Mystic

Angled photograph of a whole pinball playfield behind glass, the wooden cabinet edge and teal-blue apron framing it and reflections of lights washing the upper half. The dominant palette is metallic gold, orange, scarlet and teal, with cream flippers and red rubber. At the top an arched banner of gold block lettering sits above a large pale-gold scoop, flanked by two red plastic lane guides and score numerals 2,000 and 1,000. Three round pop-bumper caps with red-and-blue starburst surrounds form a triangle in the upper centre, with red posts and a small saucer hole below them. The middle of the field is a large four-by-four grid of drop targets, alternating yellow and orange squares each carrying a red triangle, red circle, blue diamond or dark pip. Below the grid a large gold sunburst radiates upward, carrying a white-and-gold spread-winged emblem with rows of circle value targets reading 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, a red 63X and a red SPECIAL. Two cream flippers with red rubber flank an EXTRA BALL lane, and gold-and-black lettering below reads COLLECT BONUS. Two cream paper cards with black print are taped to the blue apron.

A painted, illustrated backglass in a blue wooden frame with a wide gilt-brown band at top and bottom. A huge magenta-and-gold fan-shaped banner fills the upper third, carrying the title MYSTIC in big cream-to-yellow serif letters with teal, red and white shading and small coloured jewel-like gems set into the letters. Below it, a collage of circus/occult-magic figures: a giant red-faced villain with swept-back blond hair and a black-and-white striped shirt lunges forward centre, one hand huge and reaching, a wand crossing diagonally; a smaller red-horned devil head floats at his left shoulder. A giant eyeball with a golden pyramid reflected in its iris sits centre-lower, with a nude reclining red-haired woman sprawled across it. Around them stand a woman in a pink off-shoulder blouse and red headband, a bald tuxedoed man in a tailcoat, a man in a green shirt and cream trousers with arms flung up beside golden pyramids, and a bound man in red and yellow being led by a dwarf-like handler in green. A full skeleton hangs by a rope at top right, a mummy-like figure stands at far right, a disembodied flaming hand rises at left, and a giraffe head and a card-fronted box appear at lower left. Backgrounds mix desert dunes, pyramids, palm trees, a domed mosque, a rabbit, playing cards, and dark blue night sky scattered with crescents, stars and shooting stars. Colours: crimson/magenta, gold/ochre, teal-blue, and bone white.
