Sure Sign of Summer – Abbott’s Weekend Magic Shows

Just After Winter - Summer for Magicians in MichiganSure, it gets cold here in Michigan but only for about nine months of the year.  The rest of the time, we have sunny days and great summer activities.

Because we don't have much of a Summer, we have to squeeze it in as best as we can.  Every day has something great — usually within a few hours travel — and well-attended. 
For us, one of the sure signs of Summer is Abbott's Saturday Magic Shows. 

Visitors to the famous factory of magic can see some great magicians perform well-practiced routines.  We saw Hank Moorehouse work the room — and we learned some great bits to borrow for our show. 

But even if you aren't a magician, you'll find great pleasure in taking a stroll through downtown Colon, Michigan before or after Magic Week, crossing the bank parking lot, walking a few steps down St. Joseph Street to the one-and-only Abbott's Magic Factory.

The price is a very reasonable $5.00 and the seating couldn't be better. 

If you are in the area, give a call for details about the performer.  You can reach the friendly folks at Abbott's by dialing (269) 432-3235.

You owe it to yourself — Summer in metaphor and Michigan lasts but a second or two.

Oregon Magician Jeff Martin Featured

Magician Jeff Martin Wows EmIn its on-going coverage of The Park County Fair, The Billings Gazette did a heck of a job with their coverage of Salem, Oregon magician Jeff Martin.

To read the coverage one would think there were only two worth-while events at this year's rendition of the fair: the pig wrestling and Mr. Martin's magic. 

Both attractions went a long way to entertaining the most difficult demographic out there – teenagers.

Magician Jeff Martin, of Salem, Ore., dazzled a group of teenagers with a three-card monte display and other sleight-of-hand tricks.

"Here, let me slow it down and show you again," said Martin, as onlookers stared slack-jawed in disbelief. "And that's why you never want to bet on this game."

Check out the piece and the two versions of Mr. Martin's photographs. 
Congratulations to Mr. Martin. 
Check out his website to learn the secret behind his nick-name "The Blond Curly-Haired Magician." Okay, it's not that big a secret but it is a great hook for future clients.
