When any curious kid can look up how to do a magic trick on YouTube rather than buy one of his props, "magic is a tough business," Bordner says. "If you want to know how to do cups and balls, you just Google it, bingo! You don’t have to send $5 to Greg Bordner!" But the internet is also helping profits. Sales are "more online everyday; PayPal has taken over," Bordner explains. Blackstone bought up 200 acres of land on one of Colon’s lakes, renamed it Blackstone Island, and set about inviting other itinerant magicians to join him. In 1927, an Australian magician named Percy Abbott came to town to do some fishing and never left — he married one of Blackstone’s showgirls, 21 years his junior.

Branded Experiences
"If this got canceled, we would still just come here to hang out for a week in August," Trino says. "These are the people you see on TV, these are the people touring around the world, and these are the people you might be eating pizza with at night. It just doesn’t happen like that." Margins are thin, so when a competing magic shop opened in Colon 11 years ago, Bordner was spooked. It didn’t help that Percy Abbott’s children, who no longer owned any of their father’s business, helped former pharmaceutical sales rep and amateur magician Rick Fisher open the new store. Colon is "where I grew up; I played on the football team with a fighting rabbit on my helmet. I know the people in the cemetery personally."

"You oughta have a magic shop on every corner!" As Fisher sees it, the more magic, the better, especially for the town. "For a while there was cooperation [with Abbott’s], we don’t see that cooperation now, and that’s too bad," he says. "Everybody wants to grow, but you gotta get Colon to grow with you." Bordner, the senior magic salesman, takes a dimmer view. "If I don’t get the $5 from that ball vase, someone else will, so I have to be nice to people," he says. One such beneficiary was Lance Burton, whose performances made him one of the most recognizable illusionists in the world after he won the Get Together magic competition in 1977. Today he can be found in the back workshop of Abbott’s, a meandering store with glass cases of tricks arranged around wooden bleachers where a matinee ventriloquist act was chattering on as part of the festival.

Any style will be completely customized with your logos and colors. Jaxon first turned to magic in his teenage years as a distraction from the death of his brother, but then he became completely deaf. Magic became a way to cope with his condition and interact with people in public. "If I didn’t go deaf, I probably wouldn’t be a magician right now," he says. Two years ago he got a cochlear implant, and now he’s suddenly a deaf magician who can hear. These days, "the guys that I knew, they’re all dead and gone," West says.

Boyce contrasts with someone like Ron Jaxon, a goateed man in a loose collared shirt, jeans, and fedora. Jaxon stopped by my table at the Colon American Legion — a wood-paneled cavern that’s a Get Together favorite for its cheeseburgers and $7 pitchers of beer — where magicians stroll the floor, pausing to perform. Jaxon tossed quarters from hand to hand, but they somehow disappeared in mid-flight. He moved the top half of a deck of cards with the shadow of his hand. One of the tenets of magical commerce is "we ain’t tellin’ if we ain’t sellin’," as Greg Bordner put it, but a quick Google search reveals that the trick can be performed with Silly Putty and some magician-standard invisible thread.
The magicians and spectators gradually filtered out of the bar toward several boxes of old decks of cards, the ingredients for another Colon tradition. "There are many old-school magicians who will not use tech," but younger magicians are "doing stuff with their iPhones and things like that," Bogunia says. "I don’t really like that because the phone is already very magical. The best way to use technology in magic is to hide it in a way that’s unsuspected, just like this." But like any good family reunion, the Get Together has its share of drama. Infighting over the town’s magical heritage has made it harder for aging magicians to cooperate in attracting new members to their community.
