I have received over two dozen emails in the past three days regarding our schedule for Magic week festivities here in Colon August 4-7th. Some have asked if they need to register - answer is NO - because there is NO cover charge for the events listed. The schedule is pretty much set but we have additional surprises that will be announced just before that week. So here is the schedule and we hope all of you or as many of you can attend - it will be highlighted by Percy Abbott day where our new book on him will be showcased and Syd Abbott, Percy's son, will be here to sign. Also another big highlight is the Roy Huston collection that will be auctioned off on Friday night as well. Don't forget the 2nd annual Busking Competition Thursday and Friday with $900.00 in cash prizes. Rules and forms will be posted shortly on the colonmichiganmagic.com website. It ought to be a rip roaring time in Colon. Make your hotel reservations now!

Now that the word is out of your successful busking contest last year I believe that you will have an even bigger turn out this year. You had Colon full of tourists, and young magicians. It was, and is the shot in the arm that magic week needed. I wish you the best. PS- I was told by several buskers last year that not only were the cash prizes substantial, but the hats were pretty good too.

I could not agree more with you Al, Rick did a wonderful job with the busking contest and I urge all interested parties to sign up for it.

Many thank you's...I appreciate the nice comments. We made our share of mistakes last year with it and this year we hope to have tweaked it enough to work all the bugs out. Thanks to Al for all his help, Chuck for help promoting it too...this is a win-win situation for the entire village of Colon and promises to keep growing to bring back the crowds to Colon once again.
This year while you are here.....come by and have your photo taken with Percy Abbott and Roy Huston - nuff said for now.... Again, thank you. |

Roy Huston's wife, Yuka just purchased a house here in Colon and we finalized all the details this weekend for the auction. We are getting emails and phone calls from all types of collectors. The items will NOT be for sale on the internet eg. ebay,etc.... You MUST be present to bid on these one of a kind items. We will accept all major credit cards and cash. No personal or business checks please.
Also, you can register for the auction now by simply emailing us at sales@fabmagic.com So guess you will have to show up in the ONLY magic capital of the world - it's going to be a FABulous week in Colon August 4-7th. |

I have been receiving several inquiries regarding lodging for this year's magic week festivities.There are a few cabins left but not many which is a very,very good sign - we have booked several of them already. If you are planning on coming to Colon and want to stay in town our supply of cottages are being filled rather quickly this year otherwise you will have to stay in motels in or around Colon - either way a fifteen mile jaunt.
Email me if you have an interest - the sooner the best. This year's magic week looks like it's going to be a BIG time! Come see! |

We will have some of Roy's illusions but he had 70 + huge crates and we can't get 'em all in here even with a 7,000 square foot showroom. Will also post items here that will be in auction.

Update On the auction August6th. Yes, you can bring stuff to sell and we may also have another collection to add to this so we may start earlier or go later or both! But we are asking each person to bring no more than 6 items please.
