A new magic festival appears in Colon..

COLON – There’s at least one really good reason that Rick Fisher of FAB Magic Manufacturing Co. thinks Colon can handle another magic festival on its calendar.

“Our claim to fame is the magic capital of the world. There’s only one magic capital of the world,” Fisher said Friday. “There ought to be all kinds of events going on every single month in the magic capital of the world.”

The people of Colon and regular visitors, of course, are no strangers to magic performances. Abbott’s Magic Get Together will hold its 78th event there this year, and Michigan Magic Day’s 2014 events were in Colon.

The downtown area features three magic shops that, in their own ways, also serve as repositories of the history of the craft; besides FAB, Sterlini Magic Co. and Abbott’s Magic Co. are competing to get magicians the supplies they need and introduce beginners to their first tricks.  Read more at:

Jonathan Ross aims to cast spell on America with version of magic show that flopped in Britain..

Chat show star Jonathan Ross will try to crack the US by hosting a magic show.

Ross, 54, will next month film a US version of Penn & Teller: Fool Us, which was axed by ITV in 2011.

He told the Mirror he would fit the filming into a two week schedule to avoid being apart from his wife Jane Goldman and their three children for too long.

The presenter said: “I am going to do 13 shows, maybe 20. I love Penn & Teller.”  Read the rest and watch the videos at:
