costume made by a well known online cosplayer on the other side of country. Now this costume was to be made specifically for my body from the top of my neck to the tip of my toe. I gave all of the measurements to her and... well, I think you can see where this is going. Thank GOD I asked for my costume to be completed and sent to me 2 weeks before the date of NY Comic Con. Lo and behold, it did not fit right. As in, it was literally choking me and I couldn't zip it up because there was no stretch in the fabric... at all. Now I don't know about you but a body suit design MUST have give. I almost had a melt down over it thinking there was no way it could be fixed within the next 2 weeks. Luckily fellow Yelper Benson Y. was in the vicinity of Abracadabra when I told him of my plight and he walked straight into this Flatiron store and explained my situation. Once he told me that they encouraged me to bring it in and that it sounds like it is salvageable, my spirits instantly lifted. The very next day I headed over there and for the next hour or so we went over design, alterations and what I wanted for my Viper costume. In the end I was more than confident in her abilities to fix the mess I put myself in. The best part was, I did not find her alterations to be expensive at all! They were completely reasonable and every alteration was listed out for pricing so I knew exactly what I was paying for. In terms of work she tucked a little here, put some spandex panels there, cut this, cut that yet it was still "my" baby if that makes sense. For my final fitting, I was in awe over how amazing it looked on me. The costume fit me perfectly to a T and I finally felt like the comic book villain I aimed to be. Have you seen my pictures from Comic Con? They totally speak for themselves. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/new-york-comic-con-new-york?select=dZBZlGNagfXFd7G95VfJKA#3u4v9HHymf0fWb1xd_qyIQ I will be coming back to her for future costume jobs, no doubt. She saved my costume and my sanity... THANK YOU SO MUCH JEN AND TEAM!!! read more

It has so much and what you might want or ever need you can find. You might even find something you wouldn't think you need.

when they say they will give u an item in 24 hours call u to come pick it up and it's not there and the replacement they offer u is a piece of crap this is the type of service here. u have one God damn holiday... one. cant do ur job for one day of the year give me a break worthless crap horrible service. expect to go in ordering one item and leaving with the crappy replacement version that ruins your day. thanks assholrs Update: replacement mask was so horrible I skipped the party. The eye hole doesn't even open at eye level. I will never shop here again I promise. Buyer beware incompetent staff with one holiday that cannot be professional or do their job. Bunch of losers read more

I Love this store! I make all of my costumes and this store always has the obscure little detail things I need. The staff is cool and very helpful too. I am so glad they survived the pandemic because that Halloween Adventure store in the village closed and I was sad. I was afraid that Abracadabra would close too. Thank goodness it didn't!!! I highly recommend this place!! read more

I purchased the new Brewing Witch on 10/10/21 via mail. I received it 10/13/21, which is great. Started to put it together and there is no UL Power Adaptor or Bone Necklace. When calling the store on 10/13/21 at 4:22pm EST I was told this is a new product for them and they did not check them as they came in, just shipped them out. Then I was told that before they can send me what I already paid for )$363.92) They were going to look into the other boxes to see if it a reoccurring problem. Great on the last part, but I still need power. I was told I would get a call back from a manager. As of today 10/14/21 1:17pm, no call back, called this morning, they took a message at 10:30am b/c the store opens at 11am, emailed thru the site, no response, sent a chat thru the site, no response, emailed all 4 email address on the site and still waiting for an answer. read more

Such a good store with a huge collections of doo-dads and high quality costuming. I needed good quality fangs and edible blood for a video project so this was exactly where I went. The staff were super helpful with helping me find fangs and mint flavored Ben Nye blood. read more

I made an attempt to buy a costume here , using the in-store pick up option . They confirmed my order took my money and never shipped it out . I made attempts to call the store they did not answer the one time they did answer they put me on hold and once I contacted the customer service rep via chat on their site was not helpful all she said was she didn't know when I can get my money back .(I never got my money back) . If I could leave 0 stars I could . read more
