Buvos Porgettyu (Magic Spinner)

Hungary 1970, material polystyrene and metal, cm diameter 4,5

Hidden away in its original packaging, the 1970s Hungarian “Magic Spinner” is a little time capsule of playful science. This vintage spinning top isn’t just for fun—kids and adults alike can explore the fascinating world of magnetism while watching it spin.
The instructions are simple: place the printed metal grid on a flat surface, touch the edge with the magnetic tip of the top, and give it a spin. The polystyrene top bounces gently while the iron grid reacts in subtle, surprising ways, making physics feel like a game.

Brightly colored and built to last, the Magic Spinner captures that classic ’70s charm. It’s a reminder that some toys were more than entertainment—they were tiny lessons wrapped in joy. Seeing one still sealed in its original box feels like discovering a piece of playful history waiting to come alive.
