Six award-winning magicians, who have amazed audiences in the world's

performing the original act with which she fooled Penn & Teller on their
TV show Penn & Teller: Fool Us. The other equally talented and amazing
acts include Stoil & Ekaterina, Devlin and Chris Capehart (who also
fooled Penn & Teller in his Fool Us appearance). Mark Mitton, an
acclaimed magician, event producer and magic consultant as well as a
longtime member of Parent Assembly will be honored as Magician of the Year.

The show will be held in the historic Playhouse Theatre at the Abrons

"We are so pleased to have brought together these talented and diverse
performers," said Robert Braun who is producing the show for Parent
Assembly. "The evening will feature a fast-paced quick change act, wry
and hilarious comedy, strikingly original takes on classic tricks, and
innovative new magic from an up and coming magician who already has made
a mark in the field. It is rare to have conjurors of this calibre
together in one show and any lovers of magic, including families looking
for a great evening of entertainment should make sure to attend."
