ORIGINAL MAGIC earned its reputation where snowstorms are the norm - upstate New York and New England. Patented in 1995:
ORIGINAL MAGIC got its start years ago at a vodka plant in Hungary. An engineer at the plant noticed a pond next to the plant never froze, even on the coldest winter days, and he wondered why.
The engineer discovered the plant was dumping the sugar liquid swill left over from the vodka distilling process into the pond. On the other side of the pond, magnesium chloride was leaching in from a farm. The combination of alcohol distillery mash and magnesium chloride, an ice melter, produced a mix that lowered the pond’s freezing point to below -45 degrees.
ORIGINAL MAGIC starts out as ordinary rock salt mixed with liquified ORIGINAL MAGIC. It’s safe for kids, pets and plantings. But it’s still powerful. ORIGINAL MAGIC works in the coldest weather conditions melting ice at -35 degrees Fahrenheit.
The mix of ingredients used in ORIGINAL MAGIC makes it 90% less corrosive than calcium chloride based products. When spring finally arrives, you’ll find your landscaping to be growing and green, not brown and dead.
Your hardscape products like stone, brick and concrete won’t be damaged. You won’t see the ugly white residue stains from the calcium chloride on steel doors, door thresholds, carpets and flooring. Everything will be just as it was before the snow and ice.
