- Harlem Magicians was a basketball enterprise founded in 1953 by Lon Varnell through his Varnell Enterprises, that was similar in fashion and activities to the famous exhibition basketball team the Harlem Globetrotters. The full name of the barnstorming basketball team was the Fabulous Harlem Magicians with the main star attraction of the team being Marques Haynes. Haynes had been a member of the Globetrotters, but had left the team due to a contract dispute to join the Magicians. Other famous players in the team were Goose Tatum, comic Sam "Boom" Wheeler, Josh Grider, Ron Cavenall, and Bob "Ergie" Erickson (who once stole the ball from Haynes four times in one game). Dempsey Hovland, founder of 20th Century Booking Agency and himself owner of several barnstorming teams, was recruited to book the Harlem Magicians' games. In late 1961, Abe Saperstein, founder and owner of the Harlem Globetrotters, filed a lawsuit against Lon Varnell for alleged violation of Harlem Globetrotters' registered trademarks, "Harlem Globetrotters" and "Magicians of Basketball" by promoting a basketball team known as the "Harlem Magicians". In 1964, the parties settled the litigation by entering a consent decree approved by the District Court for the Southern District of New York. (en)
- Les Magicians de Harlem (en anglais : Harlem Magicians) sont une équipe de basket-ball américaine fondée en 1953. À la manière des Globetrotters de Harlem, dont la plupart des membres sont issus, l'équipe se produit en spectacle à travers les États-Unis, notamment avant des rencontres de la NBA. L'équipe est fondée par l'entrepreneur Lou Varnell, sur le modèle des Globetrotters, et présentée sous le nom de Harlem Magicians. Le principal joueur est Marques Haynes, excellent dribbleur et figure des Globetrotters depuis 1947, qui a quitté l'équipe à la suite d'un litige portant sur son contrat. Les Magicians comptent également la présence de Reece Tatum, autre star des Globetrotters, Bob Erickson et . Le promoteur Dempsey Holland est chargé de distribuer le spectacle. Fin 1961, le fondateur et propriétaire des Globetrotters de Harlem, Abe Saperstein, engage des poursuites contre Lon Varnell pour violation des marques déposées « Harlem Globetrotters » et « Magicians of Basketball ». En 1964, les parties au procès trouvent un accord à l'amiable. (fr)
