Riley’s Trick Shop

Posted on Thursday, May 13, 2010 in Day Trips, General Mayhem, Kid-ertainment

We LOVE going to Riley’s Trick Shop. Each time we go it’s a new adventure. The kids look forward to going because,  as a small family owned shop, they always greet you with a smile and are always pleased to let the kids explore as long as they’d like.  My kids will ask to see just about everything  demonstrated and they have yet to lose patience even once.  This place is wall to wall costumes and novelties. If you can’t find something you want there it’s because you haven’t opened your eyes. Even the ceiling is dripping with hats and masks. You can spend a lot of money in there but you don’t have too. The kids always walk away with a trick or a gag and the smile they get is a mile wide.  Here are some of the pics of one visit there. Ian asked for a pad of gigantic dollar bills, Hayden got a trick spill cup and Caleb ended up with a can of exploding worms…Classic! I wouldn’t let them get the can of fart spray! They got to smell it through the can because the owner said it really works and it’s vile so  NO spraying it in the store. LOL   I’ve been going there since I was a little kid. I’m not sure who enjoys going there more. Even my oldest and I stopped in when he came for his last visit home.  You are never too young or too old for Riley’s.

    If that place isn’t heaven to a boy I don’t know what is. That “fart in a can” is hilarious–I certainly don’t need it though with my dog around.

    I haven’t been in there in years but almost every time I drive by Gavin pops into my head…how odd

  3. Paula says:

    Too Funny! He just bought some cigarette loads there last week. I guess you won’t be getting those pulled on you. I remember one time Gavin(at 5) got an exploding ice cream cone made out of foam that popped out at people. Grandma pretended to take a lick and he let it pop…She said…It sprained my tongue!! It sprained my tongue!!! It still makes me laugh to think of that

  4. Katie says:

    No I don’t remember, i was 5…

  5. Paula says:

    Les, It is HEAVEN for boys and I’ve found it suspicious that men always blame the dog…hmmmm…

    and Katie, I said I remember..even though you were there…He made you do that gag too! .and you need to go there again. It’s so fun!

    They have opened another store in Frankfort IL, on Lagrange Road. I love that place. Now I can still get may gags and newspapers without driving all the way to Worth…
