So, mission accomplished, and 5 stars from us. Thanks, Scott!

I'd highly recommend for any occasion.

They represent what I feel about Lombard: energetic, multi-talented, and best of all hardworking and creative in so many ways! During our fundraisers (Book Sale and Film Festival) I have taken our brochures to promote the event (we do all the work and as a NP, we give the money away to girls who graduate from local high schools and going on to C.O.D.) During my rounds, the stops that I make find the shop's merchants open to posting and very friendly about it! Along the way, because my grandson (10) is a budding magician, I always stop at the very fun and exotic Magic Shop. The person who is always there is magical himself. He shows the magic to me in the range of what my grandson might like. This week, I finally managed to get my grandson to this magial paradise on his way to his piano lesson there in Lombard!! He was literally spellbound and I had already told him about the fortune teller (for only a quarter) that was there which he had to try right away!! After that, the magical person patiently waited while my never-quick-to-make any decision, selected one and true to form the magical person performed this trick for us and then, in a truly magical moment, just gave it to my grandson. He was so excited that he had to work it on his beguiled grandmother and then his piano teacher was his next willing victim. This magical shop in Lombard and the magical man who helps who are a true treasure! Marilyn Mauritz

In addition to the magic items (including a mini-museum / meeting room in back, featuring beautiful restored magic show posters in multiple languages), there are plenty of items here for those with a Goth, witchy or rockhound bent. I'm not big on animal skeletons or skulls (though if you want a stuffed plush kangaroo with a real skull popping out of the face, he's got it), but I do like rocks and he's got some lovely ones - small to medium affordable spheres in various minerals, including some nice chakra sets; little carved animals; hearts, worry stones, marble-sized pendants, etc. He's also got a nice selection of runestone sets and tarot cards, plus a selection of Ouija boards and some little blue evil eye bracelets. The owner is personable and is happy to talk about his stock; I can see how he'd be great with crowds when he puts on his magician hat. The medical oddities were interesting (old patent medicine bottles; sets of what I assume were fake teeth?, x-rays). And if I ever need to buy a tranparent skull filled with what appear to be pickled embryonic rats, I know where to go.

To Mr Bob : My kids are still talking about your show, the other day they were having a discussion on how Mr Bob was so nice in letting them help you with a Magic trick.

After searching and searching I found Mr. Bob to entertain my son's 2nd birthday. He called me to…read moretalk about the day about two weeks before, then a day before, and showed up on time with all of his tricks the day of. He kept all of the kids entertained for about 45-50 mins with all of his magic and comedy. I had boys and girls that spanned 1 1/2 yrs to 11 and everyone over the age of four told me how awesome the magic show was and it was the best birthday party ever. His website states that his show is better received by kids ages 3 and up, and although that did prove to be true, the four 2 year olds I had there were still mesmerized by him for a good 15-20 mins. The adults also enjoyed the show. I highly recommend Mr. Bob for any birthday party entertainment. He was personable, prompt, incredibly nice and worth every penny.

We even had staff at the restaurant coming in the room to watch! His fees are more than reasonable and each kid attending got to learn a trick and get a prop and the twins got their own magic kit (which he produced himself!) I would not hesitate to hire him for any party or group - if he's free, we will probably book him for a school assembly next year!

Then there was the performance -- it was perfect for the kids and adults. He engaged the kids and kept their attention, but also did some tricks that absolutely confounded the adults. (Still no idea how he did the trick with the cards and phone calculator.) Lastly, his delivery was really enjoyable -- it was self-deprecating and a little "meta," as he explained his tricks as he went along (but still performed them perfectly). There was one trick that seemed to go a little sideways, but he played it off so well that I'm still not sure whether he intended to do it that way or not. Overall, it added to the enjoyment of the day. All in all: would totally recommend for your next get-together, block party, etc.
