Permanent Markers

What's so "MAGIC" about Magic Markers? (i just got the school supply list)!?

I think I am going to make a magic car and some of the models will be the Hudini, Blaine and Copperfield...

1. I imagine when they first came on the market there was nothing like them. Can you imagine going from crayons to magic markers...so they would seem like magic the way they glide across the paper.....way before your time though.
2. LMAO...yes I have always wondered about this too....I just know that as a parent I like to make them disappear as quickly as I can after my children receive them....LOL
3. The fact that such bright colors are coming out of them. Also because at one point in time they never existed and they where original and exciting when they first came on the market. Therefore the term Magic Maker was thought appropriate.
4. Before magic markers you had crayons. Crayons had to be sharpened. Or you had fingerpaints. They were messy, and you had to keep dipping. Magic markers just keep going - like magic!
5. The teachers use that term to put a picture in the minds of the parent, to what kind of marker is needed, You can purchase different markers like the magic with thick wide tips.
6. Hahaha...I'll take a Blaine LX with the optional power steering please. After a quick search I couldn't tell what the phrase actually means, but I would guess it was pretty cool when they figured out how to get a bunch of "paint" in a small cylinder that you didn't have to add water to...don't you think it might have been a little "magic?" Just guessing. And when should I expect my car?
7. LOL...there's nothing magical about it...hihihihi...if only I can make all my drawing come true using the magic marker.....
