The Magiclick, an Argentine invention

El magick is a spark lighter that has a piezoelectric device through which a certain voltage is generated, which ignites a flame of gas.

This famous lighter, popularly known as «magick«, Is a product invented in Argentina by the famous Hugo Kogan in 1963, who at that time held the position of Director of the design department of the Aurora company.

The advertising was very famous at the time of its launch, since it presumed that due to its quality and duration it promised 104 years of use.

The truth is that the magiclick, in the vast majority of Argentine kitchens, came to occupy a leading role, displacing other models of wooden lighters and matches so widely used until now.

Today they can continue to be purchased and many say that in quality no other lighter has managed to surpass it.

Despite the advancement of kitchens, with electronic ignition, the magiclick is in incredible demand. In any neighborhood bazaar or hardware store it is possible to get one for an affordable price.

Better tell us your own experience, is there a magiclick in your kitchen?

    Hugo Kogan did not invent the Magiclick ... He bought it.
    Ask him how he invented it? I know the true history of the magiclick and how the invention came about.
    It was thanks to a grandmother who couldn't cook….
