Percy Abbott: Magical Years Publishing!



It's finally finished!
This book dedicated to Percy Abbott & his children

is now at the publisher. We found many never before seen photographs that are now in the 90 8" x 10" pages.

It's a beautiful hard cover book with color pics and wonderful stories about Carl Ballantine, Thurston, Nicola, Cardini and so many more great of magic.

The forward was written by Percy's daughter Linda Abbott Huff.

Now available to order! Visit www.fabmagic.com to place your order. Books will be shipped August 2nd, 2010

This was a labor of love. I had so much fun putting assembling the stories and photographs together. I hope you have as much fun reading it.

Meet Our Newest Demonstrator!


Meet our 'newest' demonstrator - Percy Abbott! We have just added never before seen clips of Percy to several of our products i.e. Find The Royal Lady, Bonnet Paper Hat Tear & Chinese Rice Bowls with more to come!

Watch the master demonstrate these wonderful effects and available from FAB Magic!

Percy's son, Syd, will be here in July and August to help us out and you just might even find him behind the counter! Guess you will have to show up and find out :)

Lots of new products at FAB Magic. Our new Coins Thru Glass and Percy Abbott book (www.percyabbott.com) are just the tip of the iceberg. It IS an exciting time here at FAB Magic - "Magic That IS Simply FAB!"

A breath of FRESH Air!





















There is so much happening here at FAB Magic we don't know where to start! Above see one of two original Bill Neff tables that will be for sale during magic week from the Roy Huston collection. These rare tables can by YOURS but you have to visit Colon during magic week to bid on them!

Also, this week we have introduced our new IN-STOCK GUARANTEE! Internet dealers list thousands of items on their website - some available - some not. It's the same old story. You buy 6 items and 4 of them are back-ordered. The online dealers have little or NO inventory so they have to rely on the various wholesalers to provide them with product - until they find out it's not available or on back-order which can take weeks. Yes, I am the first to admit we were one of them. NO MORE! Beginning April 15th if the item is NOT in stock our new live inventory feature will show just what we have on hand in our store - not what is available from the wholesalers.

Some have told me this is radical thinking? No - just fair and only makes good business sense. You, the customer are the winners - knowing you will receive ALL of your merchandise in a timely manner. We aren't carrying most of the imported 'junk' that is floating out there. I have spent too many hours returning items that are poor quality. It is time to stop the madness NOW! In the meantime we will be building and introducing an expanded line of products, some classics and lots of new items. Just watch the site for new product updates - weekly!

Watch for: Squared Circles, Milk Vanish Exposed,Livestock Appearance,Mirror Box,Dove Cage,Birds From Nowhere, ABC Blocks and so much more made here in the USA!

So we thank you for your business. We know these improvements to shipping and delivery will be a breath of fresh air. We value your business.

Also, a new mini magic museum and performing stage is being added to the shop along with a new fresh coat of paint and signage. It IS springtime and time to spruce things up at FAB.
