Hi! This is Mike Danata, from Mike Danata's Magic Studio in Bournemouth U.K. Just to let everyone know, that Repro 71 the Magic Company owned by Geoff Maltby, has now ceased trading.

I can confirm that I now have all the copyrights on tricks/books etc that were still owned by Repro Magic (many which were acquired from the Harry Stanley Studio, years ago) which formed the basis of the Repro business.

The rights includes all published effects & articles from Club 71 Magazine & The Magician etc.

I also have acquired all the remaining stocks from the business formerly known as Repro 71.

Geoff has been forced to bow out because of recent health issues.

A little of "Repro Magic" will live alongside Mike Danata's Magic Studio, as we reintroduce some real gems of magic, that just may have been forgotten about! (especially with so many "New" items coming out these days, on an almost daily basis!)

I shall have my work cut out over the next few months, to introduce the items into our already HUGE range! so keep checking the website.....

I've known Geoff for over 30 years, & as a professional performer I turned to Geoff to buy much of what I performed professionally, often buying all the latest items, in an age when there wasn't so many people dealing in magic, like there is now! also with a much more limited (hand picked) range!

I'm both excited by what I have acquired, & very sad because of the end of an era.

I would like to take this opportunity, to wish Geoff & his partner William all the very best for the future................

Mike Danata
