Barry's Magic Shop Newsletter
About our big move:
We are moving to 5544 Nicholson Lane, Rockville, MD 20852 and our last day at the Wheaton location will be Saturday, June 2. Our new store is above the Spa East (no elevator) and near an Exxon gas station, Jerry's Sub, Theatre Vision and across the street from the old Eatzis'. We are practically at the intersection of Rockville Pike and Nicholson Lane. We have to do construction and hope to reopen sometime in the middle of July.
After we move our merchandise, we will have a fire sale in the old shop on a Saturday or a Sunday in June and try to sell off everything we do not bring to the new store at practically give-away prices. We will notify everyone when we are ready. This is a huge and back-breaking move (whew!). We've never moved before so we cannot tell you the exact date for anything yet. Plus, there are always delays during construction.
Our new store is 4,000 square feet and just beautiful. We are having a small theater seating 40 people. In September we are planning on hosting Magic Idol, similar to American Idol. The grand prize will be a $250.00 gift certificate from Barry's Magic Shop, a trophy and your photo will be displayed at the magic shop. The winner is selected by audience votes.
Think about being a contestant. You can perform close up or stage magic. We're probably going to have two series; one for children and one for adults and it will probably be held on Saturday evenings. The audience ticket price will be $10 and you will be able to buy seat tickets on line.
In addition to Magic Idol, we will hold monthly lectures and magic classes. We'll notify you with more details when we have them all figured out. We are totally excited about our new location when we open and we hope you visit us.
Stop by our present location (Georgia Avenue, Wheaton, MD) to see the magic shop of 33 years for the last and final time.
We do want to thank everyone who wrote letters in our behalf. If it wasn't for all of your support, we would not be here today.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Susie, Frankie the Wonder Dog and Barry
