A Legendary Gift Fit for a Spartan Army
The buses, painted in gleaming Spartan green and white with Magic’s signature touch, are fully loaded:
Reclining leather captain’s chairs
4K media systems and soundproof entertainment lounges
Wi-Fi, massage seats, and hydration stations
Spartan logos, neon lighting, and custom wraps that scream “elite”
Players have already started calling them the “Magic Mobiles.”
