Scarborough Joke & Magic Shop Hits 100,000 Orders on eBay!

A Milestone Worth Celebrating
It’s official – Scarborough Joke & Magic Shop has reached the 100,000 orders mark on eBay! The shop, well-known for its cheeky pranks, professional magic props, and novelty gifts, has been a much-loved part of Scarborough’s Eastborough since the 1980s.

Receiving this award from eBay is a huge moment for owner Miles, who proudly accepted the trophy outside the bright yellow and red shop that has become a local landmark.

From Seaside Fun to Online Success
The Joke & Magic Shop has always been about spreading laughter, whether through classic whoopee cushions or mind-blowing magic tricks. But the journey from a single seaside store to a thriving online retailer hasn’t happened overnight.

Over the years, the shop has embraced modern platforms including eBay, Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, and TikTok Shop, sending Scarborough silliness to customers all over the UK and beyond.

“It shows how a small, family-run shop can not only survive but thrive in the digital age,” says Miles. “We’ve always believed in the fun factor, and now we get to share it with even more people online.”

Why This Matters
At a time when many high street shops face challenges, the Scarborough Joke & Magic Shop’s success story proves that independent retailers can adapt and grow while keeping their unique character intact.

For locals, it’s a point of pride; for visitors, it’s a reason to stop by and see the magic for themselves. And for online shoppers? It’s a chance to bring home a little bit of Scarborough fun with just a click.

Looking to the Future
With 100,000 eBay orders behind them, the team at the Joke & Magic Shop has no plans to slow down. More tricks, more pranks, and more reasons to laugh are already in the pipeline.

Whether you’re visiting Scarborough or scrolling online, there’s always something new—and mischievous—waiting for you at Scarborough Joke & Magic Shop.
