Reva's Hologram Store - A Top Mirage Reseller for Ten Years

We asked Reva and Bob Krick to share with us
their experience gained from 10 years of Mirage retailing:

"We are located in Frankenmuth, Michigan (pop. 9,400). This year we had about 3,500,000 tourists visit our city from all over the world. Last week a couple from Kentucky visited our gallery. While in conversation with them they mentioned that on their last trip to Frankenmuth (eight years ago), they purchased a Mirage, and are still having fun with it today. Comments similar to this are not uncommon.
"Having handled the Mirage bowls since we opened our gallery ten years ago, we find them to be a 'sell itself item.' We have two Mirages on display. They are located in different areas of the store. One is in a position where all customers can view it, while the other is by the register. You would be surprised how many sell as a last minute pick-up, as they notice it on their way out of the store.
"It has been a pleasure working with your company. Keep up the good work!"

— Reva and Bob Krick, Reva's Holograms, Frankenmuth, MI

"We often get customers returning for a 'neat and unusual' gift (Mirage). It does make a lasting impression."
— Connee Bretz, Miami Musem of Science,
Miami, Florida

"It is not unusual for people to purchase
four to six pieces at a time."
— John Cameron, Old Colorado Music Box Shop,
Colorado Springs, CO

"People are fascinated by the illusion the Mirage creates, and I consider it to be one of the items you can always find in my Museum Store."
— Myrna R. Douglas, Omniplex Museum Store,
Oklahoma City, OK

"Mirage has always been our most unique product. We have displayed it close to our register and it always generates astonished looks and comments."
— Eileen Farber, Scientific Wizardry,
Boise, Idaho

"Our Mirage, located at the entrance of our scence store, fascinates everyone who walks through the door! We cater to many school groups, and the children are very shocked when they reach for Miss Piggy and she's not there! 'How'd they do that?' is the most common reply…then they want to take it apart to see how it works!"
— Joanne Beall, Discovery Center of Idaho,
Boise, Idaho

"The Opti-Gone Mirage is one of a select few items that we keep on our magic counter and display. You know how everyone touches everything? That's one item we want them to touch. We've had a lot of fun with it."

— Anie Parrish, Queen of Hearts Magic Shop,
Plano, Texas

"A small child no more than two years old, tried to pick up the pig. She got the cutest grin on her face; she tried again and still had another grin. After trying several more times, she tried to bring her hand under the pig, to no avail. But she still had the grin and never got discouraged."

— Susan Goans, Cargo Bay Gift Store,
Kansas Cosmosphere, Hutchison, Kansas

"We've been selling the Mirage for 18 years. Young and old are intrigued by it. Kids stop by on the way home from school to share the Mirage experience with friends. We've shipped them all over the US, and to Europe and Africa, too. We look forward to keeping a Mirage on our counter for the next 25 years."
— Dina Berger, Age of Reason, Westport, CT
