Fred and Vida Haenchen were Haenchen Magic, the builders of some very nice magical equipment.  I remember Mom and Dad telling me how difficult it was to save up the big money needed to buy their first Illusion, the Haenchen Doll House!  It cost a whopping $100!!!  Wow!

​Check out Episode #1 of Allakazam, the premiere show on Oct. 1st 1960 to see the illusion.

There's plenty more to come, and a lot more stories to tell.  But this note was important to share.  Hope you like it.

Also, please do not republish, link to, or share this particular content outside of our Allakazam Archive community and site.  Let's respect the authors and their families in the same way we would appreciate being respected ourselves.  And in light of that, we will remove your own personal letter if you so request.  These postings and comments are monitored and we will do our best to maintain a fun, family friendly site for all to enjoy!

Best Allaka-Magical Wishes,

About the author

  • Do they still have the dollhouse? Fred and Vida are my great grandparents and our family has been looking for one to have for a long time!!

    • How wonderful to hear from you, Ivy! Yes, we have the Doll House, it was the first illusion that my folks purchased, and I believe it cost a huge $100. Lots of money back then.
      Can you confirm what they sold for? I have not found the receipt yet! Best Wishes, Greg
