San Francisco has two of them: Misdirections, a store that’s been there for decades, and Houdini’s/Vanishing Inc. in touristy Pier 39 who have a second location near Disneyland.
Also, the San Francisco Archery Shop seems very specialized in this age of big box sporting goods stores, but again they’ve been around for decades it feels like.
The Bee Healthy Honey Shop in Oakland, selling honey, beeswax, and related products and also beekeeping equipment. It’s run by a Yemeni family of beekeepers.
As a former archer there are a number of archery shops! I went to one place to buy something and found it very strange that it was just in a row of about 8 shops as part of a small housing estate’s little “high street” - alongside a takeaway, tattoo parlour, beauty salon, funeral director - the kind of thing you need a lot more of than archery shops!
It’s moved now, I assume something more normal has taken its old spot…
Magic stores.

Childhood me loved magic stores, the best one I found was in Victoria BC
We had a bee shop at the fair yesterday.
