I looked at some of those links - not entirely helpful.  Some of the info is dated and at least one of the listed shops went out of business due to the poor economy but is keeping the site for a possible future re-opening.

Quad, I would be shocked and surprised if Disney World (and possibly Universal Studios) didn't have a magic shop on-premises.

This shop is in Universal as well as online: http://www.theatremagic.com/  Unfortunately, I think they only carry their own overpriced brand.  Disney has two shops, according to what I've read, but one's overpriced and the other had terrible customer service - but bear in mind my intel on this is about three years old.

These one came recommended on a T11 forum:

If you're willing to take a day trip to Daytona Beach, this place apparently has a massive selection.  Plus I hear Daytona's a nice place to visit.

Yeah, I was looking more for recommendations than the ability to find them.

Thanks don. Heading to universal today, and Daytona in a couple of days so ill see if I can stop into one of these places.

The one in Daytona really sounded great.  Depending on when you go and how much traffic you hit, the drive is 60 to 90 minutes away.  I don't know if swimming is advisable - the ocean might be a bit too cold this time of year!  But definitely call first - it would be a shame to show up when the place is closed!
