Fort Magic is a fort building kit, the only of its kind to include straight and curved sticks and a large variety of building connectors (354!). Each kit comes with a manual that includes 17 fort designs (rockets, spaceships, pirate ships, castles, etc.) and 100 snap-on fabric clips to attach sheets or blankets to the fort.
The founder of Fort Magic, Erika Pope of Sarasota, Florida, pitched her business on Shark Tank in April 2014. She went into the Tank seeking an investment of $75,000 in exchange for 15 percent equity. Pope received an offer of $75,000 for 50 percent equity from Robert Herjavec but she declined and, alas, walked out of the Tank without a deal.
As of December 31, 2018, The Fort Magic Fort Building Kit is sold out and is “currently on backorder” on the company website — however, there are a number of sets available on Amazon (SEE IMAGE AND LINK ABOVE). The reviews of the Fort Magic product are outstanding. Fort Magic, which just celebrated its seventh year in business, also makes a less expensive Knights & Dragons Castles Starter Set (a kit that includes 12 Knights & Dragons Castles modular fabric cover pieces). New episodes of Shark Tank air Sunday nights on ABC. [27 Favorite ‘Shark Tank’ Products at Amazon — New List]
