MAK Magic is a magic company that was founded by U.F. Grant and was managed by his daughter and grandson:

U.F. Grant: Created his first tricks in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and later moved to New York City to join the Abbott Magic & Novelty Co. He eventually settled in Columbus, Ohio, where he created his own firm, “U.F. Grant Magic”. In 1944, he partnered with R.N. Menge to create a line of products called “Grant and Menge” or “G. & M.”.
Mary Ann King: Took over the business from her father and renamed it MAK Magic.
Jimmy P. King: Ran the company with his grandmother until being sold. MAK Magic still manufactures many of U.F. Grant’s items

Condition Disclosure for Rare & Vintage Collectible Magic Apparatus

PHOTOS

Please review all listing photos carefully, as they are an important part of the item description. The photos are intended to show the overall visual condition of the apparatus, including possible imperfections, paint quality, decals if applicable, shelf wear, performance wear, and age-related characteristics.

LABELS

MagicTrickCollection.com does not rely on broad condition labels such as “good,” “very good,” “excellent,” or “mint” for vintage and antique magic effects. These terms can be subjective and may mean different things to different collectors. Instead, we believe clear photos from multiple angles provide the most accurate way to evaluate condition without revealing the working secrets of the effect.

OLD VERSUS NEW

Items listed under Rare & Vintage Collectible Magic may range from 10 to 100 years old or more. These are not new magic props. They may show signs of age, handling, storage, repairs, fragility, paint loss, decal wear, or prior performance use.

If your intent is to perform with the item, please understand that some vintage apparatus may require careful handling, adjustment, and practice. This disclosure is provided to help ensure buyers understand they are purchasing a vintage collectible magic item with age, history, and character—not a newly manufactured prop.
