HAPPY NEW YEAR !

We couldn't say it any better Ian! Wishing all of you a wonderful and safe New Year! 2011 has been one terrific year and looking forward to 2012 with lots of new FAB Magic creations - expansion of our current facility - renovation of our current showroom - new store in Indianapolis next spring - magic festival in August - I am having the time of my life and enjoying every second of it!

I just wish there were more hours in the day to do everything so my New Years resolution is to MAKE it happen not only here at FAB Magic but also in COLON where we as a community will once again reinforce claim to our title "Magic Capital Of The World!" My fellow DDA board members have the same goals and commitment to this village. So NOW watch us GROW!

From Down Under - A Christmas Greeting From Ian Buckland

Our dear friend from down under, Ian Buckland, always surprises us with a wonderful and imaginative Christmas card. This year is no different - As we say goodbye to 2011 and enter 2012 we are thankful for all the good friends we have made over the years! As Perc would say "Cheers" !

Colon , Michigan DDA - Making Magic In The Magic Capital Of The World!

Moving forward given today's economic climate is a challenge to every small town across the United States. However, as the new chairman of the Colon Downtown Development Association, I see nothing BUT positives for this community. It's going to be a team effort to revitalize the downtown and it can and will be done. Everyone on this board understands and loves this community - they want to see it move forward - and so do the citizens of Colon.

Plans are being made NOW to invest in the future - our schools are being remodeled, our new community park is making HUGE strides and it is evident pride is becoming contagious throughout the village. As we enter 2012 we take time to reflect on 2011 and plan for 2012 and beyond. No smoke - no mirrors - no illusions - just hard work and dedication. The next time you are in the area please stop and look around...see what Colon is up to!

Ho Ho HO! Announcing TWO New Books Coming Summer 2012

With the holiday season upon us we haven't had much time to take any time off. It's been a wonderful year at FAB Magic and we have lots of surprises in store. Two of which are the new books we will be releasing summer of 2012.

With special permission from the Monk Watson family we are assembling a book on the life story of Monk Watson. The hardbound book will be chocked full of great pics and memorable stories of this legendary performer who lived in Colon his entire life. Watch here for details.

Also, summer of 2012, "A Magical Village" book on the history of magic and magicians in Colon with an accompanied souvenir collectors edition of the new FAB Magic catalog. PLUS ...watch this blog for exciting information about our expansion project.

 Here is a short video on Monk Watson  - this will 'whet your appetite' :) This was the advertisement for the first book we published..now out of print.

I'll Be Seeing YOU at Half Time!

I'll be Seeing YOU at half time of the Colon High School Magi Basketball games beginning January, 2012!

I will be performing at each of the home games next year during half time - we will be incorporating Colon High School staff throughout and it is going to be a great time! I have a great new assistant in the high school mascot and fun things are in the works.

Christmas In Colon

Christmas in Colon was a huge success. So much fun to see hundreds of folks visiting our village for what is quickly becoming an annual event. The kids thoroughly enjoyed Krag Ryal's free magic show here in the shop.

Cheryl & Lilly worked hard all week long to create a festive atmosphere here at FAB and with the Christmas music playing in the background the setting was just perfect. Nostalgic Necessities set up 'shop' in the front part of the store with their big fluffy bunny rabbit - it was - a wonderful time. Thanks to all of you that came and we hope to see you here in the magic capital of the world for our 3rd annual Christmas In Colon event. 

Merry Christmas from all of us at FAB Magic - thanks for a great year!
