THE REELMAGIK FAMILY
LGBTQ OWNED AND OPERATED, IN THE U.S.A.
We'd like to introduce all of our team members. We've been working together for so long, and have become so close, that we all think of one another as family. And some of us actually are! But aside from that, we want you to feel as though you know us as well. After all, our products are essentially a part of you, and there's a little bit of each one of us in every product. We like to think that makes you part of our family too!
OUR TEAM MEMBERS
THE REELMAGIK STORY.
BEGINNINGS.
REELMAGIK, LLC, as you know it today, was founded in 2008 and is located just outside of Reading, Pennsylvania. REELMAGIK PROSTHETICS is a company that was built on quality and realism, driven by the ingenuity & artistry of its staff, and one which thrives on the satisfaction of its customers. Reelmagik is owned and operated fully by LGBTQ individuals & allies.
The company origins were based in film and tv (hence the film "reel" in Reelmagik). Realized in 2001, REELMAGIK focused mainly on special effects for the film and tv industry. In 2008, we shifted our focus to mainly makeup effects and silicone prosthetics, and soon after, "transitioned" into the Transmasc-centric store as it is today.
Reelmagik LLC, is owned and operated by Jesse. Many of our employees and artists are close friends and family. Jesse founded the company, and is the creator of many of the unique techniques applied to the prosthetics in the store. He is also a master painter and sculpted most of the original products.
A NEW PRODUCT WAS BORN.
In late September of 2009, Dan, who is a longtime friend of Jesse's (and happens to be transmasc, female to male transgender), came to us and posed us with a challenge. He asked if we would be able to create an extremely realistic looking and feeling prosthetic penis for himself and the transmasc community. Confident we would be able to create something far more advanced than what was currently available, we accepted the challenge and got to work experimenting with various materials and methods. We pioneered new techniques that had not yet been done in the trans prosthetic industry (multi-layered movable silicone prosthetic skin, free-floating movable testicles in a liquid silicone gel), as well as created new product features that did not yet exist (the Flex Rod). These incredible and innovative features we imagined have since become standard in the prosthetic industry. We also applied and improved silicone painting techniques to create an ultra-realistic translucent skin. The resulting product, while pale in comparison to the prosthetics we have introduced since, was a major improvement over current offerings in the trans community. Dan was thrilled with the product, and encouraged us to offer it to the rest of the trans community. Taking his advice, we began offering the product in our special effects makeup store, and has since become one of many amazing popular models available in our prosthetic lineup.
In closing, we would like to thank our employees and artists for all their hard work and dedication. We also thank each and every one of our customers. Without you, REELMAGIK would not have become what it is today.
