CASE In Point - Watch us NOW!


With the new retail shop also comes new and innovative ideas. Our latest addition to the FAB staff is a guy who does amazing stuff with wood. Now with a CNC machine we are able to build anything - anything in magic. He certainly complements what our shop foreman Al Littlejohn does.
Look at this great solid walnut close up box! Measuring 8.0" x 5.5" with a depth of 4.5" this is perfect for carrying around your close up magic! And we can even personalize for you! The box - only $45.00 - personalized $55.00 - It's constructed from 3/4" stock. Our staff of talented craftspeople is now 5 and we look to add one or two more folks before the end of the year. FAB Magic quality is tops because of our staff. My hat is off to you all and welcome Kip to our staff!

National Magic Day at The Riviera!




For the past three years FAB Magic has hosted "A Day Of Magic" during National Magic Week in October. It's a NEW tradition here in Colon attracting hundreds of tourists and media for this event. This year we are going all out with a surprise event during the day here in Colon followed by all types of fun and trick or treating and immediately following the day's events we are hosting "A Night Of Magic!" We have secured the beautifully renovated Riviera Theater in downtown Three Rivers for a Spectacular Magic Production beginning at 7:00pm, Sataurday ~ October 30th.
Tickets in advance will be $5.00 - with tickets at the door available (if there are any left) for only $7.00.

A family fun day and evening! We will keep you updated on the latest and who we have coming to perform. So much happening in the Magic Capital Of The World - I can't keep up...now where is my secretary?

Whew! We are finally back up again :)


































I love old buildings and that certain 'feel' they have. But I gotta tell you when you have to start from scratch it can wear on your nerves a bit :) The building had to be completely re-wired and plumbed so we could have all of our computers and telephone systems in place. Today I can say we are now in and assembled, back to business and we have rightsized our operation so now it runs smoother and more efficiently. Here are some pics of the new showroom. Al and the gang are busy working out the details down at the new workshop. This building allows for a small woodshop and then our larger operation has been moved to a building here in town that gives us more room to build all of those great FAB items.
We appreciate your patience in this transition period and we think you will be in for a real treat when you come to visit our location here in Colon! In the middle of all this I have just negotiated bringing in another magic estate and our New Lamps For Old program has been a tremendous success! Check out the 'gently used' items on our Used Magic site at http://www.fabmagic.com/ with lots more to come.
New items arriving daily will fill the showroom to the brim. We are anticipating a great Magic Week August 4-7th - with Percy Abbott Day on August 6th. Syd Abbott will be here to sign our new book on Perc. In the meantime watch colonmichiganmagic.com for more details and updated items from the Roy Huston collection. Man I love my job!

Old Tyme Fun In The Magic Capital








A few months ago we arranged for a traveling old tyme car group to come to Colon. Friday the old cars were lined up and made their way to Curly's for a bite to eat and then came by the shop for a little magic followed by an evening show I performed for them in Three Rivers.
They had a wonderful time and several of them are looking forward to coming to magic week in August!
These cars are absolutely beautiful! Maybe I will ask Santa Claus for one ;)
