Opening
MIKE DANATA'S MAGIC STUDIO opened in June 2001, at 121a Palmerston
Road, in the Boscombe area of Bournemouth, on the South coast of
the UK. A small studio with a lot of stock!! Slightly off the beaten
track, but actually only a few minutes walk from McDonalds in the
main high street, with on street parking outside. The studio is
also only a few minutes away from Bournemouth Central Railway/Coach
Station.
Stocking 1000's of items including TRICKS - VIDEOS - DVD'S - BOOKS - ACCESSORIES etc. If we don't have what you require, we'll try our best to get it for you. We also have in stock many lines that are EXCLUSIVE to us!! with many new and exciting items on the way! DemonstrationsWe are happy to demonstrate many of the items that we sell, but because of the sheer quantity of tricks that we stock we cannot demonstrate them all!! (we just don't have time to learn every single one!). We do however check every item, that we sell, so we can always talk you through any items that we don't demonstrate. We can tell you whether it's easy or hard, and roughly what's going on, regarding what you have to learn. We want you to be happy with your purchase, and will always help as much as we possibly can. In the Beginning
The ComebackIn 1991, however he made a comeback at Weymouth Pavilion, in a show which he starred in and produced himself to much critical acclaim, called "SEEING IS BELIEVING" Mike was back on the road again! Cruise work followed and many TV appearances etc. It was in the SEEING IS BELIEVING SHOW that Mike sang for the first time, and many people pointed out an amazing similarity in his voice to that of BARRY MANILOW, and yet another career evolved! This time as a Barry Manilow tribute artist! Mike then decided to combine the two aspects together, and created a one man show called "COULD IT BE MAGIC!" (Barry Manilow wrote the song!) the combination of Magic and Song was an instant hit and played all over the country, including London's West End for two weeks, again to much critical acclaim.Mike also writes his own songs, both music and lyrics, and still performs to this day, when he has time! (which isn't so often, because he is just so busy with his MAGIC STUDIO!) Mike also creates many of his own ORIGINAL tricks.
The Dream
We are happy to demonstrate many of the items that we sell, or at least talk you through them.

Mike first became interested in Magic at the age of nine, when he
had a Magic set for Christmas. He DREAMED of becoming a professional
magician, which he achieved when he was twenty two years of age. For six
years he toured the world, until he contracted a rare lung disease from
the doves that he used in his act, and for a while gave it all up.
"When Mike was a young kid, he dreamed of a "MAGICAL
SUPERSTORE".... that upon entering would fill him with excitement
and wonderment. A store so full of all things magical from around
the world.
Until now! The Magic Superstore of Mike Danata's dreams is now
YOUR reality !!! .... Why dream any longer? Live the dream TODAY by
visiting MIKE DANATA'S MAGIC STUDIO. We have THOUSANDS of items in stock,
and will always try to get any special items that you may require. If you
ask for an opinion on a trick, we will always answer truthfully, (even if
it means we lose a sale) WE WOULD PREFER TO LOSE A SALE THAN A CUSTOMER!
