Bounce magic is a term that is not commonly used or recognized in any particular context or field. It is a combination of two words: "bounce" and "magic." The word "bounce" typically refers to the action of an object rebounding or springing back after hitting a surface. It can also be used metaphorically to describe resilience, energy, or liveliness. In sports or physics, the term "bounce" is often associated with balls or elastic materials. On the other hand, "magic" usually relates to supernatural or mystical phenomena that cannot be explained by natural laws.
“[It’s] extremely disheartening, feels very much like we've been kicked in the gut,” Tim Wood, the owner of both Bounce Magic in Hamburg and Amherst.
Bounce Magic in Amherst has now permanently closed its doors because rent was piling up and no dollars were coming in because of the COVID shut down. Bounce Magic in Amherst has now permanently closed its doors because rent was piling up and no dollars were coming in because of the COVID shut down.

Why are some indoor entertainment places open while others aren't?

“[It’s] extremely disheartening, feels very much like we've been kicked in the gut,” Tim Wood, the owner of both Bounce Magic in Hamburg and Amherst.
Bounce Magic in Amherst has now permanently closed its doors because rent was piling up and no dollars were coming in because of the COVID shut down.
“It just got to the point that like this is un-surmountable as a local business with not very deep pockets,” said Wood.
But they're still waiting for when the state will allow the reopening of their Hamburg location. Yet other businesses, very similar to Bounce Magic, like get air in Tonawanda are open.
“It made me angry. Very self-controlled anger from within. I was like how is it that you can keep making money but I'm being told and monitored to make sure I'm not making money,” said Wood.
So why are some places similar to bounce magic open and others aren’t?
“People say to me aren’t you a part of phase four? and I say yes part of phase four point we don't know when because literally our entire industry has been forgotten,” Wood said.
Billy Beez posted on its Facebook page saying they're working to modify their facility so they can reopen at 30% capacity, which is the same capacity as gyms.
This has a representative from the Governor's office thinking some indoor entertainment places are reopening under the guise of a gym, but that's not allowed. According to the Governor's office, by definition, trampoline parks and the like are not considered gyms in New York state.
Jack Sterne, administration spokesperson, issued this statement: "Opening these businesses during a global pandemic is reckless and shows a disturbing indifference to New Yorkers' health and safety. These businesses are high-risk for the spread of COVID-19 and opening them is a slap in the face to those who have sacrificed over the last six months to stop the spread. We thank the businesses that have been complying with the state's rules -- and are taking immediate action to close these those that are illegally open."
Wood will keep waiting for the day he can open the right way.
“Our Hamburg location is set up. You walk in there's a sign that says mask on. You see the social distancing. You see it's all set up and ready to go,” Wood said.

When combining these two words, "bounce magic" may imply a sense of enchantment or wonder associated with the action of bouncing or rebounding. It could potentially refer to an extraordinary or unexpected occurrence that brings joy or surprise, similar to the feeling one might experience while watching a magic trick. Furthermore, "bounce magic" could serve as a metaphor for resilience and the ability to spring back from challenges or setbacks. It could represent the idea of finding strength and positivity in difficult situations, just as an object bounces back after hitting a surface. However, since "bounce magic" is not a widely recognized term, its precise meaning would depend on the specific context in which it is used. It is possible that it could describe a specific technique, product, or concept in a particular field that is not commonly known. Without additional information or context, it is challenging to provide a more specific interpretation of "bounce magic.".

1. Laura - 1-star rating - Bounce Magic Amherst was a huge disappointment for me and my family. The facility was dirty and not well-maintained, with sticky floors and a strong odor throughout. The staff seemed disinterested and not engaged with the customers. The bounce houses themselves were old and worn-out, with some showing signs of being patched up. The inflatable slides were also underwhelming, as they lacked sufficient padding and support, causing a few children to slide down too fast and land hard on the ground. Overall, I would not recommend Bounce Magic Amherst to anyone looking for a clean and safe playtime experience.

The seating area for parents was uncomfortable, with old and worn-out chairs. The food options were subpar, with limited choices and overpriced items.
