About Colon

Sitting between Sturgeon Lake and Palmer Lake in southwest Michigan, Colon holds the surprising title of the Magic Capital of the World. That reputation dates back to the Abbott Magic Company and legendary illusionist Harry Blackstone, drawing performers from all over every August for an annual magic festival. For anyone moving here, though, Colon is mostly a quiet, laid-back lake town where daily life centers around fishing, boating, and friendly neighbors.
