The magicians, princesses and super heroes in residence at the ABC Magic Shop in Mount Clemens are moving into a bigger home and building on a reputation of entertaining and enchanting children -- and adults -- across metro Detroit.
ABC Magic Shop's new store at 69 N. Walnut Street is twice the size of the old one, giving it more space to cater to the metro Detroit magic community with its larger collection of magic supplies that make it "one of the largest in the Midwest," says Dave Schneider, who co-owns the business with wife Terri. ABC Magic Shop hosts a magic convention each year.
The retailer also rents costumed characters, moonwalks and other activities and entertainment for family parties and corporate events. It stocks science toys, gag gifts, puppets and other fun stuff.
On Aug. 10 the Schneiders and staff magicians Marc Arthur, Ryan Nemeth, and Charlie Laube, who also hold other jobs for the business, will host a grand opening party with "tons of free events all afternoon," Schneider says.
The party is one time, but ABC's usual magic classes -- one at noon for beginners and one at 3 for advanced magicians, will continue every Saturday.
