Jimi Hendrix's iconic feathery scarf worn in 1967 to go on auction on September 8

Iconic American guitarist Jimi Hendrix’s treasured electric pink feather boa also known as “Magic Boa” will be up for auction after being in a personal collection. Jimi Hendrix had worn the feathery scarf during his legendary performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and will be auctioned for the first time on September 8 in a sale by the British house Omega Auctions. 

For more than 50 years, Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Magic Boa’ was kept in a personal collection that belonged to UK-based photographer Karl Ferris. On September 1, according to reports, Ferris revealed that Hendrix used to call the scarf as ‘magic Boa’ because it had brought him “much luck”. The scarf would be put up for sale by Omega Auctions also to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Hendrix’s death and is expected to fetch more than $20,000.
