Ton and Satoshi Onosaka have been bringing new Japanese performers to the get
together for a number of years and this will be no exception. They haven't given us the name yet, but you know the act will be worth
seeing. Add this to the 2 Chinese acts coming, and you'll see a lot of new talent from Asia (including Liu Zihao who is the Chinese National Champion in Manipulation) only at Abbott's.
History will be made with the opening act at the Get Together on Wed,
Aug 4th. Bill Pitts, a past president of the International Brotherhood
of Magicians will be the opening act along with his wife Ruth. Why is
this history? The first time Bill performed at the Get Together was 67
years ago at the 6th Annual Get Together. Bill has a long history with
Abbotts. His father was an amateur magicians and started Bill in Magic
at an early age. In fact, during World War II while Bill was in the
Air Force he often received packages from Percy Abbott and Recil
Bordner. After Service in the mid 1040's Bill started writing a column
called FUTURE GREATS for Tops Magazine that ran for 17 years.
His wife, Ruth also has a long history in Magic performing around the
world on 13 different cruise lines and leading hotels with her late
husband.
