Full description of the MAK Magic Genii Tube from catalog provided in the included pictures.

Background

The MAK Magic Genii Tube (often spelled “Genie Tube”) is a classic production magic trick manufactured by the MAK Magic Co. of Columbus, Ohio. Originally released in the 1970s and 1980s, it is prized by performers and collectors for its deceptive design and visual impact.

MAK Magic (officially MAK Magic, Inc.) was a prominent American manufacturer and wholesale distributor of magic props and novelty items, originally founded as U.F. Grant Magic. The company is widely known for creating durable, stage-ready illusions

MAK Magic Company Origins & History

Founder: The company began under U.F. “Gen” Grant (1901–1978), a prolific magic inventor and dealer who established his firm in Columbus, Ohio.
Rebranding: In the late 1970s, Grant’s daughter, Mary Ann King, and her husband, Jim King, took over the business. They renamed it MAK Magic, using Mary Ann’s initials.
Business Model: MAK Magic primarily operates as a wholesale distributor, selling directly to retail magic shops rather than the general public.

Effect & Performance

The Reveal: The magician presents a large metal or wooden tube and opens it up to show that it is completely empty.
The Production: Once closed, the magician reaches inside to produce a large volume of items such as silks, sponge balls, or spring flowers.
The Deception: A key feature of the MAK version is its deceptive construction, which allows the tube to be shown empty both before and after the production.
