Anybody ever hang out there? Ancient Times magic shop in Lakewood, CA. That is where I bought my first "stupid" trick that lassoed me into this whole thing. Something called a Fan-Ta-Stik, Well that "stupid" little trick also entertained the H*LL out of 1000's! That is where it all started for me. Ancient Times, They started out next to Cal Bowl on Carson blvd and moved into the Color Corner Liquor store lot on Paramount and Del Amo probably 1 year later. Boy, do I miss those days........ SCAM meetings.. Southern California Association of Magicians, it was right up the street from where I lived, man those were some fun times! Anybody else? Fun times....
