The Magicians (band)

The band performed regularly at the Cinderella club in the Greenwich Village, and released one obscure single, the Bristow-penned "My Love", on Atlantic Records, in 1964.

[1] Gordon co-wrote the song "An Invitation to Cry" with non-member, Jimmy Woods, and demoed it, after being discovered by record producers Bob Wyld and Art Polhemus, with Jacobs and Appel.

[2] It became a regional hit, and received a wider notice when the song resurfaced on the 1972 compilation album, Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968.

[3] Appel departed the Tex and the Chex, later worked in the Balloon Farm, composed their hit, "A Question of Temperature", which charted at number 37, and managed Bruce Springsteen early in his career.

[4] The Magicians made a name for itself by replacing the Lovin' Spoonful as the house band at the Night Owl club, even gaining interest from future Mountain bassist and Cream producer Felix Pappalardi, but the addition never materialized.
