Magic, Tricks and Make-Believe Fun!

I owned the "Magic Money Machine" as a child and was severely disappointed it did not in fact, make actual money. Have i ever mentioned that I was kind of stupid as a kid?

This is one of the few times where I gave myself a "Hey! I had this!" moment.

Inspired by a magic based kid's game show that ran every morning, I got my parents to buy me the "Magic Money" set.

There is a vague recollection of disappointment that the set didn't produce dollar bills, have I mentioned that I was a really daft kid?

It's Maaaaagic!

Chances are at one point in your childhood, you became somewhat interested in Magic, especially tricks that you could perform yourself.

This magic section from the 1975 Franco American Catalog, one of the bigger novelty distributors shows that you weren't alone, their rack toy like selection of magic tricks might be familiar if you ever desired to pull a rabbit out of hat.
