We've had several visitors this week in the showroom including these two young men. Neither one would admit it but they are both 'legends'. Jerry Conklin on the left and Kid Show Pioneer Dick Oslund on the right. They are in the 'boss' relaxation area sharing stories about magicians of years gone by and dis(cuss)ing about some of the magic on the tube these days. Anyhow, it is great to have them hanging around. Nearly 100 years of magic between these two guys - what a life they have lived - a magical one indeed!

The Magic Of Life.......................


Meet Abigail Elise - our new granddaughter. We are so very proud of her ! Mom doing fine and (so is dad!) She is such a pretty girl and takes after mom and 'grandma'. You won't see her behind the sales counter anytime soon - her two year old sister Lilly has that privelege for now :)

Stocking up and Ramping Up


We haven't posted a blog in a few weeks - we have been so doggone busy around here! Don't get me wrong I am not complaining! Thank You, Thank You ! to all of our loyal customers and growing new customer base. We have just added another 500 items to our retail shop. We are bulging at the seams now with almost 2000 different items - from beginner to close up to everything the professional needs including our FAB X-Clusive line and yes, we are in the process of hiring a few more folks to keep up with demand. Why? Perhaps it's our cutomer service? Perhaps it's because our products are superior? Perhaps it's because our prices are very competitive? Whatever the case may be we are very happy to be so busy. We have just recenlty added clown supplies as well to our retail shop. Watch the online store for these items as well. On a personal note, Cheryl and I are anxiously awaiting the birth of our second grandchild due any day now. We can't wait and ...neither can 'mom'.....9 months is long time and when Ashley gets a bit irritable Cheryl just smiles and says 'been there ...done that' with YOU :)......Ashley is taking it in great stride and she is already a terrific mother and we are so very proud of her! Will put up first newborn pics HERE as soon as the miracle arrives. In the meantime check out our new offerings. We have added dozens this week - after careful consideration. We think you will be very pleased.
