One popular cleaning tool that many people rely on is the magic eraser. It’s a versatile sponge-like cleaner that can remove tough stains and marks from various surfaces. However, the magic erasers can be quite expensive, especially if you use them frequently. The good news is that there are inexpensive alternatives that can replace the magic eraser. One of the most effective and affordable alternatives is a melamine sponge. These sponges work similarly to magic erasers, as they are made of a dense foam-like material that can scrub away dirt and grime.
Matias owes his magic to his uncle!
E very love has its beginning, and Matias Letelier’s began in early 2005—perhaps almost a decade earlier when he discovered for the first time the mind twister games (like separate two nails!). He immediately fell for this ingenious apparatus.
The first magic box Matias encountered belonged to his older brother, Julio—who said “Thanks” but looked elsewhere for adventure. Matias could not resist, and this is how everything started. Very fast he learned how to manipulate the basic elements of a good trick: cards, bills and other illusions. At a young age, he discovered a talent for amazing people.
(Jorge Barriga Tuñón 1962-2004)
In his college days, when Matias was pursuing his Business and Marketing Degree, a terrible family accident took place and his uncle, Jorge Barriga (photo on the left), who was a great magician on his twenties, died. Matias inherited part of his uncle’s magic library. That was the moment he decided to take his hobbyist’s interest in magic to the professional level fusing it with his knowledge of business and marketing.
So he studied his Uncle Jorge’s books and learned the arts of Theory, Promotional Magic, Corporate Magic, Theatrical Magic, Psychology in Magic, Kids Magic and Communication Skills. Then he developed his show, an immersive experience in which guests become part of the magic. Why? Because magic is not about the magician… it is about performer and audience together letting their imaginations flow with one astonishing effect after the next.
With everything Matias learned in business school, he started his entertainment business in Chile where he performed for thousands of people at private parties, clubs, schools and corporate events. At a young age, he became one of that nation’s most popular magicians. He joined the Chilean Magic Circle, an association of professionals, and rapidly became an influential magician who gave lectures both in marketing and in children’s magic.

In his shows there is always one trick magician Matias will do to honor the memory of his uncle! This is his way of saying “thank you Uncle George, wherever you are”. Check it out on your show!

She did the magic on him not the other way!
H owever, destiny had other plans for Matias, and it was in 2008 when he met Marlana, a lovely woman from the USA, who went down to Chile to study abroad for a year. They met and rapidly became good friends. While Marlana helped Matias improve his English, Matias did the same with her Spanish. They traveled together back and forward from the USA to Chile until, two years later, and only after Matias got her parents’ approval, they got engaged in 2010. At this point Matias left in Chile not only his family and friends, but also a successful magician’s career, to come to the USA and start again from zero! And wouldn’t you have done the same if you met the love of your life?

He received amazing help from his friend Bryan Lizotte, who has been a great friend ever since.

Reviews for "Tired of spending money on magic erasers? Try these low-cost alternatives"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with this inexpensive magic eraser replacement. It claimed to be just as effective as the original brand but it fell short in every way. The sponge was not as durable and started falling apart after just a few uses. The cleaning power was also lacking as it wasn't able to remove stubborn stains like the original. Overall, I wouldn't recommend wasting your money on this product.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I had high hopes for this inexpensive magic eraser replacement, but unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. The sponge felt cheap and flimsy and was not able to effectively clean any of the surfaces I tried it on. It also didn't last very long before it started disintegrating. I ended up having to purchase the original brand anyway, so this was a complete waste of money for me.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I bought this inexpensive magic eraser replacement thinking it would save me some money, but it was a big disappointment. The sponge was not very effective at removing stains and marks, and I had to scrub much harder compared to the original brand. It also didn't last very long, which was a letdown. I would recommend sticking to the tried and true original magic eraser instead of wasting your money on this subpar replacement.
4. Michael - 2 stars - I usually buy generic versions of products to save some money, but this inexpensive magic eraser replacement was a letdown. The sponge was not as sturdy as the original and didn't hold up well during use. It also didn't have the same cleaning power and struggled to remove tough stains. I would rather spend a bit more money on the original brand for better results.
