Why we don't do dropshipping | Your Magic Shop
Share
Anyone searching for a new hobby online or looking to order professional equipment today will inevitably encounter a phenomenon: dropshipping. Many online retailers operate pure "ghost shops." They don't own a single product themselves, don't store anything, and simply automatically forward orders to wholesalers overseas. The result? Weeks of delivery times, inadequate support, and often cheap copies instead of original goods.
As an owner-managed magic shop in Austria, we consciously decided against this model from the outset. If you want to buy magic tricks from us, you should know what you're getting. We focus on proximity, honest quality, and transparency.
Our Promise: Approximately 70% of Products Directly in Stock
We don't want to be an anonymous intermediary platform. That's why we operate our own physical warehouse here on site.
Speed You Can Feel
Currently, we have about 70% of our entire range directly in stock. What does this mean for you? If you're looking for a new deck of Bicycle cards or an exciting gimmick for your next show, the goods leave our premises lightning-fast after your order. No weeks of waiting for container ships – your package will be with you in the shortest possible time.
Quality Over Quantity: Why We Grow Sustainably
We're honest: We are (still) a smaller, specialized retailer. That's why we don't have every item in hundreds of pallet loads in stock. And that's a good thing! Every product that goes onto our shelves has been thoroughly scrutinized by us beforehand. We only stock what we, as performers, are absolutely convinced of ourselves.
How We Handle Exclusive and Expensive Products
In the world of magic, there are high-end gimmicks, rare collector decks from Theory11, or noble props for mentalism that are in the three-figure euro range.
Order on Request – Delivered Lightning-Fast
Since we operate economically and sustainably, we don't have extremely expensive luxury props lying around in large quantities on spec. Instead, we order these exclusive products directly on request for you.
However, thanks to our excellent contacts with international wholesalers and manufacturers, this doesn't put you at a disadvantage: These special items are usually available within just 2 to 3 days and ready for shipment to you. So you get absolute premium quality without long waiting times.
The Difference: Why Personal Advice Is Irreplaceable
Dropshipping retailers usually only know their products from product images. If you have a question about a grip or a routine there, you'll get an automated boilerplate response.
By Magicians for Magicians
We test the tricks from our shop ourselves. When you call us or send an email, you'll reach someone who knows how a double lift works and why the feel of a particular deck is crucial for card magic. We advise you at eye level – whether you're just starting to become a magician or have been on stage for years.
Guaranteed Original Goods
The market is flooded with cheap counterfeits of well-known magic effects. Since we work directly with official distributors, we guarantee you 100% original goods. You support the inventors and creative minds behind the tricks and receive the quality you need for a successful performance.
Your Trust Is Our Motivation
It's important to us that you feel comfortable and secure when shopping. No hidden dropshipping, no nasty customs surprises, but an honest, local magic shop in Austria. We stand by our size because it allows us to be flexible, personal, and uncompromisingly quality-conscious for you. Thank you for accompanying us on this magical journey!
