Hosted by Abbott’s Magic Company, the Colon Lions Club, and the Colon Chamber of Commerce, this beloved celebration of magic has become one of the most unique conventions in America.

When the Magic Takes Over Colon, Michigan
Each August, the population of Colon seems to magically multiply overnight.
Magicians, performers, collectors, families, and magic enthusiasts arrive from all over the world. Tents and campers appear across fields and yards as visitors fill the town to experience one of the most charming and unusual festivals anywhere.
For four magical days, Colon becomes a living stage.
You might walk down the street and see:

A street performer amazing spectators with daring busking magic
-
A comedy magician entertaining diners at a local restaurant
-
Spontaneous magic happening in shops, bars, and sidewalks
It’s a place where magic doesn’t stay on stage—it spills into everyday life.
Street Magic, Buskers, and Free Daily Shows
One of the most exciting parts of the Abbott’s Magic Get-Together is the constant street entertainment happening throughout town.
Visitors can enjoy three free magic shows daily, performed by some of the country’s best street magicians and buskers. These artists specialize in high-energy, interactive performances that draw crowds and deliver unforgettable moments.
Expect to see:
-
Incredible sleight-of-hand
-
Mind-blowing close-up magic
-
Comedy magic with audience participation
-
Classic street illusions and modern magic surprises
Because the shows happen outdoors throughout town, it creates an atmosphere unlike any other event. Magic appears everywhere—sometimes planned, sometimes spontaneous.
Craft Fair, Local Attractions, and Magical History
The Abbott’s Magic Get-Together isn’t just for magicians—it’s also a wonderful experience for families, tourists, and anyone who enjoys unique festivals.
One of the highlights is the annual craft fair, held Friday and Saturday, where visitors can explore handmade goods, art, souvenirs, and local crafts.
But the real magic lies in Colon’s rich history.
Visit the Colon Historical Museum
The Colon Historical Museum offers visitors a fascinating journey into the town’s magical heritage. Colon has long been associated with legendary performers and magic creators, and the museum preserves stories, artifacts, and memorabilia from magic’s golden age.
For fans of magic history, it’s a must-see stop.
Take the Famous Magician Cemetery Tour
Another uniquely Colon experience is the cemetery tour, where visitors can pay tribute to famous magicians who chose Colon as their final resting place.
These performers helped shape the art of magic, and their legacy lives on in the town that continues to celebrate their craft.
It’s both a historical experience and a touching reminder of magic’s lasting impact.
Nightly World-Class Magic Shows
Each day of the convention builds toward a spectacular evening finale.
