Houdini's Magic Shop: Tricky shopping for magic Speciality Shops Review

Some of you, not just children, may be tempted to buy stuff that does magic tricks in Houdini's Magic Shop which is located in several hotels in Las Vegas.

Just a general warning: You may be disappointed by what you are buying. I don't want to reveal any magic secrets here, but some very expensive stuff that the shop sells in closed packages may contain everyday cheap items that you can buy anywhere. It's a rip-off. But I'm not saying don't buy anything from the shop -- some of the items are truly fun for your children.

What to buy: For example, not to reveal the magic secret, but one magic package that does the flying magic card trick that sells for $20 ended up containing a piece of wax and a bundle of strings.

Directions: located in the hotel/casino shopping areas
