Amazing and very friendly magical space. And beyond the fabulous and unique museum pieces found there, it is full of surprises, where magic, wonder and cordiality are in constant balance. Five stars

Originally came in to check out the museum and was greeted with an incredibly friendly atmosphere. Nick was fantastic and clearly passionate about his craft and teaching anyone who wants to learn.

I visited Fantasma Magic late January. From the moment I walked through the door I was welcomed with smiles and enthusiasm. John wowed me and my friend with all kinds of tricks. Fantasma was a vast variety of magical items for sale and their magicians behind the counter are willing to take the time and help you learn the purchased trick/s. My friend and I cant wait to go back. More...

Took my son here over the weekend to get some guidance on how to start him with learning magic. First of all, the shop is also a little museum honoring Houdini, so it was interesting to read info & see artifacts. The people in the shop were awesome - from Nick who works there to others who were simply hanging out practicing - all were very welcoming, attentive & informative. Since my son is just starting out, it was great for him to see others in action & have them doing tricks for him and encouraging him to learn. He got some cards to start with & my friend who practices magic & hangs out there taught him some things while we were there. He actually learned his 1st card trick! Overall, it was all a very positive experience & I do believe it helped peak his interest. He will definitely go back for some more hands-on learning and to be surrounded by positive people doing positive things :) More...

These guys know their stuff. I called today looking for a set of books for my dad and all I had to go on was “it’s about magic and I think there are seven of them.
” They instantly knew what I was talking about and quickly pointed me in the right direction. Bonus, their website had them for cheaper than Amazon.
They also have a bunny named Trixie, which is the cutest name for a rabbit at a magic store.

Wonderful but small card/magic shop + mini Houdini Museum! Super friendly staff demonstrate card tricks and will offer pointers for the novice shopper. Only drawback is how small it is, limits what’s available for the browser. Still, a business that totally adds to the richness of NYC. Go there. More...

When we went in, Nick and Brandon greeted us and were so nice and up beat. A bunch of magicians ended up coming in and we basically got a whole show. Everyone was so nice and Nick and Brandon made sure we had an amazing experience. More...

The place was a little difficult to find but definitively was worth the search. The shop is a gem to discover. They charge no admission fee and gave me a free tour upon request. I learned a lot about Houdini. to top it all off the staff behind the counter are Magicians. Great place to visit. Don't approach the counter unless you are prepared to have your mind blown. More...

Right when we walked in the worker, Nick, was extremely funny, engaging, and entertaining. Not only does it have a very wide selection of magic, but it also has a Houdini museum and lots of other amazing things inside.

An institution in the New York Magic scene. They have a great shop with magicians that will actually do tricks for you! The front of their store is actually the Houdini Museum and looks like something out of a movie!

A well stocked magic shop with a small Houdini museum inside. It's worth checking out whether you are or aren't a magician.

First time going to this store. It was a little hard to find at first, you have to go in the sports plaza building and take the elevator up to the third floor. Absolutely wonderful and informative staff, very personable and friendly. Best magic shop I've ever been in and I will definitely revisit even though I live 3 hours away. More...

Fantasma is a Magic shop and Houdini museum. Good place to go for magic supplies and new tricks. Some times they sell out of items due to how busy they are, but that doesn't take away from the magic shop visit experience (live demos).

Great little find. We had three kids 8, 12, 15. They all enjoy magic. Got entertained by the person behind the counter. Neat little shop with lots of houdini memorabilia and items in all price ranges.
Entrance is on the cross street a couple doors in.

Nick was awesome and did a special presentation for my son and his friends after hours today since the store had a private party in the afternoon. He went out of his way to make sure they had fun and got to see some awesome tricks. It totally made the day! Thank you! More...

My emerging magician son LOVED visiting your store. Nick was very impressive not only with his engaging card tricks but he gave great attention to every person that walked in the door. My son's only purpose for wanting to visit NYC was to go to this store and our visits with Nick made the experience well worth the visit. More...

I come here once a month to see everyone and hang with other magicians. I live in New Paltz so it's always a treat to see the staff hang out and learn from them. Nick was the first person I met when I first went in. He is a great magician and a even greater person. It is a pleasure to know him. More...

The best place on Earth! Hidden away off 7th Ave is a magical oasis filled with fascinating magic memorabilia and most importantly,Nick Padilla, master magician and amazing person. Nick showed us an astounding array of tricks and then helped our son find the kits he needed to do his favorites. All the staff were amazing and it was like hanging out with exceptionally cool, exceptionally talented friends. We drove all the way from Woodstock NY and will definitely do it again and again. This place is not to be missed if you have a even passing interest in magic and cool human beings! Prices were remarkably good too. More...

Fantasma is about promoting the art of magic with integrity. No other venue in the world does what it does . From it's Houdini Museum, quality magic tricks you can't find anywhere to its magic library and more.
