Stopped in on a whim after visiting Warp 9 Comics. My son-in-law has an interest in card tricks and I noticed this store as we were heading back to the car. Nice store with a lot of magic related items from books to kits to the tricks like hand buzzers. The gentleman working was a great help and spent time explaining some tricks and recommended some books. If you have even a cursory interest you should stop in. read more

Wunderground Magic Shop - Lotsa cards - Toy Stores Near Me - Clawson, Michigan

This magic shop is nothing less than awesome. It is everything that an emporium of tricks and illusions should be. The staff is great, both guys were very helpful and talented demonstrators of various tricks. I mentioned how familiar all the props seemed from when I used to visit a little magic shop in Ferndale in the 1970s owned by Romeg the Magician and then Poof! As if by magic they pointed to a photo behind the counter and told me that this store was in fact the second reincarnation of that very magical place from my childhood, transported to Clawson 40 years later. What an amazing coincidence that I should take my nephews to buy tricks at the same place that made me fall in love with prestidigitation all those years ago. I bet that some of the items lining the walls were actually the same props from all those years ago. If you love magic this is the place to go. read more

Very good staff that really know their profession. They are very helpful in suggestions, too. Mr. George Tait is amazing (and is a published author!). read more

Awesome spot. The guy there showed me every trick before selling them to me, which made me confident that I was getting something that will wow. He showed me a trick where he split a $2 bill into two $1 bills that blew my mind. I bought it and everyone I show this trick to can't believe their eyes. I love having somewhere to see the tricks in person rather than relying 100% on the internet. read more

These guys are about as helpful as helpful gets. Josh went out of his way to help me get a hard-to-find item on an insane timeline. Thank you so much! read more

This is a fun shop to browse around for hours. The staff are friendly and happy to demonstrate anything they have...on hand and opened to demonstrate to children or whomever. There is an endless supply of magic props, videos and whatever you could possibly want for some magic tricks. The staff was happy to demo all tricks after I purchased the kids for my nephew. My nephew loves this place, he's in complete awe and happy surprise every time we go here. He loves to visit Wunderground anytime he's in town from Kzoo, it's a must every visit. read more

This place is neat! I'm happy to live in such close proximity to a store that carries rubber chickens, fake mice, fake cockroaches, itching powder, whoopie cushions and all that good shit! I am quite the prankster, and love to cause a little trouble every now and again. For instance, placing a fake cockroach on a co-worker's mouse pad elicited a terrified shriek which could be heard from here to Timbuktu....or a fake ice cube containing a fake fly in someone's drink...gets 'em everytime! Haha! So much fun! This store has all that "small-time" prankster stuff (which is what I like) and also carries magic stuff for people that take themselves and magic a bit more seriously; if you fancy yourself a magician, check it out! Also, the guys that work there are cool (and cute!)...on any given day, they're demonstrating a magic trick, which is delightful, no? Yes! The moral of the story: help keep this place in business and buy some fake poop or vomit to delight and surprise your friends! Or quit your day job (if you have one, haha) and become a magician! read more

Funny enough, a friend in California found out about this store online and checked out reviews for us when she heard my little is into magic. Thanks to her, we made it there today and my little magician was utterly blown away by the stuff he saw in the store. This store has all the tricks and magic things he's been coveting for a while. It's one thing to see it on a website and another thing entirely to see it all up close. Most fittingly, the gracious gentleman behind the counter with the cool tattoos and awesome mustache made my kid's day when he demonstrated some of the magic tricks. My kiddo gasped in delight and was chatting about his favorite magician and tricks in no time. The shop is about an hour away from us but we plan to go back again this summer! read more

This magic shop has a lot of magic & juggling product in stock. It is one of the best stocked magic, as well as juggling shops in the area. You could spend all day in there and still not see everything. A very unknown secret to many is they have a lot of used books go thru and if your in on the right time you may find a rare book/prop you have been looking for. There are a lot more secret about this place too, but I will let you find out about them on your own. read more

Wunderground is a fantastic place with something for everyone. Many local professional illusionists, jugglers and other entertainers frequent the store for their quality products and reasonable prices. For the casual passerby or amateur, the shop offers a unique and fun atmosphere, and the staff are always happy to demonstrate a variety of illusions. It's a great place to take a child for a bit of carefree and harmless fun, and is a highly respected staple within the entertainment industry for anyone looking for a bit more. It's worth a try, you won't be disappointed. Andrew Co-owner of Bacchanal Promotions. read more

Special thanks to George and Joshua for helping us get a hard to find item. Customer service is alive and well at Wunderground! A great place to visit for those special gifts for everyone from youngsters to seniors that will surely add some "magic" to the holidays and beyond. read more

This store is neat. Lots of new tricks and learning material. There are nice people running the store, they are very understanding. But do not take my review for it as its not really objective. read more

I am giving the Wunderground Magic Shop 5 stars for very good reasons. I am a magician, and this is the main place I go for my supplies. Yes I could go on line and find the same things. But I would not get the customer service I get at this store. They carry a huge magic selection both new and used. If you are a budding magician this is also the place to go, because when you shop there not only are the staff magicians in thier own right but most of the time you will find magician shopping who will gladly help with most questions. No they wont tell you the secrets but they will help. Anyway I travel over 30 miles to visit this shop because its the best around. So go a head give it a try. read more

This place is awesome! My son and I went there yesterday. The guy there pretty much gave us a hour and a half magic show. Showing us stuff that they had for sale that my son could do. Once we picked out what he wanted he showed us how he did the tricks! Even after seeing how these tricks were done it still was crazy to see him do them again. We would recommend this to everyone. We can't wait to go back! read more

This place is soooooo much fun! They have so many cool toys and the magicians there are incredible. We walked in while passing by and stayed for over an hour! We didn't think a magic shop would be that interesting but it was the best part of our day. We'll definitely go back to the Wonderground the next time we're in Clawson. Makes me want to learn some tricks! Bebe read more

FIVE STARS! I am not a magician but when I needed some simple entertaining tricks and illusions for my show I stopped by to see if there was anything simple enough for a novice to use and sure enough there was! The sales staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He showed us how to work everything we bought. I have been back a few times now to purchase fun things for my workplace and every time I have been very pleased with my purchases. Super fun place to shop!!! read more

They have the best selection of magic and magicians in the area. They also teach classes, sell juggling stuff, and have puzzles.

Wunderground has all the most recent magic effects, magazines, DVDs and books ... and a great group of demonstrators (some are professionals) very willing to help fellow magicians learn the tricks of the trade! johno read more

Great local business with terrific staff. We had a magic class for a group of kids with Doc and they all raved about it! They have adult classes as well, stop by and be amazed, we were! read more

A real magic shop! On the shelves are everything you need from beginners magic to advanced stuff the pros use. And they run lessons for beginners! The staff are very friendly and very talented magicians. read more

Now this place is truly magical (no pun intended). The owner is such a great guy that he showed myself and my girlfriend the building that used to be used to hide alcohol back in the days, and then showed us magic for a while. We spent about the 3 hours there the first time I went to it, and now I make it a thing to go to the shop everytime I'm in detroit (I live in Philadelphia). I've been a magician for over ten years, and I got to tell you, this place has everything that a beginner would need to what a pro would need. If you love magic or simply are curious or want to surprise and impress your friends, then guess what? You must visit this store! Remember, it's not the magic trick, it's the magician, and this guys make you feel like you belong. read more

There are magic shops and then there is WUNDERGROUND. I can truthfully say WUNDERGROUND is one of my favorite places on the planet.The soul of Wunderground is the owner,Paul and his merry band of magicians. If I ever want to revisit the joy and childlike wunder of my childhood I head straight for Wunderground and I live in Los Angeles! These folks are extremely knowledgable,kind and good hearted in the magical demonstrations of their varied tricks and obviously love entertaining and sharing their knowledge. This is the place to bring magic back into your life and the lives of your children. A pure joy. A gazillion stars for Wundergroup! read more

Wunderground is a gem! We've been shopping here for years, and I highly recommend a visit. We've had fantastic customer service, too. I'm looking forward to signing my son up for their Saturday magic classes. read more

In the late 70's and early 80's I spent my paper route money and much of my time at Romigs Magic in Ferndale. I have so many great memories. 30 years later Paul and his staff have helped to keep my memories alive and make new memories for young and old alike. Wunderground is a great place to learn a new trick, pick up some fake vomit or just be amazed by Paul or Doc. If they would let me I would move in. I believe they still have the old couch from Romigs in the basement. If you need magic supplies or want to be transported back to your youth (or at least my youth) stop by Wunderground. read more

A very complete magic shop, have everything for magicians, jugglers,and ventriloquists, have puzzles, gags. Also, have classes and can put you in contact with local clubs. Very helpful staff. Offer classes. read more

I am 12 years old and I purchased a puzzle today at the Wunderground. The owner was mean to my brothers. He yelled at one brother because he opened a snake in a peanut jar. It felt scary to be in there. There is a sign by the register which says don't forget your free wand. When my dad asked if I could have one, the owner said no because I was buying a puzzle and not a trick. I spent $21 on the puzzle and I still didn't get a wand. Don't go there if you have kids. read more

I discovered this shop as part of a haunted tour and have been going back ever since. This isn't the kiddie stuff. This is the real deal. Everything they have is magic and the people working there are real pros who help you choose what to get and teach you how to perform it. Now I do magic for my friends, and they always ask me to do a trick for them. Best way to meet people I know. read more

I've attempted to update my previous review to five stars many times - without success. The Wunderground, hands down, delivers. It is one of the best brick and mortar magic shops around. The fact that its still around speak volumes to its success. read more
