What it is
BIG MAGIC (operated by BIGWEB) runs a flagship store on the 9th floor of Akihabara Radio Kaikan. It bills itself as one of Akihabara's largest card-game specialty stores and stocks many games — Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Weiss Schwarz, Vanguard, Duel Masters, Battle Spirits, Digimon Card Game and more — alongside supplies.
The shop sells both singles and sealed product and has dueling space for in-store play. It is listed in the official Pokémon Card Game store directory as a Pokémon Card Gym, meaning it hosts sanctioned Pokémon events, and has a long history of in-store Magic events — a convenient one-stop for visitors who play multiple games.
