On this day in 1949, our founders Albert Stoner and his son Dick opened up “Stoner’s Magic Shop” for business!

We may be old, but we still know how to have a good time!

We’ve been lucky to spend 74 magical years in Fort Wayne, and we’re excited to be with you for many more.

1950 GE article

May 18, 2023 post by grandson Colin Haines on True Fort Wayne Indiana History on Facebook:

An article from 1950 about three of the magicians who worked for GE! Ed Gallmeier, Tom Rockhill, and Al Stoner. The article mentions Dick Stoner, but doesn’t tell you that he worked at GE for a bit as well!

A #ThrowbackThursday AND Fun Fact for today! Did you know that for a few months before we began operations at our current downtown location in May 1949, Albert Stoner sold magic out of his basement at 1321 Dubois St (where Memorial Park Middle School now stands!)
