El Rey de la Magia

El Rey de la Magia

Spain, Barcelona

There are museums in Barcelona where children do not have to be lured by cunning. These are, for example, the museum, theatre and magic shop El Rey de la Magia. Probably, any child at least once dreamed of becoming a wizard — and now, it turns out, such a dream can come true. Task number 1 — consider the cunning devices magicians use in the museum. Task number 2 — during a theatrical performance, be surprised that illusionists seem to manage only with sleight of hand. Task number 3 — buy a magic wand or a set for magic tricks in a magical store.

The Magic Shop in Barcelona first opened its doors in 1881. There was no trick to it — on the contrary, magicians bought equipment and materials for their tricks here. Today, in the shop of the "King of Magic" (as the name El Rey de la Magia translates), you can buy the right equipment, training discs and books, as well as other attributes of an illusionist in precisely the same way. By the way, the salesman isn't just limited to handing out merchandise — he also has quite a few fantastic skills in the store. He'll tell kids the secret of simple magic tricks and help them find everything they need for clever tricks.

But before choosing something in a magic store, we recommend that you look at what magicians of the 19th and early 20th centuries used in their work. The museum exhibits not only magic devices but also old posters, after seeing which, the audience pours into the show of illusions.

And in the evening, visit the performance in the magic theatre. Although the performance is in Catalan, everything is clear and without words. Masters of their craft perform in the theatre: it is impossible to understand how they perform their tricks; one can only be amazed. The performances are designed to be watched by small viewers. There are many jokes and absurdities in the performances that delight children.
