Help Magic Sword Replace Stolen Van & Equipment

Donation protected
A great loss has occured. The Magic Sword has fallen into the clutches of great evil. A glimmer of hope for survival rests in your hands...

On the morning of December 12th, after the final show of their tour, Magic Sword walked out of their hotel in Seattle, WA to find their van & trailer missing from the parking lot. After verifying that it had not been towed, they realized the true tragedy. It had been hotwired and stolen. Everything was gone.

The band immediately contacted the local police to start an investigation, but the chances of recovering anything are very slim. There were AirTags in different cases in the trailer, but none of them provided any leads in recovering the van, trailer, or equipment.

Instruments, computers, cases, lights, and merchandise were not the only things that were taken. There were also custom designed costumes, stage props, and THE Magic Sword that were included in the theft. Needless to say, this is a huge setback and prevents the band from performing for the near future while they replace the missing items.

After taking inventory of everything gone, the total loss is over $50,000. Itemized list of stolen items is included below.

This fundraiser is to help get the band back on their feet and able to perform again as soon as possible. This listing was created by Brent Benedict, the band's manager.

We will not let this tragedy defeat Magic Sword.

Whenever the Magic Sword appears... good will always prevail.
