The South East Melbourne Magic were an Australianbasketball team, that played in Melbourne, Victoria, in the National Basketball League. The team was the result of a merger of two Melbourne clubs (the South Melbourne Saints and the Eastside Spectres) for the 1991 season. Despite this combination being quite successful during its tenure in the league (including 4 Grand Final appearances and championships in 1992 and 1996), the club once again merged with a cross-town rival, the North Melbourne Giants, for the 1998/99 season. The resulting Victoria Titans were as successful as their predecessors, but after succumbing to financial difficulties were rebranded the Victoria Giants in 2002 and ultimately folded as such in 2004.

Posted: Sat Aug 15, 1998 at 12:07 PM ET The SouthEastMelbourneMagic and the North Melbourne Giants officially became the 'Booze less' Victorian Titans yesterday after weeks of speculation.
Magic chairman Phil Wade spoke of the tough decision made by the club, "We went through a good deal of agony to appoint Brian, but we're very confident Brett will take up a job in the league." Goorjian was also sympathetic, "It's been alarming, unsettling," Goorjian said.
Melbourne Park is the most expensive venue in the league, the Titans will face an uphill battle to fill stands and ultimately profit.
SouthEastMelbourneMagic has an extensive coaching and support staff, and running around in shorts and a T-shirt with the regulars is another mentor.
He was in Australia last month to talk with his clients -- the Magic pair and North Melbourne's Ben Pepper, who was drafted by the NBA's Boston Celtics last year - to renew relationships vital in developing his business and to keep abreast of developing talent and future clients.
The Magic has said it will not stand in his way if he has to miss an NBL game, and Mackinnon says he intends to go.
