For well over 30 years I have spent countless hours and traveled great distances rooting out and uncovering magic of all types, sometimes saving it from a sad demise of neglect in the hands of layman unfamiliar with the care impassioned collectors like myself bestow upon our gatherings.


The stories connected with the pursuit could compile into a book so numerous are the events and the reader would feel it were fiction for some of the unbelievable happenings along the way.


Even with all the items I have either owned, acquired for others or just having the opportunity of seeing in someone's collection I still get a thrill when my eyes fall upon something I've not seen before.


Living it the way I have and continuing on steadfast with all the pains and pleasures associated, I love what I do.


If you have items you think we might be interested in please contact us for more information. From a drawer full to a museum full we handle it all.


Special thanks and appreciation to all of our long time customers for your support and patronage throughout the many years of KT Magic. Your friendship and kind words have always been appreciated.

News Release

Sale of European Magic Museum

Nestled in the charming countryside by the border of Belgium and The Netherlands in the town of Baarle-Hertog stood a building full of magic treasures. This building of approximately 4,000 square feet housed the Louis Sicking Goochel Museum. Known throughout the European magic community, the museum was an awe inspiring, wondrous place of magic complete with a performance stage full of props.

This privately held magic museum of Louis Sicking had a large library of books in English, Dutch, Flemish and German language, the larger part being in English. In addition to the books were Catalogs and files of European Magic Periodicals.

The apparatus in the museum ranged from Micro-Magic to Stage Illusions with everything in-between. Display cases and shelves lining the walls held larger items in addition to countless drawer units containing Close-up and Micro-Magic. Posters, Magician's Tokens, Printing Cuts, Rare Prints, Gambling Holdouts, Unique Gimmicks and items too numerous to mention were housed in this special building. Every European magic manufacturer is represented within the holdings of the museum.

Louis Sicking, now in his 80's, began with his interest in magic as a young man buying things that interested him most. The result of his love and fascination of magic was his dream of having a museum of magic, which he accomplished.

Louis Sicking decided it was time to pass these many items on, knowing others would enjoy having the opportunity to own individual items from the museum.

The museum was sold to Kenna Thompson of KT Magic, Inc. based in Northern Kentucky. Kenna spent weeks in Europe overseeing the packing and arranging for transportation to the United States.

The huge Sea Container with its precious, priceless cargo has just arrived and its contents have now been moved to a secure, undisclosed location. In the coming months as the items are unpacked, the contents of the museum will be offered for sale.
