The Shelves ARE CRAMMED!



The shelves here at FAB Magic are crammed with magic - new arrivals weekly and now we boast over 1500 items in stock and on our shelves ready for your inspection. We are excited about our new chair suspension, Silks Off Rope, feather flower products, Bow Sawing, Roy Huston DVD and Christmas themed Magic Flying Carpet illusion. You are gonna love the new effects our research and development department are working on. Who is our R & D department? The staff includes:Mark Davis, Krag Ryal, James Kesler, Al Littlejohn. Every week we put our brains together and bounce ideas off each other and the end result is usually a top notch project. We have now introduced over 80 new items since our inception - 30 of those this in 2009 alone! If we think an item can be improved we work on it and dream how it CAN be more user friendly - i.e. Improved Acrobatic Silks & Dream Zombie (both sellouts at MagiCelebration). Do YOU have an idea? We are always open to new creations and adaptations to existing tricks. In the meantime watch our site for new products and DO check out our bestusedmagic.com site for the finest in USED magic,books and DVD's. See why FAB Magic is quickly becoming the premiere magic manufacturing company in the USA!

Open 'Mic' Nights at FAB A HUGE Success!




















Our good friend Roger Bus from Kalamazoo gave us the idea of a late, late show for magic week. We tried it on Wednesday and Thursday...WOW what a response we received. SRO and everyone that wanted the opportunity to perform did their best stuff! Here is Phil Wilmarth working his handkerchief magic on the Wednesday night show. We'll do it again next year!

Our Staff is #1 - Numero Uno


















This past week our sales staff anchored by Krag & Carole Ryal, Sam Durocher & James Kesler, set an all time record sales week. I owe them a lot and my simple 'thank you' isn't good enough. They are without a doubt very good friends and terrific sales people. They took the time to show a youngster how to correctly perform the simplest of effects and made sure they knew how to use it before they left our shop. Now that is CUSTOMER SERVICE! When you visit FAB Magic this is the kind of treatment you deserve and expect. The internet only stores take notice - magic shops still rule!
Here is Krag Ryal behind the counter at our new Dove-Lite silk display.

Remember this name. . . Chase Cottle

















This young man, Chase Cottle, performed on our stage during our first annual 'open mike' night during magic week. It is quite refreshing to watch someone who has spent hours upon hours perfecting his art. He 'wowed' the SRO crowd here and with a little coaching this kid will go places - and he's only 13!

Magic Week - Oh What FUN!














Well...what can I say? Magic week was a huge success. Record numbers for FAB Magic! Here I am with Bob Sanders of DoveLite Silk Magic. FAB now carries his complete line of silks - over $50,000.00 inventory at our fingertips - we are proud to offer his wide array of products.
