The Institute of Magic is an online magic shop that seeks to help budding artists learn about magic and magicians. The online magic shop features tricks, props, and magic supplies. The shop also has a “Downloads” category where magicians can download the latest videos and ebooks directly to their computer. This makes learning magic fun and easy.
