Yukio Horie of the Tokyo Stationery Company invented a modern fiber-tipped pen in 1962. Highlighters and fine-line markers appeared in 1970's. Binney & Smith, who made Crayola, bought name âMagic Markerâ in 1989 and started selling improved permanent markers and highlighters.
Best Answer: cause they are magic, duh!! I may date myself here, but we called them Magic Markers lonnnnng before the color-change variety were available. The other alternative at that point was wax crayons, a.k.a. Crayolas. It's a brand name, but one that has come to be used in the generic sense like Kleenex, Thermos, Scotch tape, etc.
