This is the best magic shop i have ever visited!! Mr.Steve and Mrs.Leora are such nice people. Mr.Steve was telling jokes and teaching tricks. The prices are amazing and the atmosphere is wonderful. Will definitely be coming back many many more times!!

First visit here the other day. Small but absolutely lovely. The owner and his wife are very kind and helpful. And there was selection everywhere. Fair priced, but a bit easy to miss on the street. Kinda tucked away in a corner but other than that Grand Illusions will be getting my business later on down the line.

I went here looking for some illusions for my son who has expressed an interest in magic. Steve is a very friendly and knowledgeable man. He took time to show several options and explain them. He offers classes that are very reasonably priced. This is a cool little independent shop.

I grew up going to this shop and have a lot of great memories here. I since moved out of state and havent been back for over 5 years. Today, I was back in town visiting friends in the area and knew that I also had to visit the magic shop! It was extra special because it was the first time my sons (7 and 9) got to visit. I loved watching the wonderment and excitement in their eyes looking through the cases and cases of tricks, and watching the master Steve himself perform the illusions. Steve helped us pick up some kid friendly tricks and we had a blast showing them to friends and family this evening; we even stumped grandpa! Quality illusions and great prices for a specialty shop. Cant wait to visit next time I am back in California.

This is a fantastic magic and costume shop. Truly a classic Sacramento spot. Family business thats been in this location for many years. I have several friends that rode their bikes to the shop when they were kids, and I love taking my boys here now-a-days as well. Youre guaranteed to learn something while you are here, but make sure to buy something. I have found the more you buy, the more you will learn. Its a magic shop, not a magic show, so lets make sure this family business stays in business for years to come. Theres really not many places like it.

This store is delightfuly filled with magic. The staff are happy to help and knowledgeable in more than ordinary ways. I have personally driven by this place way too many times for me to justify why I had never come here before today. I will visit this place in the, I havent even started to explore the costume side. Very cool place.

This place offers high quality magic items. They allow you to feel certain decks of cards before purchasing, and offer quite low prices. They will also demonstrate magic tricks to you. This store is the best in the area.

I only dabble occasionally in magic but this is the only place to go. They are always great with my kids. The kids are always super excited to go there. Id give them 10 stars if I could.

Grand Illusions is a hub of Magical activity and interaction in The Greater Sacramento area.They take personal interest in matching new Magicians to Magic that is ATTAINABLE & IMPRESSIVE.They offer quality Magic for Experienced Magicians and will really help pinpoint if an effect will suit your needs (short of giving away the secret).The Lecturers they bring to town are top notch and World Class.Steve, Leora and Don do all they can to support Magic in every way possible.They have a fine collection of costumes and costume accessories as well.They are open year round and dont just swoop in for fast money at Halloween.This means they know their make-ups and can really help you choose for your particular project with-out over-spending.If you want to help retailers who help their community, these are GOOD people!

This is THE place to go for anything related to costumes, juggling supplies, puppetry, theatrical supplies/makeup, and especially magic. Steve and the staff are super friendly, and make you feel like youre their only customer. Great place for the family to visit and enjoy some entertainment and fun.

The best place for aspiring magicians, hands down. The owners are very willing to help however they can, very friendly and fun. There are magic classes in weekends for every level of magician. If you or someone you know is interested in magic, Grand Illusions is a must.

Use to go there as a kid and spend hours at a time shopping, this was around the time Wayne released thread, I know its 10 years later but figured I stop by and say hello. The owners are amazing and left a lasting impression also they have real knowledge on magic and cardtistry etc not some typical magic shop that just sales lame gimmicks and gags.

I have made several purchases from Steve over the years. Ive had a custom fire staff made and most recently a custom leather dice bag made. I love coming into the shop and being treated like family. I highly recommend them for your magic, costume, fire prop and leather work needs!

I have been visiting and shopping at this family owned business for over two ecades. Im in the military and have vited dozens of magic stores in America and around the world. I have never seen anyplace that compares to the great service and fun you experience at Grand Illusions. Whether you are a beginner or a professional magician, this place has what you need to help you amaze anyone. Steve is a great magician and an awesome teacher of this art. I just called in an order last night, even though there are shops very close to me. I do not go to CA without visiting the shop and I dont order from any place other than Grand Illusions!! Thanks for serving and for sharing your knowledge and friendship Steve and family. Sean Rowsey

Ive been going to this shop since i was 12 and am now turning 32 and i can tell you from the bottom of my heart they truly care about making the customer happy and make you feel like a VIP everytime you walk in . i can remember when i was 13 and I messed up my hopping half set REALLY bad and steve spent about 2 hours fixing them and they turned out better than when they were brand new and i didnt get charged for the work he did on the coins (Steves the man). not to mention when the state quarters came out i couldnt borrow quarters for the cigarette thru quarter anymore so he exchanged my 2 year old cigarette thru quarter for a brand new cigarette thru half dollar (really cool) which he did not have to do, but thats the great guy steve is (also a fantastic magician, definitely a pro) and in fact im going to spend my Xmas money their today and will leave another review when i get back with my new goodies and i hope this long winded comment helps and to whoevers reading this have a magically awesome day. ✌😎👍🐇
