My story…

Born & raised in Cumberland, Maryland, a small town that is nestled in a valley of the great Appalachian Mountains, is where my love for creating items out of wood & metal began.

At the early age of eight, my parents gave me a set of wood carving tools for Christmas. My father, worried that I would cut my fingers off, showed me the proper & safe way to used hand & power tools. By the age of twelve, my interest in magic began and the two merged into one.

While in junior & senior high school, my favorite classes were the wood, metal & drafting shops.

I studied & worked under master magician & craftsman, James Swoger (House of Enchantment - Somerset, PA), learning the magic manufacturing business from top to bottom.

During the Summer of 1975, in the basement of my parent’s home, “Windy’s House of Mystery” was born. Using money I earned from my paper route, I purchased several used power tools, and I was in business.

In 1980, a need for more space and a growing business, a new workshop was built by my father & I. The name of the business was changed to “Louis Paul Productions”.

Over the years I have created, designed & custom-built magic props for magicians & entertainers from all over the world.

From the start, my mission was to supply the finest handcrafted equipment possible. And that is still my mission today.
