Many of you who have followed the Abbott Magic Company over the past 75 years know that some of the greatest magical thinkers and showman have affiliated themselves with Abbotts. Magicians Gus Rapp, Neil Foster, Monk Watson and Blackstone come to mind. Two names that are heralded as being behind the scenes influences are Bud West and Arturo. These 2 craftsmen built, improved and invented an array of tricks that could fill a catalog. Abbott's is pleased to offer from Bud West, an item that will become highly collectible. The New Imperial Ensemble. This trio of tables will look both marvelous displaying your collection and performing with you on stage. Originally designed by Arturo, Bud West has built a limited number of sets in his own distinctive style, combining Arturo's designs and Bud's workmanship. Bud West has made magic for over 50 years and now is your chance to get a very limited edition of the Imperial Ensemble. These tables are substantial and well proportioned. Built to handle props and built to pack flat. Beautiful graphics, paint and finish throughout. Arturo and original Bud West magic will continue to appreciate in value. Do not miss this, they will not be built again. The complete ensemble is $900.00.

The Greatest Magic Un Earthed
Abbotts has begun working on its 2012 Halloween project which we have affectionately called “The Greatest Magic Un-Earthed” and it will compliment last years Halloween special (which ended up creating a new Halloween Magic category on Tops and also a new webpage of its own called Creepy Magic).
The difference this year is that instead of using Halloween to spice up magic, we will be using Magic to spice up Halloween.
Like we did last year we are looking for your idea’s on how to use magic and principles of magic to create killer Halloween illusions and decorations that one would expect to see when visiting a magicians home in October.
People who send in articles (pics and videos most welcome) will receive full credit for their contribution and will also receive a free instant download from Abbotts (select from any of our 700+ $4 downloads which we believe to be the largest selection of magic downloads un-earthed) Have multiple articles and you can have multiple downloads!
Abbott's T-Shirts, Glasses, Cups, Shot Glasses, Kids Stuff, Sweatshirts, Hats, and Mousepads are just a small fraction of the hundreds of Official Abbott products available to you online. Whether its a water bottle to keep you cool at the summer Get Together or a thermos to keep you warm at the winter Closeup Convention, you'll find something for everyone and for every time of the year at Abbott Magic Get Together Gear!
Thanks to all who attended the 2012 Flea Market and Auction (both sellers and buyers) and helped make it a success.
We have already begun stockpiling magic for the next major event, the 75th Magic Get Together, and we plan (like last year) on an even bigger table for discount magic than we did last year.
