COLON, MI (WTVB) – The 82nd Annual Abbott’s Magic Get Together in Colon wraps up Saturday.
Abbott’s Magic Company, the Colon Lions Club and the Colon Chamber of Commerce have put on the event which draws magicians from all over the world to the normally quiet community in St. Joseph County which is known as the Magic Capital of the World.
Colon has a population of about 1,200, but it gets crowded during the four day event which dates back to 1926 when Harry Blackstone Senior and his family came to town. His friend Percy Abbott visited him in 1934 and eventually decided to open Abbott’s Magic Company in Colon.
