Magicians will be performing in the streets, restaurants and bars. The annual craft fair will take place on Friday and Saturday. Visit the Colon Historical Museum for a special Magic adventure or take a cemetery tour where many famous and not so famous magicians have chose to perform their final act and become a permanent part of the magical history of Colon. You also don’t want to miss the 3 free magic shows daily on the streets of Colon by some of the country’s top busking magicians.
Each of the four days ends with a world class magic and variety show held in the air-conditioned Colon High School Auditorium. These are not your average birthday party magicians and each show is different, with comedy, large illusions, variety acts, and much more.
