Eddie’s Trick & Novelty Shop

The store has been in the marietta square for a number of years probably longer than I have been alive. They sell all sorts of over priced do-dad’s and novelties from tricks to fx make up. I come here when I can’t make it to fx make up store I go to in hapeville for supplies. Their section on fx supplies is limited and $ 3-​$ 10 more expensive than online competitor’s but I was desperate and needed the stuff for a impromptu project I got picked up for. They do sell colored contacts if you are doing creature make up but their contact colors in stock are limited. Diffinitely worth checking out if you want to see some wacky stuff and play with it while you window shop. They sell dance stuff and clown stuff too. Being I don’t like clowns I made my purchase rather quickly so I didn’t run into any. Lol they have a reward card for every $ 10 or $ 20 you spend you get a stamp. I guess that’s good if you go in there often.

I have been searching for a nice makeup shop and I have finally found it. I had no idea it was practically neighbors with Dekalb Farmer’s market which I frequent quite often. My part-​time job is as a makeup artist. This place carries a great selection of Ben Nye among other great brands. My special effects makeup artists friends can find what they need as well. It’s not a huge store but they carry quality name brands at Amazon prices. Makeup artists get 10% off! The lady at the register did an awesome job helping me find what I needed to create a crazy costume face for this weekend! There are plenty of costumes to choose from as well.

This place is great! Grease paint, puppets, juggling supplies, dancewear, hats and wigs, costumes for rent or purchase, and occasional performers! Fun for the living and (according to the Ghosts of Marietta tour guide) the dead alike. :)

I was in town visiting my best friends and their two little ones (my niece and nephew ages five and three) and ran across this shop while in the square checking out the Marietta Square Farmer’s Market. I stopped in with the kids and their dad. Besides it being the highlight of the trip for the kids, I found a Higgins diabolo at a very reasonable price which ended up being great entertainment for everyone for the rest of the weekend including random folks at a local park.
The staff was friendly and helpful. I look forward to return trips when I’m in town.

If Eddie’s doesn’t carry it, chances are you won’t find it! I’ve been coming to Eddie’s since the 90s when they setup shop on Memorial Drive in Tucker. They have and always will be the premier costume, magic, and novelty vendor in Atlanta. Now with two locations, the shop in Marietta sits on the South end of the square and is deceptively large. The shop goes back for about a football field inside the building with novelty items in the front, massive costume and theatrical counters in the middle, and ending with a ballet clothing store in the back.
Eddie’s truly has it all and their staff are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. Most of them are seasoned actors and performers who will not only help you pick out items, but teach you how to apply everything from makeup to latex modifications.
The only drawback is the price. They carry serious costumes and accessories all the way up through professional rentals. If you want cheap plastic and throw away one time use stuff, probably not your place. But if you are looking for an impressive costume that can be worn or rented multiple times, look no further!
Let your imagination wander and your inner child out!

They have it all. They even have a ballet supply store in the back. I think the building should probably be registered. Eddies has the most comprehensive trick, makeup and costume inventory I have seen around. Plan to be on the square for a meal and a stroll. What a terrific find.

Can’t believe this in 2013…
I have shopped at Eddie’s Trick shop for many years. It is a great place to find unique, one-​of-​a-​kind costumes and tricks.
Someone reminded me today of the dance shop in the back of Eddie’s. I was shopping for my daughter a dance outfit and found 2 items that I was going to buy. They were priced a little higher than other dance shops but since it was something that my daughter selected and for convience I decided to go ahead and buy.
As I stand in line, the clerk is checking someone out and the person never mentioned or requested a discount. The clerk seemingly knowing the person said, I can give you the school discount. As I checked out, the clerk never asked me if I was tied to any school, dance studio or performance program. She rang my total up and advised me the total.
Since I shop at most of the ATL stores, I am aware of the discounts provided and I «ASKED HER» for the discount for dance studio. She said she could not provide me with a discount.
Being 2013, I felt that she didn’t even ask but offered the prior person a school discount without them evening asking.
Needless to say, I kindly advised her that I would not be buying the outfits and went to Dance Fashion on Roswell Rd to spend my money and they always provide you with the discount based on the Dance School my daugher attends.
I WILL NEVER SPEND ANOTHER PENNY IN THIS SHOP! PROMISE YOU. MY MONEY IS MY POWER NOT TO SUPPORT THIS TYPE OF BIASED ACTIONS!

I love Eddie’s. I just want to hang out there and try on all the wigs and costumes and props and makeup. The people who work there are super-​nice and really helpful. When I was looking for a particular type of wig for Dragon*Con one of the women working there even gave me detailed instructions on how to MAKE IT since Eddie’s didn’t carry what I needed! (And it turned out fabulous, I might add!)
The best part is Eddie’s is always fully stocked, even if it’s the middle of February or July and no one in America is wearing costumes.
Take note: you can’t return stuff; only store credit or exchanges.

Don’t start with Party City. Drag your butt to Eddie’s Trick Shop.
Wigs, masks, costumes, hats, glasses, makeup, stockings, disguises, novelty gifts, magic tricks, jokes, and more.
If you come in a couple weeks before Dragon Con, they’ll give you a 10% discount!
If they don’t have what you’re looking for, they’ll help you find it or a way around it. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about makeup and prosthetics and horns and gashes. It’s fun and a pleasure to stop in here.
[Fun keywords for searchers: goblins, ghouls, moustache, vampire, thriller, werewolf, spirits, masquerade, kitty cat. Thank you.]

I’m a prankster. I love stink bombs, fake poop, fart machines, and all manner of trickery. Eddie’s is where I refill my inner 6 year old kid’s pockets. Check your next glass of iced tea. If I’m around, there may be an ice cube with a bug in it lurking in there. ;-D

This place is pretty cool. Especially if you have a never ending supply of cash… because you will need plenty to actually purchase something here. They have awesome costumes though. I bought a viking helmet here for a prop for a company meeting… it was about $ 50! Oh, and if you’re ever in the market for plastic poop and/​or puke, they have that here too. My son used to spend his last $ 15 on this kind of crap (pun intended) and got a huge kick when he was able to trick us with his bizare (read: disgusting) brand of humor. I think you can even rent costumes here.

I was pretty obsessed one year with this Viking costume for Halloween.. . driving me to make my way up to Marietta to check out the goods at Eddie’s Trick Shop. But it’s not just for Halloween — Eddie’s fits the bill if you need a costume for a theme party, school theatre or to aid in your best friend’s film career aspirations. I’ve seen something a time or two on TLC shows about theme weddings, so if you’re ever invited to one of those, I’m sure you’d even be able to rent a Renaissance costume or Star Wars getup here too.
Novelty is also another key word here, folks. They have everything from juggling supplies to clown supplies, all on the Marietta Square.

What an outrageous assortment of goodies Eddie’s Trick Shop has. You can rent or buy crazy costumes, wigs, and more. They even have dance gear in the back for those of you with kids taking dance. This is the perfect place to get prepped for Halloween — and those just for fun days as well — magic and juggle kits are also found here.

If you’re looking for some expensive and/​or crazy costumes to wear this Halloween, Eddie’s is a great place to start. They have a huge selection of rental costumes of all ilk, as well as the more minor accessories: wigs, make-​up, plastic cigars, weapons, masks, etc.
I remember as a kid being pretty wowed by the array of masked heads they had behind the counter. Stab wound victims, ghoulies of all sorts.
It’s pretty expensive here, as most costume shops are, so you need to be willing to spend a penny to get what you want. But you can be sure that you’ll probably find what you looking for.
They also have quite an array of magic tricks and accessories if you’re into that kind of thing. From trick decks down to exploding powder, there’s always something here worth digging up.

Anyone who knows me knows that I love me some Halloween!
Ever since I was a kid I have had this passion for Halloween that has only gotten stronger over the years– soon I think it will be to «Roseanne» proportions… anyway, I digress…
This is the store I have been going to since I was a kid. It has all the items and accessories you would need in order to pull off a decent costume.
They sell the traditional generic costumes, but also rent out a lot of interesting, mostly hand-​made (and probably came from some high school’s drama department) costumes that may just inspire you to be a medieval maid or maybe even a knight (I have seen metal knight costumes in there.) They also have theater-​grade makeup and masks if you aren’t handy with face paint and such.
There is definitely a sort of creepiness to the place which may bug me a bit at any other time of the year but October. But, I will warn you– if you go and try to pick out a costume right before Halloween you may have to sit in line for quite awhile to make your purchases as it does get very busy in there at that time of the year!
