A new magic festival appears in Colon..
COLON – There’s at least one really good reason that Rick Fisher of FAB Magic Manufacturing Co. thinks Colon can handle another magic festival on its calendar.
“Our claim to fame is the magic capital of the world. There’s only one magic capital of the world,” Fisher said Friday. “There ought to be all kinds of events going on every single month in the magic capital of the world.”
The people of Colon and regular visitors, of course, are no strangers to magic performances. Abbott’s Magic Get Together will hold its 78th event there this year, and Michigan Magic Day’s 2014 events were in Colon.
