Hey guys need a little help...

[CASEACE79]

I currently am working at a kite and toy shop. Recently my boss came to me and showed an interest in starting a magic program and wants me to head it up. What I need help with is some effects to order for the store. Here is the criteria I have to meet. It is geared for kids between the ages between the ages of 7-15 (mostly boys), Little to no slight of hand, and no more than $10 wholesale. Plus if you guys know of some good wholesale magic retailers it would be appreciated greatly. Thanks for all your help in advance.

hey bro i was put in almost the same situation I had to buy a bunch og diferent effects and I had a budget of 600$ so I talked to some of my freinds and found out that a companie called royal magic.They are a whole salling company with eavery kind of cheap trick that a kids from 5 to 17 would like to use to foul there friends and stuff here is a link to there website http://www.funinc.com/xcart/home.php(if the link is not clikible copy and past it) The only catch is you have to order 300$ worth of stuff and have to be somthing like 16 or over to whole sale there I am only 14 and they let me cause i a ma young magicien and I sent them the info o what i do and what not. Over all after buying 600$ worth of magic stuff I made 3000$ smakaroos because they sell the magic for cheap and you can sell it for a heck of a lot more then it is worth.(and I mean a lot more then it is worth).If you need any more info just om me and i can answer any questions you may have.

Peace.

at the link you have provided, all of the products are quoted at $99999.00 even if you sign up. I am confused?? I am curious because somebody has quite recently asked me a similar question

2 card monte is a must. Very cheap with the potential for a decent mark up, and very easy to do. Did I mention pretty darn cool too??

thanks for all the suggestions guys...

Another problem I'm having is that I'm expected to demo this stuff outside to adults too. So the old sting in vase is a no go. I was thinkin possibly loops. Strong enough for everyone but simple enough for kids to do. Plus breakage adds to repeat sales. haha! I was also thinking about the PSI device. I'm looking for cheap and visual too.

Loops are definitely not good for young ones...most loops effects need some mighty good presentational skills (much like most mentalism effects, which a lot of people use loops for), audience management, and the like. Definitely not suggested for beginners.
