My dear friend -









I have lost a dear friend and magic is poorer because of his passing. Jerry Conklin and his 'Amazing Conklins' traveled the USA and Canada with their full evening show for nearly 40 years. I first met Jerry when we arrived here in Colon and he was one of the first to greet us and welcome us to the magic capital. My life has been enriched because of knowing this wonderful man. We used to sit around and talk magic non stop for hours on end.

He is in a better place now and they are having one hell of a show up there . . Jack Gwynne, Neil Foster, Harry, Percy and alongside his wife, Shirley, they are knocking 'em dead. Break A Leg My dear friend.

We did it again ! You asked for it so here it is! Our new Improved Mini Acrobatic Silks! Every week our staff brainstorms new ideas and this one has proved to be quite the winner. It works exactly like our Acrobatic Silk effect with the new improved feature except it's only 9" long and uses 9" silks - Perfect for the strolling magician/street magician! We have sold over three dozen the first week! Wow! Thank YOU!
It's easy to use and to carry around. If you ever wear it out just replace the silks! Coming soon we are introducing our new Backstage/Milk Vanish effect and you can use colored liquid instead of milk! Lots to prepare for before magic week in August. The shelves are packed full of FAB Magic and we hope you will enjoy our many new items and the quality that we bring to the table.

Thank you for being such loyal customers.

A Master Craftsman - We're So Lucky . . .














We are so fortunate to have Al Littlejohn as our project coordinator. His vast skills in woodworking have enabled us to provide quality products to our customers. He hates to have his picture taken but I snapped this just as he was working on an illusion base for a customer. Al takes pride in his worksmanship and I have learned so much from him these past seven years. As we add a few more woodworkers to our staff to handle the tremendous volume of work we have in front of us, I have the utmost confidence his superior knowledge will rub off on the other guys. Watch for Al's workmanship to appear here and our FAB home page http://www.fabmagic.com/
The Magic starts - HERE!
Hey, my friend, I salute you! A terrific employee and even better friend!

My dear friend Jerry Conklin celebrated his 82nd birthday about a week ago and now he is fighting for his life. I spent the morning with him and his wonderful family today and we all know the end is near. Before I left I asked Jerry if there was anything I could do for him. He replied ".. . . . keep the magic going in Colon"

We will my friend, we most certainly will - you have my word. Please keep Jerry and his family, Cindy, Mike, Penny and their children in your thoughts and prayers.
