Lakeside Cemetery, Michigan, United States
5.0 (4 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in St. Joseph County Cemeteries • Mysterious Sites
Unusual but interesting field trip
We read about this in one of the community newspapers and decided it would be a fun short road trip. We enjoyed it enough that we dragged another couple back a week later. There are probably 20 or so magicians who have chosen to be buried in the newer part of this large cemetery (facing from road it is to the right). It's obviously free and some of the old graves are also interesting, but it is a fun 20 - 30 minute stop before going to Abbott's Magic in town.

Magicians are dying to get in!
Over 40 Magicians are buried here and many living ones already have a plot. The headstones are very interesting. Many non-magician graves also have interesting headstones. Free! Store in town at Abbott's Magic shop, they know the tons of facts about the graves.

Magicians are dying to get in!
Went to Abbott's Magic shop and they suggested seeing the Lakeside Cemetery. Over 40 Magicians are buried there and many that are still living already our a plot. Colon has become the final resting place of many prominent figures in the magic community. The Lakeside Cemetery is where Harry Blackstone, Sr. (Harry Bouton), Pete and Millie Bouton, Harry Blackstone, Jr., and Robert & Elaine Lund, the founders of the American Museum of Magic, are a few among those interned there. Many interesting headstones, like “Now I only have to fool St. Peter.”
