(January 26th, 1918 - November 2nd, 2006)
James Swoger was an American magician, magic dealer, and author. He started Regow's House of Enchantment in 1937, which his mother managed. (Regow's was Swoger spelled backward.) An early pioneer of manufacturing magic tricks from plastic materials, Swoger was one of the largest makers of retail magic in the 1950s. He also produced various mental and magic effects for sale through Ed Mellon in the early 1950s.
James is recognized as the originator of the Tricky Bottles effect and several others.
