How it started

History

In 1926, Laurie L. Ireland founded the Ireland Magic Company. Following Ireland's death in 1954, James "Jay" Ward Marshall married his widow, Frances Ireland, and took ownership of the business.

In 1963, Jay Marshall and Frances Ireland Marshall relocated and incorporated the business as Magic, Inc.

Frances Ireland Marshall died at the age of 92 on May 26, 2002, and Jay Marshall died in 2005. His son, Alexander "Sandy" Marshall, subsequently took ownership of the company.
