The Colon Community Park is taking shape and will be ready for visitors in August. It is a wonderful asset to our community and just goes to show you when folks put their mind to it anything can happen. This is the same site where the very first Abbott gettogethers were held when it was strictly a tent show. We have some very rare photographs that we will be adding to our book on Percy Abbott: Magical Years which is on scheduled to be published in August hopefully in time for magic week. Percy & Gladys' family will be making the trek to Colon along with Alan Abbott from Australia. It ought to be a blast. Hope to see you all in August and please take a minute to stop by our new park and enjoy!

What Recession?

Here at FAB we haved decided NOT to participate in this so - called recession! We are busier than ever - orders for Fraidy Cat Rabbits and Peanut Butter JAMMED effects coming in at a rapid pace. Our new improved Flying Carpet illusion is keeping the gang busy in the shop. We are trying to find a few more hours every day to get everything done. This plus our new Percy Abbott book, MagiCelebration in August and our latest offering we all are very excited about - All Ceramic Inexaustible Jug - due out this month. So . . . .if you don't want to be part of this so-called economic downturn join with us in making America great again.....BUY American - VISIT & Support your local magic shop. They ARE an American institution!

Yep, you just never know who will stop in at the shop! While the staff was busy assembling Fraidy Cat Rabbits this little guy came in the back door like he owned the place. It took me about fifteen minutes to track him down as he made his way throughout the showroom (perhaps looking for an audition in the 'duck pan') At first we thought he could be our honorary 'web' master (sorry for the puns - couldn't help myself)

We released him down by the Colon dam where he promptly took off down the stream looking for his family. It was fun while it lasted and maybe, just maybe, he will bring the rest of his family by for a visit in the near future.
