items are depicted in this catalog.
Floyd Thayer was ahead of his time back in the early 1900�s. His high-qualityprops and illusions were at the top of all American manufacturers of magic. Andall popular magicians of that era frequented Floyd�s premises as often as theycould to see what�s new, what�s causing public interest, and his shop was THEplace for all professional and semi-professional artists in magic world!
His wood turning of ball vases and other wood magic props still stands unequaled,even by today�s high technology. Floyd sold the Studio of Magic to Carl andEmmett Owen in 1933. He kept his retail business and renamed it; �ThayerStudio of Magic�. In 1942, he sold the Thayer Studio of Magic to theLarsen family, (The Famous Magic Castle).
And the Larsens purchased Floyd and Jennie�s home as well. The Thayers tradedtheir house for what was then the Larsen house. After the Larsens� ownership,the business was sold to John Daniel and Carl Owen. As time went by, eventually,the name of Owen-Thayer again was sold to Les Smith, who to this day, eventhough Les Smith passed away some years ago, it is still owned by his family withAlan Zagorsky heading the operation. Alan is still very busy building illusions formajor performers as well as theme parks around the country. Alan is one of thegood guys and has continued the high quality standards set by Floyd Thayer yearsago. Many of the smaller props that were first made by Floyd are still made today.
If you are a first comer to Owen Magic Supreme, you well may be shocked at theprices the effects sell for, as a result of so many inferior magic props that come infrom all over the world! There is no question that the quality of Thayer Magic wasat a different level from much of the magic made throughout the world.
For those of you who know... Thayer-Owen Magic has no equal with regard toquality and superior uniqueness! Expensive yes, but as Floyd Thayer said yearsago... �Quality is remembered longer after price is forgotten.�
Floyd Thayer was a gentle, quiet, confident man who was known to be frugal.However, magic dealers aside, there were no discounts on his apparatus. Friendswere friends, but business was business!
The years 1902 to 1942 were the years that Thayer-Owen dominated the magicworld. Floyd passed away on July 29, 1959, but his legacy continues with wonders,beautiful, high-quality magic that collectors still seek out today.
