Toy Stores in Monterey, CA

“They don't just sell gag gifts here, they have a number of fascinating items that allow you to actually do magic! I got a svengali card deck (one of the best trick decks), dice bomb, wonder bubbles (turning a bubble into a glass ball), and a couple other smaller magic tricks the shop owner threw in for free (ie. cutting a rope in half, then turning it back into one piece). I honestly thought this was basically a kids toy store, but I really enjoyed the experience without kids. It wasn't just shopping, it was a whole magic show too. And not just one where I got to see amazing tricks, but where I was also taught all the secrets! Yup, if you buy it, the owner (Will Roberts) will show you how it's done, and let you video record it too. The entire staff was super friendly and helpful during my time here this past weekend, and I can truly say I got way more than I expected from my visit. By the way, they do special events here as well, making it an even cooler venue, the oldest magic shop in California (and supposedly haunted too!?!)”

“My little family comes here as often as we can and we love it !!! The owner is so nice and a complete sweetheart !! This is our favorite candy store in Monterey . She brings real Pokémon stuff from Japan and it’s just the best . Not to mention she has my favorite seaweed (the Pokémon kind) and you can’t find it anywhere else .”

“This was our first time coming here and they had a lot to choose from. We were there for comics and my daughter got 4 really good ones. The only reason it doesn’t get a 5 is it wasn’t very organized in the comic book area. Everything else was though.”
