Kortleksbolaget has Scandinavias largest selection of playing cards. At our store you will find over 1000 different playing cards from a range of manufacturers, everything from the more ordinary kinds to the special collectibles. We have playing cards for every aspect of your life, no matter what you’re after. We also offer a small portion of magic tricks.
Metalwriting Magic Creations is globally recognized for his groundbreaking inventions and high-quality utility items. In 2011 Andreas Sebring invented the MetalWriting system – a revolutionary method allowing a freely selected word or number to be engraved onto a solid metal surface right before the audience’s eyes. Two years later, he released his first commercial product utilizing this principle, The Eye of Odin. MetalWriting has since evolved from a single effect into a profound methodology packed with subtleties, secret handling, and unique techniques.
In January 2025 Andreas Sebring acquired the legendary brand El Duco’s Magic. As the sole producer bringing back these world-renowned Swedish quality items, he took the market by storm in 2025 with his updated release of the legendary El Duco Swedish Reel.
Pegani – Back in 1987, at the age of 18, Steen Pegani opened his very first small magic shop, which over the years has grown into one of the largest magic companies in Europe. At Pegani, you will find most things — though not everything — as they spend a great deal of time carefully curating the market and selecting only the very best products.
If you place your order before 14.00, your items will be shipped the very same day, and if you have any questions, you will always receive a friendly response when you call or write. Steen Pegani himself will be bringing a large exhibition to the Nordic Championships in Magic, and if there is anything special you would like him to bring along, just let him know in advance.
If you are a dealer of magic props and want to exhibit at the Nordic Championships, please contact GMK via info@nm2026.se
