About Todsky and his Shop

Hi, I’m Todd and I’m the owner of Todsky’s Online Magic Shop.
About 40 years ago when I first began my professional career as a magician, I took on the moniker The Amazing Todsky. Since then, I have had a successful career as a local magician in Montreal, Canada, and I really enjoy helping other magicians find their way in the world of magic. And that is why I created Todsky’s Magic Shop.
There are a few good reasons to become a loyal customer at Todsky’s:
1) You will receive excellent customer service from me.
In my 40+ years as a performing magician and consumer of all things magical, I know how important it is to find the right trick or book. For all my customers, I am more than happy to offer my professional advice, guidance and recommendations to you about all things magical.
2) A very wide and varied selection of magic.
Todsky’s Magic Shop not only carries the entire Murphy’s Magic line of products, we also carry Penguin Magic, Magic Makers, Beginners Magic, as well as thousands of Playing Cards. If there is something you are looking for and having trouble finding, I will search the ends of the Earth to find it for you (except Antarctica: too cold there!).
3) Mystery Gifts, Super Sales Events and $5 Shipping
We have regularly occurring mega-discounted sales, and many orders are eligible for a free Mystery Gift. And shipping is only $5* within Canada for all orders over $100.
*(Oversized items may incur additional shipping fees)

4) There is no 4. Please move on to 5…
5) Blame Canada!
Yes, blame Canada for having launched some of the world’s greatest magicians: Dai Vernon, Doug Henning, The Amazing Todsky? And blame me for having the greatest magic shop in Canada! My point is, Canada is a great country, so Buy Canada! Support your fellow Canadian Magic Vendor! And if you’re buying from outside Canada, Buy Canada! because we need your help to pay the heating bills up here where it gets really cold.
6) Todsky and his Family
Todsky’s wife Todderella and their two boys Todsky Junior and Todsky Junior Junior need your help to pay their bills and put the boys through school so that the boys can avoid becoming magic nerds like their daddy.
7) Price Matching
I purposefully buried this here, but if you do find a better price somewhere else for a comparable item, let me know and I’ll see what I can do for you…
Everything you wanted to know about shipping and inventory but were afraid to ask (because it's so tedious)...
I'd like to explain how our inventory and shipping work, so you'll better understand why orders sometimes take a longer time to get to you.
WE ARE LINKED UP (in real-time inventory) WITH WHOLESALER MURPHY'S MAGIC
This means that we carry every single product that wholesaler Murphy's Magic stocks, but we only keep a small portion of that stock on hand. So when you order from us, we will often have to bring in part (or all) of your order (along with several other orders) from Murphy's before we can ship it out to you. We have chosen to operate our store this way so that we can offer our customers a very broad selection of tricks, books and playing cards. Of course the down side is that it is usually a few days before we can ship orders out, and sometimes more than that if our packages from Murphy's are delayed.
OUR ON-HAND INVENTORY
At the same time, we do have a fair size inventory that is on hand and always ready to ship within 24 hours, and we are working on creating a dedicated collection of these items so that if you want a quick turnaround you can order just these and you should receive them fairly soon (depending on where you reside). We will keep you posted when this collection is up and running.
Speaking of residence, don't forget that we are now in BC, so shipments to Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces will take longer than they used to.
If you are in rush for a particular trick, the best thing to do is to let me know BEFORE you order it and I will let you know what the best options there are to expedite it so that it gets to you toot sweet! (A little French word-play there).
CANADA POST STRIKE
Of course we are now going back to shipping with UPS and Purolator because Canada Post is on strike. Hope they resolve this sooner rather than later!
