About The Magic

The Magic is a micro‑enterprise (nome fantasia "The Magic") registered under the legal entity N. S. Tavares in Belém, Pará, Brazil. Its primary registered activity is retail sale of clothing and accessories, covering a wide range of apparel for men, women, and children, as well as fashion accessories such as belts, hats, umbrellas, lingerie, and other garments and complements.

In addition to clothing and accessories, the company’s registration indicates secondary activities in beauty and aesthetics services (such as facial treatments, make‑up, and other personal care services) and light food service (snack bar / café style offerings), as well as the retail sale of souvenirs, costume jewelry, and handicrafts.([cnpj.biz](https://cnpj.biz/18888173000153)) A card charge from "SQ *THE MAGIC N" is likely a point‑of‑sale transaction processed via Square at this boutique or at one of its associated services (beauty or snack bar) in Belém. This could be for apparel, accessories, small gifts, beauty treatments, or refreshments.

If you have questions about this charge, first check any receipts, text/WhatsApp confirmations, or email messages you received around the transaction date, particularly those referring to "The Magic" or an address on Rua Antonio Barreto in the Umarizal neighborhood of Belém. Because the payment is processed by Square, your bank statement will show the "SQ *" prefix before the merchant name; verifying the date, amount, and location against your own records is helpful. To resolve issues, you can contact the business directly using the phone or email listed in Brazilian company registries, or contact your card issuer to dispute the charge if you do not recognize it and cannot match it to any visit, purchase, or family member’s spending.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement show "SQ *THE MAGIC N" instead of just "The Magic"?

The prefix "SQ *" indicates that the payment was processed through Square, a payment processor. The descriptor is truncated due to character limits, so "THE MAGIC N" most likely refers to The Magic (N. S. Tavares) in Belém, Brazil, with the trailing "N" coming from the legal name. The underlying merchant is the local boutique, not Square.

What types of purchases could generate a charge from The Magic?

The Magic’s primary activity is retail sale of clothing and accessories, so most charges will be for apparel or fashion items such as dresses, shirts, lingerie, belts, hats, or similar products. The business is also registered for beauty/aesthetic services and light snack‑bar style food service, so a charge could also correspond to a personal care treatment or refreshments purchased on-site.([cnpj.biz](https://cnpj.biz/18888173000153))

I don’t remember shopping at a place called The Magic. How can I verify this charge?

Check your receipts, WhatsApp messages, and bank app around the date of the transaction for any visit to a clothing boutique, small café, or beauty service in the Umarizal neighborhood of Belém. Look for receipts that list Rua Antonio Barreto or the name "The Magic". If you were traveling, also consider whether a companion used your card there. If you still can’t match it, contact your card issuer to ask for additional details like the terminal location.

Does The Magic run subscriptions or recurring charges?

Based on its registered activities as a clothing and accessories retailer with ancillary beauty and snack‑bar services, The Magic typically operates on one‑time point‑of‑sale transactions rather than subscriptions.([cnpj.biz](https://cnpj.biz/18888173000153)) If you see multiple similar charges, they are more likely separate visits or purchases rather than an automatic recurring plan.

Could this be a tip or adjusted amount from The Magic processed through Square?

Yes. When a merchant uses Square, the final posted amount can include a tip you added on a signature screen or mobile device. If you recall leaving a tip at a boutique‑café or beauty service, the final amount on your statement may be slightly higher than the original authorization, but it should match the total on your receipt.

How can I contact The Magic if I have a billing question?

Brazilian corporate registry records list contact details (phone and email) for The Magic (N. S. Tavares) at its address on Rua Antonio Barreto in Belém.([cnpj.biz](https://cnpj.biz/18888173000153)) You can search the CNPJ number 18.888.173/0001‑53 or the name "The Magic N. S. Tavares Belém" online to retrieve the most current phone and email, then contact them directly to request a copy of your receipt or clarification about the transaction.

Why does the location of the charge from The Magic appear as Brazil if I live in another country?

The Magic is based in Belém, Pará, Brazil, so transactions processed in person there will show a Brazilian location. If you see a foreign‑currency or cross‑border fee attached, it’s because your card issuer processed the payment as an international transaction. Confirm whether you or someone authorized on your card traveled to Brazil or made an in‑person purchase there before treating the charge as potentially fraudulent.

What should I do if I still believe the charge from "SQ *THE MAGIC N" is fraudulent?

If you cannot associate the charge with any purchase, visit, or authorized user, contact your bank or card issuer immediately and report the transaction as unrecognized. Ask them to block your card, issue a replacement, and start a dispute. Providing the date, exact amount, and descriptor "SQ *THE MAGIC N" will help your bank investigate the underlying Square terminal and merchant.
