Fantastic Magic Center Virtual Tour 2020
In 2020, Kent Cummins led a virtual tour of the Fantastic Magic Center for a live event. Things have evolved since this was broadcast, but it gives a good idea of the nature of the center and what Kent Cummins is preserving.

I guess I have a similar bug to collecting Magic and Puppets.
I was a support act to the big stars when variety was in full flow, I still perform on a regular basis adult family shows and childrens shows.
I too have a museum devoted to puppets and a magic shop see http://www.blackpoolpuppetsmuseum.co.uk
my own web site shows you what I have been doing at galas and fetes.
Hope we can chat say hello folks.
I an in Blackpool home of the biggest magician Convention in the World.
So if you visit Blackpool England you must come and visit us .
Keep up the good work

Martin…
Thank you for reaching out across the pond. I am a member of the Magic Circle, nut haven’t been to London since 1967!
I loved seeing the Pelham Puppets again. I had several when i was performing puppets hows, although since my mom was a professional puppeteer, I also had some hand made just for me.
If (WHEN) I get back to the UK, I certainly hope to visit your museum. And if (WHEN) you come to the US, I hope you will schedule time to come see my Fantastic Magic Center.
In the meantime, I think you would enjoy my podcast, “Tales from the Fantastic magic center. I will do an episode on puppetry for magicians some time next year.
