MEET THE BGD MAGIC: “The MAGIC 2 is our high-performance EN-A paraglider. Full of sparkle and magic it has maximum fun-factor and excellent passive safety. It’s super easy to launch and an absolute joy to thermal, with beautiful handling and the right amount of feedback.

The choice of materials and the structural design ensures the glider is robust and durable, and can withstand the abuse of training, but without adding weight – the M size is just 4.8kg.

“There’s a well-known saying in the paragliding world: “The best pilot is the one having the most fun”. Fly the MAGIC 2 – be the best pilot!”

The MAGIC 2 is designed as a pilot’s first wing; an easy, safe and forgiving glider for pilots progressing in their flying careers. It‘s positioned above the ADAM 2 school wing. It has EN-A safety and easy handling, with plenty of fun-factor and excellent performance. It will take pilots from their first soaring flights, learning to thermal, first XCs and onto more ambitious projects. Pilots will learn to love their MAGIC 2 as they appreciate its thermalling and XC potential, and won’t grow out of it too fast.

The brief for the R&D team was to produce a wing that is very safe, easy to fly and forgiving of errors. It must be fun and have performance for flying XC: a true ‘progression’ wing. We’re really happy that we’ve achieved this. The MAGIC 2 is a roll-stable glider with smooth, refined handling, and is an absolute joy to thermal.

It is super easy to launch, with no tendency to slow in the rise phase and forgiving of over-enthusiastic pulling of the A-risers.

The long brake travel combined with progressively increasing pressure as you near the stall point, means you won’t stall it unintentionally. It also has no tendency to get locked into a spiral and is generally very forgiving in roll.

“A safe and fun wing that will keep new pilots in love with this amazing sport as they explore what it has to offer.”
