ZANADU magic trick kits

Postby TAR » January 14th, 2019, 11:09 pm

I am going by memory but it seems like in the late 70's Zanadu advertised (in Magic Magazine at public newsstand) magic trick kits you could buy, assemble, and paint yourself (to save money). I know they also manufactured smaller pocket tricks and even had a course in magic. Does anyone collect Zanadu or have a list of items they sold?

That's correct. Unfortunately, the only one I remember is the one that I bought which was a squared circle. I replaced the front cut out piece as the cut out was their two overlapping mountains logo. It turned out pretty nice. They did have a correspondence course. This was around 1976 as I received that and the Mark Wilson course as a graduation present.
