FAB Magic Spotlight In Shoreline Magazine


We are indebted to Laura Kirella who wrote a fantastic article about our upcoming 6th Annual Magic Daze in the recent edition of Shoreline Magazine - which is published for the entire St. Joseph County area. We certainly appreciate the coverage and Laura will also be in attendance to cover the event on October 27th.

It's just one of many publications that have contacted us recently - and - we aren't letting the proverbial cat out of the bag but a major magazine is coming to FAB in October to do a feature story on our shop and Colon and highlight our 10th Anniversary MagiCelebration 2013. We are all excited here at the shop and it will be one terrific publicity opportunity for FAB & The Magic Capital Of The World! Plus the new Under The Radar television program will feature FAB and Colon and we will keep you up to date on the air date.

So Stay tuned....exciting things are happening in Colon and at FAB Magic!

Magic IS Alive & Well In The Magic Capital - Whew!

So much going on here in the magic capital of the world even I find myself trying to 'keep up' with all of the activities! Of course first and foremost our Magical Day With Joshua Jay & Tom Craven is October 26th and 27th - Registration is still only $40.00 and limited to 70 folks - we are a little past half that point with registrations coming in every day so don't delay register now...check out the great web page and video our good friend Ron Carnell has put up
New acts being added to Magicelebration with new web page coming this weekend - yea, we are running a bit behind getting it posted but we have been swamped here in the shop. FAB has recently expanded it's wood shop and it's been abuzz lately with all of the new stuff we are cranking out. You can see our new Creativ Block Off Rope here - sure to be a best seller with the holiday season approaching. It's a classic effect completely reworked to give you maximum performance appeal.

FAB Magic will be at Duane Laflin's ADVANCE Magic Convention October 3-6th in Coldwater, Michigan and at the Central Illinois Magic Gettogether October 13th in Peoria, Illinois where Riley & I will be emceeing and performing as well. Always a fun time with these group!

Of course the Abbott-Watson IBM Ring 386 meets the third Thursday of the month here at FAB Magic at 6:30 and our membership is growing, growing! Check out the web page HERE -
Thanks to Ron Carnell for keeping us on the forefront with the website and the ring reports each month in the Linking Ring magazine.

In case you haven't seen our 'Stars of Magic Walk of Fame' check it out here as part of our new site
Magic Capitol Of The World - New stars just ordered for Percy Abbott & Wilma Rench!

We have two new books coming out - The Story of Monk Watson & Our new FAB Magic catalog!

Okay so when do we have time to catch our breath around the magic capital ? Not often! But that is the way I like it --scratch that --- LOVE IT! I am one of the luckiest guys on earth because I get to do what I LOVE every day of the week. I can't put into words how much I enjoy what I do around here and yes there are days when 24 hours just doesn't seem to be enough time to do it all but we are having a ball trying! Thanks to my staff - Ron Carnell who is always there at the drop of a hat to do whatever it takes, Krag & Carol Ryal who I think love it as much here as I do, Indra Sanford my seamstress and artist and do anything gal who has been with me for 8 years now and of course I cannot forget Al Littlejohn, my chief mechanic, who still knows how to crank out beautiful wood products for us. Couldn't do it without you Al! My main R & D guy who is more like a brother than anything else - Mark Davis who keeps me hopping with new ideas - a godsend to be sure. It is because of these folks that we look good and the praises and accolades from our customers on the quality of our products goes to them.
They are FAB Magic - they are TOPS!

Plus.....we have some VERY important visitors coming to FAB & Colon in October...All I can say is WOW! - We promised NOT to let the cat out of the bag --- so we won't -  what a tremendous shot in the arm for Colon it will bring :)
Thanks to all of you for being our loyal customers...we aren't perfect and we make mistakes but we are growing..man are we growin'
