Tabman Magic by Tabby Crabb, Ancient Springs Publishing Company

Details: Known as The Tabman, Tabby Crabb moved through the inner circles of Close up and comedy magic for two decades both with his skill at crafting magic accessories like the famous Tabman Tables, Casino Chips, Knife through Arm, fine hardwood magicians’ Wands and much, much more and appearing onstage and backstage with Amazing Johnathan and Kozak the Magician.

Additionally Tabman spent five years as the hotel shows director for The International Brotherhoond of Magicians. This book tells the truth about many relationships in the magic field. Relationships with customers like Max Maven, Harry Anderson and Paul Kozak and AJ and contemporary associates like Jeff Busby, Scotty York, Howie Schwarzman and more legends of Close Up and Bar and Comedy magic and ultimately the sale of the props business.

Could you call this a “tell all book”; the answer is yes? Also covers all of The Tabman’s effects and props and much, much more.
