Hey friends! 
I'm Peter X, and this is my little passion project turned reality.
... Magic & Cards was born!
What began as "wouldn't it be cool if..." has turned into something I'm very proud of. It's become a happy place for magicians and card enthusiasts of all levels, right here in Houston, Texas (yeehaw!).
Creating magic, playing cards and accessories is one of the best parts of what I do. There's something really satisfying about bringing an idea to life and then seeing other magicians use it to blow people's minds.
I'm not going to annoy you with tons of emails or try to sell you 17 versions of the same trick. I just want to share the good stuff and help you find exactly what you need. Looking for the perfect trick for your next gig? Need advice about getting started in magic? Want to argue about which color Bicycle deck is the best? (It's red, obviously.) I'm your guy!
Customer service? Yep, that's also me! I do my absolute best to give you an amazing experience. Need help? Got questions? Want to chat about the latest magic release? I'm all ears! And whenever I can swing it, I offer free shipping
because magic should be accessible to everyone.
, a seasoned pro who can do a faro shuffle in your sleep 
, or a playing card collector with more decks than sense (no judgment, I'm right there with you) 
, you're welcome here. Magic & Cards is for magicians and card enthusiasts of ALL levels. Beginners rock. Pros rock. Everyone rocks!
I LOVE going to magic conventions and jamming with other magicians. There is nothing quite like that electric energy when magicians get together to fool each other, share ideas, try out new effects, and just geek out over this amazing art form. I'm a big believer in openly sharing magic to grow the passion and help others discover what makes this whole thing so incredibly special.
One of my absolute favorite things to do is showcasing other magicians and artists' creations and helping their work reach more people. When I find something brilliant, I want to tell everyone about it! We're all in this magical artsy community together, and lifting each other up is what it's all about. If you are a creator, please reach out to me and I will happily help promote your stuff!
Got questions? Need a recommendation? Just want to chat about magic, swap stories about your favorite effects or geek out over playing cards? Hit me up! I'm always happy to help and always down for a good conversation.
Let's make some magic and cards together!
Stay magical,

I'm Peter X, and this is my little passion project turned reality. How It All Started
Magic has been my hobby for as long as I can remember. I'm a mechanical engineer by day, and a total magic nerd by night! In 2020, while everyone was baking sourdough, I decided to combine my passion for magic with my love for creating and sharing. And just like that... *POOF*... Magic & Cards was born!What began as "wouldn't it be cool if..." has turned into something I'm very proud of. It's become a happy place for magicians and card enthusiasts of all levels, right here in Houston, Texas (yeehaw!).
Stuff I've Made
When I'm not running the shop, I love designing and making cool magic stuff! I released Mr. Wizard 2.0, a free magic trick for the community because, come on, sharing magic is what it's all about! I also designed and produced the Bicycle Invoked Playing Cards, a versatile marked deck that allows you to perform miracles, easily! I created other tricks too, but they are still not polished enough to share yet. So stay tuned!Creating magic, playing cards and accessories is one of the best parts of what I do. There's something really satisfying about bringing an idea to life and then seeing other magicians use it to blow people's minds.
What Makes Magic & Cards Different (Besides My Charming Personality)
Currently, I'm a one person show, and I'm loving it so far! It means every single product on this website has been personally handpicked by yours truly.

The Bottom Line (No Boring Corporate Speak, I Promise)
Magic isn't just about fooling people or learning sleights. It's about the connections we make, the smiles we create, the gasps of amazement, and the wonder we get to share with others.
