The Texas Renaissance Festival has been great fun! There were a lot of mischief makers over Halloween Weekend. Alishas mask is designed and made by Mischief Masks. Alisha flaunts our large bat neckpiece and Stacy is decorated in spiders!

Molly
Fire and Sword Swallowing
There are many wonderful shows and performers. We wonder if Molly may have a future in knife throwing. She sure pitches a mean softball!
Black Cat Customers
The barbarians invade.
Our family is blessed to get to work and play together!
Marty, Alisha and John
Below are behind the scene photos of what it takes to make MAGIC happen and to get a Renaissance shop open. We were fortunate that this shop came up for sale but the family had less than two months to repair, paint, dig and electrify the shop. SHOW TIME!

Another Trip to Lowes
A Family workday prepping to open the new Marty Magic shop
Alisha’s husband Sterling is a certified electrician. You may think that when you are entering a Renaissance Festival you are stepping into the 15th century but all must be to code with handicapped access and liability insurance.

The New Marty Magic Shop at the Texas Renaissance Festival
Tighten your corset and polish your armor and visit our shop at the Texas Renaissance Festival. Eight weekends between October 8-9through Thanksgiving weekend.
SHOW TIME!
Oh Marty, what a trip. So love seeing the whole family and helpers making the magic happen.
Great work everyone. You’ve done it again.
The storage benches that Chad is building go in tomorrow. There will be one on each side of the shop where we can store tarps and where patient customers partners can rest while their friends shop. Still so much to do!
