Abracadabra has been satisfying New Yorkers' year-round appetite for elaborate costumes and bizarre props for nearly 25 years. Whether you're prepping for a magician's act, appearing in a drag show, filming a horror flick or just going to a costume party, Abracadabra's inventory of more than 100,000 kooky items will have you covered. If you're in the market for something particularly obscure—a Russian folk dancer outfit or a 7-foot-tall gorilla costume—ask the owners if you can look downstairs; chances are that you'll walk out with a prop fresh from a movie set or Broadway stage. On Sundays at 3pm, a free magic show keeps kids (and adults) happily entertained.
