Magic Convention Appleton – S.A.M. Annual Convention of Magic! 2026 Appleton

Dear Friends,

The Abbott’s Magic Company, the Colon Lions Club and the Colon Chamber of Commerce are proud to celebrate the 87th Annual Abbott’s Magic Get-Together. The dates are July 30,31,August 1st, 2nd, 2025. Once again, magicians from all over the world will migrate to Colon, Michigan, the Magic Capital of the World, to be a part of this family oriented event. Tents and campers will magically pop up everywhere to swell this tiny little village until it appears there is no room for even one more person. Everyone scampers to be a part of this fun convention which was named the #1 Unique Michigan Convention in the Detroit Free Press.

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.

2025 PCAM Convention

Eurodam Cruise Ship October 5 – 9th, 2025
We’re putting the SEA in PCAM (also the Pacific Coast) with this four-day magic cruise departing from Vancouver, BC and ending in San Diego, CA. This will be an affordably luxurious magic convention featuring amazing shows and lectures, with non-stop food, friends, and good times.

Presenters for the convention:
(Presenters will also present a full show of their own.)
James Cielen
Gold Medal Magic
James Cielen is one of only eight magicians to win the Gold Medal for Excellence in Stage Performance from the International Brotherhood of Magicians. Even better proof of excellence is the successful career which has followed, including what may be the longest-running contract in the history of cruise ship magicians. We’ll get to see James on his home turf, thrilling audiences in the 890-seat World Stage theatre, plus a PCAM-exclusive talk where we can learn from his experience.

Peter Samelson
“The soft-spoken conceptualist of sorcery” – New York Times
On a recent Fool Us performance, Penn praises Peter Samelson as “one of the greatest living magicians,” and Jamy Ian Swiss writes “I used to say that Peter Samelson is the most influential magician you’ve never heard of.” Except the secret is now out. From his groundbreaking publication Theatrical Close-Up to producing the longest running Off-Broadway Magic Show in New York City, he shows his commitment to performing magic as an artist. He’ll be teaching us, by example, what it means to experience magic.

Louie Foxx
“A Variety Artist in the the truest sense of the word” – M-U-M
Louie Foxx never stops. He never stops moving, on the road as one of the busiest entertainers in the Pacific Northwest, delighting audiences of kids, families, adults, and seniors in every town along the way. He never stops learning, as an avid collector gaining hands-on insight to the history of magic and magicians through long-lost props. He never stops creating, inventing wildly original tricks grounded in the practical needs of a working pro. Louie will inspire you to get your magic moving!

Daniel Garcia
“Every time I think I’ve come up with something brilliant, I run it by Garcia… and he quietly makes it 10x better.” – Justin Willman
Daniel Garcia is the secret ingredient to many of the most successful magicians in the world. David Blaine, Dynamo, Piff, and Justin Willman all bring their ideas to Daniel for his insight and imagination. Thousands more magicians around the world carry DG tricks in their daily repertoire. Cyril says “he brings both genius and generosity to the table, and makes everyone better just by being in the room.” We’re looking forward to inviting him into our room at PCAM.
