Huge congratulations for reaching 40. None of you look a day over 21. You’re one of the very few truly loved and respected names in magic, and you’ve always been wonderful to talk to and ask for advice. Thank you for every time you’ve gone out of your way to help me even when there was no reason to do so. For being so knowledgeable, so easy and friendly to talk to, and for radiating a love of magic so rare amongst those who deal in it. Much love to you all from London. – Derren

What an accomplishment! 40 years in magic and much more than that: 40 years thriving in the magic trade. We are indebted to you for the way in which you have been proving year after year that this business can and should be respectably run – even in times of tough competition – there is a moral code to be followed and unwritten ethical rules never to be ignored. Your respect for intellectual property rights have set an example that commands everyone’s admiration. Accept my heartfelt congratulations and, above all, my profound gratitude for always having been such a nice person and a good and loyal friend. – Domenico Dante – FISM – International President

Congratulations on forty wonderful years of Magic! Thank you for your friendship and excellent service to the magic community. You have inspired so many generations of magicians. We wish you many more years of success! Norm & Lupe Nielsen

“Having known Joe and the Stevens family for most of these 40 years, it is very difficult to condense their multiple contributions to magic into a few words. However, there have always been two constants all of these four decades and those are class and character. From the beginning the Emporium, the Wichita Conventions and the Desert Seminars have always been first class operations, exemplifying quality and excellence, and always done with the highest character. The core of all these operations was always the Stevens family which brought a wholesomeness and substance that benefited magic and advanced its reputation. For 40 years, Joe Stevens and family have been the hallmark of excellence in magic. Becki and I are honored to offer our most sincere and heartfelt congratulations.” Bill and Becki Wells

“Joe owes his success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice I could give him, and then doing the exact opposite.”………… George Robinson Jr. a faithful friend.

“Without you and your family, Stevens Magic Emporium, I never would be the man, (person) in magic that I am today! We have worked a life time together, with great respect and honor to magic and the working performers. Thank you for your experiences and friendships.” Harold Voit – ZabuberZentrale

When I met Joe Stevens, I didn’t know who he was? That was the start of an incredible relationship by being on the board of the “Desert Magic Seminar”, to Joe marketing my magic….the list goes on and on”. – Pete Biro

To “Uncle Joe”, on the fortieth anniversary of his Cave of Wonders, who without a doubt, can sell ice cubes to Eskimos, in the middle of an Alaskan winter. I know, because I am one of those Eskimos! Indeed, one of my dearest and closest friends and may his ice cube never melt! – Marvyn Roy

In the history of American magic stores there have been a few select purveyors of prestidigitation that have stood out above the rest. This is due to the uniqueness of their wizardly wares, outstanding service, exceptional value, and integrity in transactions. Included in this list is Martinka & Company (Flosso/Hornman Magic Co), Joe Berg’s Princess Magic Shop, Marvin Burger’s House of Magic and Stevens’ Magic Emporium. As a retail store, wholesaler, importer, publisher, video producer, convention host, and internet magic dealer, Stevens’ Magic Emporium has excelled in all areas. Joe Stevens is a true lover of the art of magic and is himself a performer, mentalist, teacher of magic, and promoter of other magicians for the benefit of us all. The whole Stevens family has been involved in the business since the beginning, and the legacy of Stevens’ Magic Emporium will continue with Mark Stevens to reach magic enthusiasts worldwide. It is with great pride that I congratulate the Stevens family on their 40 year celebration of successful sorcery. – Nick Saint-Erne, DVM CertAqV

When I first started doing business with Joe Stevens back in 1975 he was one of the first dealers to sell my books and neither of us thought we’d be around forty years later. Stevens Magic Emporium (Joe and Mark) have consistently represented the world of magic with class and respect. They have been successful at giving us the personal touch they still offer today. They are honest in their representations of the effects they market . In addition to having a well-deserved respected company – they are nice genuine folks to deal with. I look forward visiting with them at our conventions and on the internet. Congratulations to my friends at Stevens Magic Emporium ….
