I Dream Of Zombies . . . .














Our new 'Dream Zombie' has really taken off! We are shipping them out worldwide in all different colors! Drop it and it won't dent! They are gorgeous and weigh less than 3 oz! When these zombie balls float they really take on a life of their own. We are overwhelmed by the response and are tickled to death our customers like them so much. We might even have zombies floating all over the shop soon - and with Halloween on the way ..well, one never knows!

Here is Phase 1 of our 'new look'. The floor plan is being updated and outside going to get new signage. It is a 'work in progress' and we think you will be pleased with the improvements. A separate performing stage has been introduced onto the main floor and an illusion section as well for the new illusions we will be making - seven of them - all at a reasonable price and built to last! Included: Aladdin's Flying Carpet, Frame of Life & Death,Guillotine, Bow Sawing, Chair Suspension, Palanquin and Sub trunk. These will be manufactured in - house with quality materials and workmanship. Stay tuned. The FAB Magic Company now has the largest store front in Colon and hundreds of new items are being added to the shelves - both used and new. Check out our new - used magic site - bestusedmagic.com for some real bargains!

Once In A Lifetime . . .




















Once in awhile we get the opportunity to see 'real' magic - and this is about as close you will get. This is in our shop awaiting pick up from a customer. It is an original Blackstone Light Bulbs Through Girl built by De Yip Loo (one time assistant on the show). It's a real beauty and so ingenious and far ahead of it's time when Harry first added to his show in the 1940's. Who knows perhaps we will build one someday....stay tuned ;)
