Clownin Around

Magic Shop

When asked, “How did you get into magic?”,  Amanda’s eyes sparkle. “It was my worst business decision, which 11 years later, has turned into my best business decision.”

Trained as a professional actor, this multi-faceted, energetic, quick witted businesswoman is a magician, clown, balloon twister, face painter, workshop leader, who owns Vancouver’s only magic shop.

Not the dark sullen magic shop, this one is warm and welcoming with tons of things for the magician, prankster or juggler of all ages.

Amanda loves helping her customers find the right “trick”. Whether it’s for a movie or theatre production, grandparents, ministers, salespeople or motivational speakers who want something visual for their presentations, Clownin Around Magic Shop has something for every skill level.








This store fits Amanda’s personality perfectly. It’s all about entertaining and laughter and including people in the process. Her second best business decision? Hiring Joe. No one is supposed to have this much fun at work!!!
