As the former home and burial site of the famous magician, Harry Blackstone, Sr. (The Great Blackstone), Colon refers to itself as "The Magic Capital of the World." It is the home of the Abbott Magic Company, founded by magicians Percy Abbott, an Australian and friend of Blackstone's, and Recil Bordner, originally from Eaton, Ohio, in 1934. The company has a local store, showroom and a factory where magicians' supplies and new tricks are manufactured. Abbott Magic is well-known among professional stage acts, with customers around the world. Two other younger magic suppliers also call Colon their home, FAB Magic and the Sterlini Magic Manufacturing Company. Each August more than 1,000 magicians and lovers of magic gather there for "Abbott's Magic Get-Together", a 4 day magic convention, doubling the population, sharing magic tricks, and recollecting their knowledge of the famous occupation. The convention concludes each day with an evening show at Colon High School. Colon is a village in St. Joseph County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 1,227 at the 2000 census. The village is located within Colon Township. The village is named after the shape of Palmer Lake, and is not the only place in Michigan so named. Colon also has a small Amish community. According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.7 square miles (4.4 km2), of which, 1.4 square miles (3.6 km2) of it is land and 0.3 square miles (0.78 km2) of it (18.71%) is water. The town is flanked by Long Lake and Palmer Lake, which are connected by a narrow channel. -wiki Note: The location shown is not of the photo, but rather that of Abbott's Magic Shop.

Staff was exceptionally rude on the phone prior to arrival and during the stay. Upon entering the room the surfaces were covered in drywall dust from the construction. There was paint and plaster on the floor. Old food that had not been cleaned behind the night stands. The bathtub/shower drain did not flow, so as you took a shower the tub would fill quit quickly. Went to ask about having it looked at and waited for over 30-minutes to have someone finally come to the desk and say they could not help with the issue and would need to talk to someone else. The mattress in the room did not have a protector on it so it was the bare mattress with a sheet over it which seemed unsanitary. The construction activities going on left construction materials and tools throughout the main lobby and hallways to the elevators. During the day access to the elevator and pool were essentially blocked off by the workers. While traveling through the hallway it was necessary to step over the materials and tools to make it anywhere and made getting through with kids difficult. While using the pool the workers were staring into the pool room from the hallway which was uncomfortable while children were swimming. The pool room had some broken tiles and sharp edges around it. I am generally understanding about construction activities but this was extremely mismanaged and unprofessional.
