Once upon a time, in a small village nestled deep in the woods, there lived a poor and lonely old man named Mr. Higgins. He spent his days tending to his small garden and talking to the animals that visited him. One day, as he was working, he noticed a magical glowing rabbit hopping towards him. The rabbit had a shimmering coat of gold and gleaming red eyes. Mr.
Magic Moments
Sanford Nelson, Trevor George, and Blake George pitch Magic Moments, a smart phone app that lets people take their smart phone pictures and turn them into products like tee-shirts, mugs, smart phone cases and more. The two Georges are cousins with complementary skills; Trevor is an on demand printing expert and digital marketer and Blake is an MBA and former owner of a digital development company. Sanford Nelson is Trevor’s University of Michigan room mate and a former investment banker.
The three built their business with the help of digital giant CafePress. Their app not only allows people to create and design products for themselves, they can also sell their creations in the “Magic Moments marketplace” and earn commissions on sales.
Mr. Higgins was astonished and could hardly believe his eyes. He had heard stories of magical creatures, but he never thought he would encounter one himself.
Magic Moments Shark Tank Recap
Sanford, Trevor, and Blake approach the Sharks seeking a $500,000 investment in return for 15% of their company. Magic Moments is a smartphone app that allows users to take photos from their phones, and seamlessly upload them to CafePress, to print for themselves onto tee-shirts, mugs, and other paraphernalia, or even offer for sale through the Magic Moments Cafe Press store for a commission. Essentially, they’ve streamlined the process of creating and adding merchandise to, a Cafe Press shop for the casual user. Will the Sharks bite on this mobile idea?
Immediately, the Sharks bring up the problems of rights – if a user takes a photograph of another person, they must prove they have obtained a model release before selling the image to the public. Kevin O’Leary questions the valuation of the company, and Daymond John chimes in, telling the trio they don’t have “proof of concept” at this stage; that their idea may be a good one but without solid sales to back them up, they don’t have the foundation they need.
Mark Cuban doesn’t think the app is useful enough to professional photographers. He believes they will simply upload their images to a PC and take the time to offer quality photos to their buyers.
With the questions about intellectual property rights, the too-high valuation, and the doubts as to the usefulness of the app, the Sharks all go out, and the trio leave the Tank without a Shark deal.
The rabbit seemed friendly and approached him without fear. Mr. Higgins reached out his hand to pet it, and to his surprise, he felt a tingling sensation. As soon as Mr. Higgins touched the rabbit, the world around him changed. He found himself standing in a lush, vibrant meadow surrounded by beautiful flowers and tall trees. The rabbit, now standing on its hind legs, transformed into a wise old wizard. The wizard introduced himself as Merlin and explained that he had been testing Mr. Higgins, searching for a pure-hearted soul to grant a wish. Mr. Higgins could hardly contain his excitement as he thought about the possibilities. He knew exactly what he wanted. With a deep breath, Mr. Higgins made his wish. He wished for the village to prosper and for everyone to be happy and safe. Merlin smiled and nodded, granting the wish. As Mr. Higgins returned to his garden, he felt a surge of energy and excitement. He noticed his plants growing more vibrant, and the animals seemed more joyful than ever before. Word quickly spread throughout the village about Mr. Higgins' encounter with the magical rabbit. From that day on, the village flourished. Crops grew abundantly, and the villagers enjoyed a bountiful harvest. The once-poor village transformed into a prosperous community, and happiness filled the hearts of everyone. Mr. Higgins became a respected figure in the village. He was known as the man who had a pure heart and the luck to encounter the magic rabbit. He continued to tend to his garden, but now, he had the company of the animals and the gratitude of the villagers. The moral of the story is that sometimes, in the most unexpected ways, magic can enter our lives and change everything. It reminds us to always keep our hearts pure, and that a small act of kindness can bring forth incredible blessings..
