I was born with a birth defect on my right arm and scoliosis (curvature of the spine). After several years of wearing a brace to try and correct the curvature failed this led to a spinal fusion operation of the lower third of my spine at age 7. Aside from growth being stunted 4-6 inches between my waist and chest I was able to live a normal life. 

Always being very active playing tennis and golf I saw a steady increase in my ibuprofen intake in my thirties for lower back pain and upper back spasms. In 1999, I read an article about NBA star Alonzo Mourning having to miss the entire season and possible forced retirement due to a kidney problem originally diagnosed as a result of simply taking the same over the counter pain medications that I was taking.  I was shocked to say the least and immediately began searching for alternative medical solutions.  

Having never tried magnets (too hokie for me) I was desperate. During the same time in 1999, I  was taking golf lessons and hitting a lot of practice balls. This made my wrist sore. So I purchased a magnetic therapy wrist bracelet with the idea that if it helped, maybe I could design something for my back.  To my amazement the bracelet helped. My first MagicBelt was made out of copper and magnets wrapped in cheesecloth and worn on the inside of my clothing. Although it definitely eased my back pain it was cumbersome and would get sweaty easily. After extensive research, I found turbo-strength rare earth magnets that not only penetrate through leather, clothes and skin but 4-6 inches beyond that into the blood stream. If a picture’s worth a thousand words our thermal images really tell the story. 

We've never had enough money to advertise so going to all kinds consumer trade shows put the first 10,000 MagicBelts in the marketplace literally one at a time. Getting up at 4 a.m. and taking my 3 year old daughter with me to get in a lottery for a swap meet space just to sell 7 MagicBelts that day. I guess that’s belief! Our first MagicBelts were very stiff  and plain looking but as long as people tried them on they felt the difference and bought one. Expanding our line, making the MagicBelt more fashionable, and word of mouth helped us sell the next 20,000 MagicBelts.    

Amazing stories of healing and positive feedback from happy customers has kept our dream of revolutionizing the belt business alive. None more amazing then my now partners story NFL Hall of Fame running back ERIC DICKERSON.   Like most people who take good care of themselves ERIC is fashion conscious too. He found out about the MagicBelt from a golf buddy who knew he had back problems. When we all met I was just hoping for another good testimonial for the website. I’ll never forget his words “I  want to do more.” Eric invited me to some celebrity and charity golf tournaments to help us sell MagicBelts and we continued to discuss our partnership. He wanted to put  his brand on it just like George Foreman did with The Grill. I still couldn’t figure out why someone like him wanted to help us. The more I got to know him, I realized that his interests were genuine.  I still had to be sure so one day I called him on his cell phone and asked him. “Are you sure you want to do this?,” I said. “You know people are going to associate you with the MagicBelt  for the rest of your life.” ERIC said, “ It doesn’t matter because I believe in the product just like you do Don, I’ve got drawstring pants on today with no belt loops but I still have the belt on. I wear it everyday and will wear it every day for the rest of my life. It’s your product, you’re the inventor. I don’t ever want to change that but if putting my name on it can help more people buy more MagicBelts, just do it.” Well, that was good enough for me.
