The Curse of the Frozen Gold is a legendary tale that has intrigued treasure hunters and adventurers for decades. It all began in the late 1800s, when the Klondike Gold Rush gripped the imaginations of prospectors from all over the world. The promise of riches drew countless individuals to the remote and harsh regions of Alaska and the Yukon in search of their fortune. Among the many miners who ventured into these treacherous lands was a man named Swiftwater Bill Gates. An experienced prospector, Gates believed he had stumbled upon a massive deposit of gold hidden deep within the icy wilderness. Excited by the potential wealth awaiting him, he began mining the area with great enthusiasm.
When the IBM has their annual swap meet you may see them setup up shop. Also at the Anual Salt Lake City Magic Jam they will make an appearance. Although it looks like that convention may not be returning to Salt Lake this year.

There's nothing like you would think. Nothing like the Disneyland Magic Shop, or Tannens. All of the local shops have gone online.
The magic community is pretty big in Utah though. There are 6 magic clubs from Logan to Orem in our area 3 of which are official national branches of the IBM(International Brotherhood of Magicians) and SAM(Society of American Magicians).
Back to your question.
Loftus is in the top 5 magic wholesale shops in the world and their headquarters is in Ogden. https://www.loftus.com/pages/magic
House of Chuckles had a storefront in Salt Lake for a few years. They are still around selling high-quality gimmicked decks online. https://www.houseofchuckles.com/
Finally, we have Magic4Less. This is a Murphy's distributor that sells magic locally and online. https://www.magic4less.com/
When the IBM has their annual swap meet you may see them setup up shop. Also at the Anual Salt Lake City Magic Jam they will make an appearance. Although it looks like that convention may not be returning to Salt Lake this year.
PM me if you want to talk about the local magic scene.

Oct 19, 2015 317 220As a kid 1950's early 60's, I lived in a small town in the mountains of Colorado. I had a friend who's brother (in high school) was a pretty good magician. He did a few shows for the kids in Grade School, and did a few local gig's over the years. I was always trying to get his brother to let me look at his tricks, and he would not, no doubt under threat of his big brother.
Finally, I got him to 'sell' me for $5 bucks the 'secret' to putting a hat pin in a balloon. Although, I was disappointed in myself for not figuring that out on my own, I was hooked! I now know two ways to do it. and I am sure there are more.
Every Summer I was able to spend a couple of weeks with my Grandparents in Denver. My Grandfather worked downtown and I was able to go with him on the bus to work, where I went to 2-3 magic shops in the downtown area. In time the owners started working with me, showing me tricks and whenever I could scrape up a few bucks. sell me some tricks. great times they were and I was hooked for life.
Very few good (wall to wall) magic stores still exist and I fear they are slowly all converting to mail order via the internet. I miss being able to go in and see the tricks performed. and really seeing what quality they are. I only know of one real shop in the state I live in and it is 3 hours away. I do go there at times, but most of what I do is now on line. It works, but is not half as fun.

I have been to one magic shop in Colorado although I know of a few great performers that hail from Colorado.
Also, in Utah I never mentioned Mystic Dining. It's not a magic shop but a dining experience that flies magicians in from all around the world to perform.
Serving the El Paso Area
His companions began to suffer from inexplicable illnesses, while others vanished without a trace. Gates himself started experiencing horrifying nightmares and strange visions that would plague him day and night. The mysterious happenings reached a climax one fateful night when a massive blizzard swept across the region. Gates and his crew were forced to take shelter in their camp, fearing for their lives. As they huddled together, Gates noticed an ominous glow emanating from beneath the frozen ground. Intrigued and driven by his desire for gold, he dug deeper, convinced that he was on the verge of a historic discovery. But as Gates broke through the ice and reached the source of the glow, a deafening scream ripped through the frozen air. The ground beneath them shook violently, and a massive spectral figure appeared before their eyes. It was said to be the spirit of an ancient Inuit chief, who had long guarded the cursed gold buried beneath the ice. The chief warned Gates and his crew that anyone who dared to disturb the treasure would be doomed to suffer its curse. Terrified and shaken, Gates and his crew immediately fled the area, leaving behind all their equipment and dreams of untold wealth. From that day forward, the region became known as the Curse of the Frozen Gold, deterring many would-be treasure seekers from attempting to uncover its secrets. Over the years, several intrepid explorers have risked their lives in search of the cursed gold, but none have succeeded. Many have reported bizarre encounters, including debilitating illnesses, intense hallucinations, and inexplicable accidents. The curse appears to be more than a superstition or tall tale, with each failed expedition reinforcing its power and deterrence. The Curse of the Frozen Gold continues to capture the imagination of adventurers and treasure hunters, serving as a cautionary tale of the dangers that lie hidden beneath the frozen wilderness. It stands as a reminder that in the pursuit of fortune, one must consider the price that may accompany it..
Reviews for "Fools Gold: The Curse of Frozen Treasures"
- Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Curse of the Frozen Gold". The storyline was weak and the characters were poorly developed. It felt like the script was rushed and there were so many plot holes that left me scratching my head. The acting was also subpar, with wooden performances and lack of chemistry between the actors. Overall, this movie was a letdown and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
- Michael - 1/5 stars - "Curse of the Frozen Gold" was a complete waste of time. The plot was predictable and uninspiring. I've seen similar movies done a hundred times before and this one brought nothing new to the table. The special effects were laughable, especially in scenes where they were supposed to show the icy wilderness. The dialogue was cringe-worthy and the acting was so bad that it was hard to take anything seriously. Save your money and skip this one.
- Emily - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Curse of the Frozen Gold" but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The story had potential, but it was poorly executed. The pacing was inconsistent, with some scenes dragging on while others felt rushed. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with them on any level. The only redeeming aspect was the beautiful cinematography, but that alone wasn't enough to salvage this disappointing film.
