A magic shop built for independent creators
Trick District brings the work of independent magic makers together in one place: the convenience of a big magic shop, and a more direct connection between you and the person who made the trick.
THE COMPANY
Run by Fedora Magic Co.
Fedora Magic Co. is the company behind Trick District. It was founded by Joshua Kaufmann, a lifelong magician who has been performing since childhood. Originally from Michigan, Joshua was inspired early on by his father, who was also a magician. That early influence, especially a love for classic props and traditional effects, still shapes the company today.
Joshua’s own work centers on close-up magic, card work, and touches of mentalism. He has a particular interest in recreating and modernizing classic effects, adapting traditional props and methods for contemporary performers and everyday use.
He now lives just outside Beijing, China, with his wife and their two children. Through Fedora Magic Co. he designs and publishes magic for working performers, with his work distributed internationally through established magic wholesalers and retailers. He has collaborated with Bacon Magic and N2G Magic.
WHY TRICK DISTRICT
Big-shop convenience, without losing the maker
Buying magic usually means choosing between two things. A large retailer gives you one catalog, one checkout, and the confidence that the order will arrive. Buying directly from a creator gives you the person behind the trick, but asks you to find them, order from them, and hope the shop side works. Trick District is an attempt to stop making you choose.
For buyers
- One place to look
Browse independent creators in a single catalog instead of hunting through a dozen small storefronts. - The usual convenience
One cart, one checkout, and shipping that works the way you already expect. - A direct line
The goal is a shorter path from the maker’s bench to your case.
For creators
- A shelf of your own
Sell inside a shop that already has an audience, without building a storefront from scratch. - Closer to your customers
Reach the performers who will actually use your work, with fewer layers in between. - A better share
The point is for creators to keep more of what their work earns. That is the reason Trick District exists.
Put makers closer to performers
Trick District exists to give independent creators a better way to sell their work, and to give performers one good place to buy it. If you make magic and want to sell it here, we would like to hear from you.
