New Magic Festival Coming To Southwestern Michigan Community

COLON, Mich. (AP) - A new celebration of magic is coming to southwestern Michigan.

The Battle Creek Enquirer reports "31 Flavors of Magic" is Saturday in Colon, with shows at a dozen locations and magicians performing for kids and adults. The event is hosted by International Brotherhood of Magicians Ring 386.

Member and organizer Ron Carnell says the gathering's name is appropriate because there are many kinds of magic.

Colon has a number of magic shops. The rural St. Joseph County community is home to the annual Abbott's Magic Get-Together that's hosted by Abbott's Magic Co., a major producer of magic tricks and supplies.

Rick Fisher of FAB Magic Manufacturing Co. says Colon's "claim to fame is the magic capital of the world" and it can handle another magic festival.
