Theatre of Magic (1995)
Theatre of Magic is a pinball machine from March 1995, manufactured by Bally Manufacturing Co. This game was designed by John Popadiuk and features many of his design staples such as magnets, a bash toy, and elaborate ramps. Theatre of Magic is based on an unlicensed magic theme where the goal is to perform eight different magic tricks and then complete a rather simple wizard mode. There are numerous side goals such as spelling “Theatre” and advancing the clock to Midnight Madness (not to be confused with the midnight madness featured in some other Bally/WMS games), as well as a video mode featuring a virtual pinball game.
David Sez:
I played Theatre of Magic in New Zealand and Amsterdam. It rates as one of the Top Ten games of all time. It has magnets, a bash toy, and elaborate ramps and the goal is to perform eight different magic tricks and become a wizard. This is a great game. Got one to sell or trade?
