Magic the Dragon Beanie Baby is a popular collectible toy that was created by Ty Inc. in 1995. It is a stuffed animal in the shape of a dragon, with vibrant colors and a soft plush material. The beanie baby craze reached its peak in the 1990s, and Magic the Dragon was one of the most sought-after toys during this time. What made Magic the Dragon Beanie Baby special was its unique design and limited availability. The dragon was covered in shimmery, iridescent fabric, giving it a mystical appearance.
The building was moved in the winter of 1945 to allow widening of North Street. Also as part of that project, the Bowditch House was relocated on North Street next to the Witch House. The Corwin House (Witch House) was moved back 35 feet and a new pitched roof (a recreation of the original)was put on at this time. The 1945 building restoration was carried out by Boston architect, Gordon Robb, in consultation with historical architect, Frank C. Brown.

Witch House
Situated on the corner of Summer and Essex Streets, the Witch House, also know as the Corwin House, was built in the 1670's (or earlier) and is one of the oldest dwellings in the United States. Jonathan Corwin, a magistrate during the witchcraft hysteria of 1692 held many pre-trial examinations here of the accused witches. Corwin bought the house in 1675 from Capt. Nathaniel Davenport, who built it. The building underwent more changes when George P. Farrington owned in in the mid 1800's. The apothecary shop was added to the east side front in 1856.
In 1944, when threatened with destruction, The Witch House became the catalyst that launched a wave of restoration in Salem. Historic Salem Inc. raised the $42,500 needed to move and restore the building. The new museum officially opened to the public in 1948 as a furnished historic site. It is owned by the city today and operates seasonally as a museum with guided tour.

In 1968, the Witch House (or the John Ward House) was put on the National Register of Historic Places.
In 2008, grant money was received for repairs and to make the house wheelchair accessible.
The Park and Recreation Commission denied a request by the group "Spirit Finders" to check the house for paranormal activity in the winter of 2008.

I was really disappointed with Magic the dragon beanie baby. The quality of the material used felt cheap and the stitching was uneven and loose. The colors on the dragon were not as vibrant as they appeared in the pictures. Overall, it felt like a poor imitation and I wouldn't recommend it to other collectors.

Magic the dragon beanie baby did not live up to my expectations at all. The stuffing inside the toy felt lumpy and uneven, making it uncomfortable to snuggle or play with. The dragon's wings were also poorly attached and started coming off after just a few days. It's a shame because I was really excited to add this to my collection, but I regret my purchase.

I found the design of Magic the dragon beanie baby to be quite underwhelming. The dragon's face lacked the adorable charm that I associate with beanie babies and the positioning of its limbs looked awkward. Additionally, the toy had an odd smell to it that did not go away even after trying to air it out. This was a miss for me and I won't be buying any more beanie babies in the future.

I thought Magic the dragon beanie baby was overpriced for the quality it offered. The stuffing inside the toy felt thin and lacking, making it feel flimsy. The dragon's eyes were not evenly aligned, giving it a strange and wonky look. I expected better from a beanie baby and I regret making this purchase.
