Rich Hill's Illusionshop -NEW At FAB Magic!

FAB Magic is proud to announce our newly formed association with Rich Hill's Illusionshops - Some of the finest illusions in the world are built by Rich and FAB Magic is proud to offer his complete line of magic and illusions. Stay tuned to our website for complete listings. Welcome Rich Hill Illusionshop to the FAB family of Quality American Made magic!

Rich Hill has been designing and building magic since 1978. An accomplished magician and illusionist himself, Rich first designed only for his own show, but after much prodding from fellow magicians, he decided to open the Illusionshop in 1997. Consequently, Rich's line of quality magic can now be found worldwide, and the sawdust is flying and the machines are kicking almost around the clock.

You'll notice that Rich's magic isn't the cheapest out there. The reason? It's some of the best quality magic that money can buy. Rich builds with the working professional in mind, and makes sure that the props can withstand the rigors of everyday use. High quality materials and workmanship are the most important elements in the props that come out of Rich Hill's Illusionshop, and the fact that they are built "from the heart" is truly a plus. Rich's love of the art of magic gives his creations "that special something"...

This is a great word in our line of work....and Rich's mission is to be sure that every prop he produces is made as deceptively as humanly possible. His illusion bases are some of the thinnest looking in the industry.

Here you will find all types of Colon souvenirs - coffee mugs,shirts,hats and all types of souvenirs for those traveling through our magical village. Scheduled grand opening is Thanksgiving weekend!

Magic Week - Friends

Someone asked me the other day if I was excited about "Magic Week".  I simply responded by saying, "Every week is magic week" to me. I get to live it 52 weeks a year. I am the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Period. My good friend Don Theobald " T- Bone" The Clown, presented us with a beautiful banner for our little theater. It's friends like this that make this brotherhood of magicians so very special. This is the 'magic' that makes this time of year so very special. Make plans NOW to visit us in Colon for our 10th Anniversary,July 31st -August 3rd ~ 2013.
