American Museum of Magic

The American Museum of Magic is a three-story museum in Marshall that houses approximately 500,000 objects related to magic. The collection includes props, photographs, books, magazines, and historical documents spanning the history of magic.

The museum opened in 1978 inside a Victorian building constructed in 1868 that once operated as a saloon, clothing store, and billiard hall. The building itself carries the history of the town while now housing one of the largest collections dedicated to magic.

The collection displays equipment and personal items from famous magicians, offering insight into the world of professional magic performance. Visitors can see the tools that legendary performers used during their acts.

The museum offers guided tours, school trips, and virtual workshops, with special appointments available outside regular hours if arranged by telephone. Visitors should contact ahead if they wish to customize their experience.

The Lund Memorial Library within the museum holds over one million archived items, including a collection of 50,000 volumes available for research. This extensive library makes the museum a significant destination for those wishing to study the art form more deeply.
