Happenings at FUN

Last week we introduced the world to Card Magic Essentials. In keeping with the spirit of magic for the beginners, we're going to being shooting today on a new project. The Amazing Tomas will star - but that's all the hints I'm giving!

Also around the company, we're going to be revamping our Double Discount program beginning on Friday. Those of you with login accounts for FunInc.com will be able to view the bargains. Sorry consumers - dealers only!

And third, yours truly has been put in charge of our Customization Division! So anybody who needs a logo imprinted on Three Card Montes, Tel-A-Vision Boxes, or the like, you can talk to me!

Custom Magic

On my Independence Day weekend, I took a trip home to visit family in suburban Detroit. I made sure to stop by my old stomping grounds at the Wunderground Magic Shop. We've been doing business with the Wunderground for years and years, in fact, we're working on an order of custom Magic Wands (imprinted with their name and phone number).

The owner, Paul, was excited to try out FUN's custom magic services for the first time. He's so interested in it, that he made flyers to hand out to other local businesses who may be interested in obtaining new and different promotional items, aside from pens and keychains.

Does your shop promote custom magic to other business in your area? Aside from the benefits your clients will reap from having interesting promotional items, you'll open your shop to more business-to-business relationships in your community.

Have it Your Way

For the most part, Fun Inc. supplies retailers (magic shops, toy stores, novelty shops, websites) with a large line of merchandise. The Fun factory cranks out tricks and jokes and magic sets for these customers. At the core of that line are the Royal Magic tricks, sets, books and DVDs - staples that are suited for beginning and intermediate magicians.

But the Fun factory also produces custom-made and private label products: products that end up being sold under another brand name, by another company.

And Fun also manufactures tradeshow giveaways and advertising specialties: magic tricks and novelties that are used as giveaways and for promotional purposes at trade shows, fairs, in mass mailings, and elsewhere. Over the last 20+ years, since Fun started producing customized and imprinted products, it has filled orders for pharmaceutical companies, automakers, technology firms, and everything in between. Special orders have included runs of 100,000 Thumb Tip and Silk sets, millions of Three Card Monte sets (with custom logo cards), hundreds of thousands of magic sets (for Marshall Brodien, Lance Burton, Marvin's Magic, Paul Daniels, etc.). Virtually anything available in the Fun Inc. (Royal Magic) product line can be customized in one way or another.

From imprinting a company logo on an item to producing special packaging and instructions for more elaborate projects, it's all possible. In fact, on the shelves of one room on the second floor of the Fun Inc. factory, are myriad examples of projects the company has worked on.

In recent years, due to the company's capabilities as a silk-screen printer, it has manufactured thousands of gaffed cards for close-up magic tricks sold in magic shops world wide.

Do you have an idea for a product? Do you need a knowledgeable and experienced manufacturer (with a domestic factory!) to manufacture, package and warehouse a product for you. Look no further!
