Quote from Mike Long on July 7, 2024, 12:51 pmMagic stores are vanishing, might this be a repository of memories, photos and stories? You youngsters did miss out.
Carol's Magic in Romney, WV 1960's
Upstairs Strip Mall Magic Store in Greenville, SC 1970's (So Sorry I don't remember name, kind man)
LaRock's in Charlotte, NC 1980's
The Biltmore Magic Co. Asheville, NC 1990's
There was a magic store at the Peachtree in Atlanta in the 90's that looked like a library. Very discrete. Don't remember name!
I hope you get my point.
Cheers and looking forward!

I lived in Greenville in the 70s (I was 10) and recall driving by that store but my folks would never take me in there.
Was that Jerry Mentzer's store? I dunno.>LaRock's in Charlotte, NC 1980's
LaRock's was the first magic shop I ever worked in... fall of 1987 if memory serves correct. I had just wrapped up a season at Carowinds and Larry hired me for the Halloween / Xmas season :)
