Rogue Productions Magic & FunShop started out in a backpack on the street corners of New York City. The store was basically a backpack filled with trick decks, magical gimmicks, and all the videos it could carry. From there, it moved into Rogue's apartment for a couple of years (You wouldn't believe the stories he could tell about the people who came to shop). He eventually moved the store out of his apartment into a corner of a little bookstore. Finally, he got a store of his very own, the present inception that you see today.
Rogue left college with a major in Art and a minor in English, and worked as a computer-assisted graphic designer for a local cable tv station. "But I was never happy," he said. He spent more time on conjuring tricks than on acting professional. "I was always doing magic at work. I did magic all my life." Rogue quit his computer design post and got a job at a Manhattan magic shop. "In the first week, I said, 'This is what I want to do'". He didn't really like the idea of working for somebody else, so he took to the streets to fend the business world by himself - and the rest, as they say, is history.
The Rogue Magic Funshop can be found in New York City in the borough of Queens.
