A Modern Classic... THEATRE OF MAGIC!
1995 Bally/Williams

One of my personal favorites... the mega-collectable... THEATRE OF MAGIC!  This game was produced in 1995 by Bally/Williams, creator of the greatest pinball machines of the 80's and 90's.  Theatre of Magic is simply one of the GREATEST PINBALL MACHINES EVER CREATED!  It has so many features and such a fabulous ruleset that it is on most pinball collectors top-ten best games of all time.  What better theme to use for a pinball machine than magic and illusions?  I have NEVER met anyone that did not like the great magic shows of the past or present and this pinball machine truly brings those spectacles to life.  There simply cannot be enough good things said about this game.  It's simply AMAZING!

Listen to the eerily fantastic soundtrack as you plunge your ball up the ramp to the Theatre entrance.  Go for the MAGIC trunk... if you can hit it three times, it will spin around to reveal a secret entrance to start your first ILLUSION!  There are multiple illusions to complete such as the Tiger Saw, Hat Magic, Levitating Woman, Spirit Cards, Safe Escape and MORE!  Blast the center targets and spell "MAGIC" to reveal the secret ball locks.  Lock two balls and watch the trunk spin again to reveal a spiral design.  Shoot the spiral and see your ball LEVITATE and DISAPPEAR to start the three-ball MULTI-BALL FRENZY!  There's also a TRAP-DOOR that will rise from the playfield.  Hit the ball into it and get a MYSTERY AWARD!  Try to complete the THEATRE letters and advance the clock too, which will reveal the WIZARD MODE for HUGE scoring possibilities!  Check out the video mode that allows you to play video-pinball right on the dot-matrix display to win EXTRA BALLS!  There is also a HOKUS-POKUS outlane ball-save feature that will mystify you!  Those features are just the beginning.  You have multiple ramps, ball scoops, spinners, stationary targets, roll-overs, pop-bumpers, slingshots, kickout saucers, loop shots and more!  With all of the features of this mega-classic, you will NEVER get bored with it!  The popular and FAMILY FRIENDLY theme goes great in any home gameroom!

The collectable games are getting harder to find every day and you just don't come across Theatre of Magic games in this condition every day!  The playfield on this game is in fabulous original condition and the original factory clear-coat is intact and shines like glass.  The ramps and plastics are in excellent condition with very few chips or cracks.  The backglass translight is in beautiful condition!  The cabinet is in excellent condition with no fade and very few blemishes which have been expertly touched-up.  The entire cabinet has been clear-coated and the coin door has been refinished.  See below for the full list of what has been done to this game.  This Theatre of Magic plays lightning fast just like it did in 1995!
