Born Heinz Nikolas “Nick” Stolk in The Hague, Holland, he derived his magic stage name from his service in the Dutch Air Force as a “Marconist” (radio operator). He was a prolific inventor of over 100 marketed tricks.

His inventions include: Silken Bombshell (by 1959), Continuous Production of Silks, Fountain of Silks, Streamer Blendo, Two Way Blendo, Silk in Knot, Instant Rope Through Neck, Tire Illusion (for Michelin Tyre Company, Amsterdam), Prisoner Silk, Flying Silks, Rising Aces, Marconick’s Card Change, and many more.

He wrote “A Man and a 1000 Scarfs,” “Marconick’s Silk Magic” (1964), “Marconick’s Unique Silk Magic” (1970), and “Marconick’s Original Magic” (7 vols, 1967-1982). Sadly, no longer with us, this photo captures a very unique act.
