The Photo-Magic was a 4x6.5 bakelite camera, made in black or wine. It was very simple, around the meniscus lens was only marked Photo-Magic and No 4065, always the same! It had a time and instant shutter. On some, it was marked P and I, some other were marked T and I and had British made inside the back. There was also an identical Photo-Miami camera.
It looks a little like the original MIOM camera. Vial dates it from 1948, and McKeown lists it under the Boumsell entry. It is discussed in more detail by Sylvain Halgand on his Photo-Magic page.
