National Magic Shop
From Magicpedia, the free online encyclopedia for magicians by magicians.
National Magic Shop in Chicago was a magic supply store in downtown Chicago owned and operated by Jim Sherman from approximately 1926-1954[1]
In 1926, Sherman leased space for a gift shop in the arcade of the Palmer House hotel (119 S. State St.) and had a counter devoted to magic. The business at this counter grew to such an extent that Sherman moved into the third floor of the hotel where he opened a full magic shop.[2]. Demonstrators who worked at the shop included Victor Torsberg(M-U-M, November 1964, Vol. 54, No, 6, page 252) and his brother Charles Jr.[3]
