It is claimed to be the oldest continuously operating magic shop in the United States.[1]The back of their New York City store housed a workshop where the company was soon building magic illusions and props for virtually all the famous magicians of the day.In 1902, the Society of American Magicians was founded in Martinka's backroom. And, early on the Martinka magic shop became a hang-out and gathering spot where both famous and unknown, professional and amateur magicians alike could socialize, swap stories and share insights. Over the decades of its circa 150-year-old existence, generations of magic enthusiasts have congregated there. Customers of the past included Alexander Herrmann, Harry Kellar, Howard Thurston, Joseph Dunninger,[2] and Harry Houdini. And in more recent times, Woody Allen, Penn & Teller, David Copperfield, David Blaine and celebrity magician John Stessel among others, have visited the shop.
