This week, Ira spoke with Greg Bordner, owner of Abbott’s Magic Company and the 83rd Abbott Magic Get Together (August 4-7). In this magical episode of Ira’s Everything Bagel, Greg talks about the history of the venerable Abbott’s Magic Company, which has been making tricks since 1934; the magic get together in the town of Colin, Michigan; why veteran magicians such as Lance Burton and Mac King return to be part of the annual Get Together; why Greg calls the event, “Vegas Comes To Mayberry”; celebrities who have visited Abbot’s (including Muhammad Ali); why he’s optimistic about the future of magic; and why “Life is too short to watch bad magic.”
