Treasure Chest

The Treasure Chest (AKA Baer’s Treasure Chest) was a unique novelty shop and arcade located in Chicago. It had a magic counter where renowned magician Ed Marlo worked, and upstairs was Abbott’s Pro Shop, managed by Don Alan. The shop was a hub for magic enthusiasts and even had connections to Okito, a famous magician and inventor.

The front of the store was filled with gag gifts and novelties, while the back housed arcade games, creating a blend of entertainment and wonder. It was a memorable spot for both magic and arcade lovers.
