Our Story
Combine a world-class Canasta teacher (Laura), a talented maker (Mary Beth), and a spark of creativity (Leslie), then add the tiniest hint of mid-life crisis, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a synergistic, fired-up trio. That’s the foundation of Chick Magnets!
Together, we've cooked up the ultimate card-playing experience with our patent-pending, wind-resistant product set. If you’re a card shark at heart, you’ve probably scrambled to find anything—lipstick, phone, car keys—to pin down a winning hand in the breeze. We get it. Playing cards outside should be simple and fun, and that’s where we shine.
But our love for card games goes beyond just keeping cards on the table. In a world full of screens, there’s something irreplaceable about holding a deck of cards. Card games are a timeless tradition—bridging generations, sparking friendly competition, and creating meaningful conversation and connections. In fact, it was through card play that Chick Magnets was born. Canasta launched us into a world of unknowns and a crash course in product design, manufacturing, logistics, marketing, patent protection, and entrepreneurship.
Above all, we’ve learned to believe in our own resourcefulness, trust in our perseverance, and lean on our incredible network (thank you, thank you- you know who you are!). At Chick Magnets, we’re not just selling card gear; we are building a community. A place to share ideas, spark innovation, and celebrate the joy of playing together.
So deal yourself in and chart your own card-playing story. We'll be cheering you on every hand!
