Where is Chu's Magic ??? They used to market all types of magic products including rings, strings and many more.

It was very popular for many years then they vanished without any news. Does anybody what happened to them?

According to Google, they were a Hong Kong toy company.

Here's something I found. http://iglobalhk.com/cprofile.php?id=740

I have not read if they are still in operation, I will leave that for you to find out.

I have been searching google for Chu's Magic for couple of years. The website www.callomega.cc mentioned in the above website which is not functional.
Chu's Magic had their youtube which gave their regular updates.

Chu's Magic made some pretty good props - along with some of the usual tat.

I've still got one of their Jardine Ellis Rings; and saw one on ebay quite recently, along with an Okito Box.

One other memory that springs to mind was an effect called 'Surprise Card' (if my memory serves me right) - a well made Jumbo Card switching sleeve.

I'm not sure they'll ever fetch the price of rare Tenyo items - but they are a happy memory from my childhood.

Top marks to whomever was responsible for their instruction sheet translations into English - some were absolutely hilarious!

I remember so much about Chu's dynamic coin. It's made from plastic.

Chu's magic has closed their operation in 2016 because of the retirement of Mr. Peter Chu

Thank you for the update on Chu's Magic

Their products and instructions were very nice. They created an identity which will live forever.

I’ve been searching for their version of the classic Color Vision.
