Near Miracles Magic
We are constantly evaluating the tricks we offer so that you can feel confident that you will be getting a good value when you buy from us.
We do not carry every trick on the market for this reason.
If you have questions, please contact us by E-mail or at the shop during store hours by calling +(44) 01723 379222

ASK BEFORE YOU BUY
The time to ask questions about the magic trick you intend to buy is BEFORE you buy it.
Are you concerned about whether you have the skills to do the trick?
All of our effects come with complete instructions, and in fact most tricks we carry are easy to work. If an effect requires special skills, we try to point that out.
If you have a concern, please contact us by E-mail or call +(44) 01723 379222 during shop hours and ask.

WHY DOESN'T NEAR MIRACLES TAKE RETURNS?
First: Magic tricks are unlike any other item you will buy.
When you buy a magic trick, you are buying two things: the actual gimmicked item, and the secret.
Many magic tricks work on very simple principles, and the piece of equipment you get is only part of the trick.
The main part is the secret - the idea, the clever principle, the routine.
The people who invent these tricks must be paid for their ideas.
It would not be fair for you to be able to order their tricks, examine them, learn the secret, and return them to get your money back because now you know "how it's done".

Second: Magic is a hobby that requires practice and dedication.
You must be willing to put some practice into the tricks you buy.
Don't get easily discouraged! Even the simplest tricks don't really work themselves- the magician must present the illusion for the magic to be really good.
Returning a trick just because you don't feel like taking the time to practice it is not allowed (again- you already know the secret!).

Third: Good magic is simple. Sometimes that can be a drawback, because you may receive your trick and think,
"Awwww. That's how it works" and be disappointed that it isn't more complicated.
Remember that all the tricks we carry have been audience tested again and again.
These tricks fool people! Just because a trick is ingeniously simple isn't a good reason for wanting to return it.

Fourth: We try to be as accurate as possible in describing what each trick does.
We encourage you to contact us before you purchase any trick if you have any questions.
We stand behind what we sell: you get a good value for your money.
And that's why there are no refunds.

NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES IF YOU BREAK YOUR ITEM PLEASE HANDLE YOUR TRICKS WITH CARE.
There is no refund or exchange on items that you break.
To repeat: Near Miracles will not refund or exchange items that you break.
Some tricks are delicate in design, and can be easily broken if you don't know how to handle them.
Please read the instructions carefully before working with your new trick.
And we strongly recommend that you do not let others "inspect" or handle your tricks; careless handling by others is a main cause of breakage.
We sell tricks that are durable if used properly. And that's the key: if used properly.

DEFECTIVE ITEM RETURN POLICY
If you receive a defective item (one that arrives already broken or non-functioning), notify us by E-mail or call our branch at +(44) 01723 379222 WITHIN 24 HOURS OF RECEIVING THE ITEM and we will give you instructions for returning the item for replacement.
We will replace a defective item with another of the same item only.
No refunds.
No exchanges.
We apologize, but due to the abuse of this policy by attempts to return items broken by customers while using the tricks improperly, claims of defective items must be made within 24 hours of receiving the item.

NO EXCHANGES: PLEASE SELECT CAREFULLY.
Like all other magic shops, Near Miracles does not allow any item to be returned, refunded or exchanged for a different item. Defective items will be replaced.
Items damaged by customer will not be replaced.
