Take care of the customer. That&#8217;s right, customer service. Something that is rare in any retail business and particularly difficult in the magic business. Attempting to sell the customer magic that they will use, appreciate, and enjoy rather than something they will toss aside is no easy task. That task is made even more difficult by the fact that we cannot reveal the secret workings of the trick. Have you ever bought magic that was too difficult, not what you wanted, not as advertised, or you thought was a total rip off?\u00a0 Sure you have&#8230;and that is exactly what we want to avoid.<br \/>\nThat is why we enjoy talking directly to our customers,\u00a0 helping them, answering their questions, to make certain that they are getting what they bargained for. If you ever have a question about anything on this website, please give us a call. Our pledge to you,<\/p>\n<p>THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE BUSINESS.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20070320180341im_\/http:\/\/funtymemagic.com\/images\/bunnyjon2.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>Ed Williams<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">A look back at Funtyme Magic Shop Funtyme Magic was established in 1996 in a very small store front about the size of a large closet.\u00a0 Within 3 months the business had out grown the cramped quarters and the store moved to larger quarters.
