Chris Capehart

Chris Capehart is a master magician. He is respected throughout the world by his peers, applauded for his skills by the most famous of magicians and is sought after for repeat performances by his many clients. His quick comeback verbal skills have also made him an outstanding comedian.

He has done it all, starting out as one of the most popular and successful street performers in New York City, he now performs on the biggest stages, for the largest corporations, on cruise lines, and in his spare time entertains school children throughout the East Coast. He has been published and imitated throughout the world.

He is the winner of the Senator Crandall Award for Comedy and has been nominated for Parlor Magician of The Year, fifteen times, by the Academy of Magical Arts and Sciences in Hollywood. 

Bob Yorburg

Bob Yorburg has been a long time professional magician who is the only person to perform illusions on the field of both Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium between innings. He was the very first “Magic Burger King,” he starred in the very first magic instructional video for the public, he has appeared in many television commercials and on TV shows, and is known for his traveling flea circus.

His current performing character is “Professor Phineas Feelgood” who performs fast-paced magic and comedy in the style made popular in the early days of Coney Island. 

Peter Samelson

Peter Samelson is more than an illusionist, he is an artist who blends simplicity and sophistication to provoke thought and inspire wonder. The New York Times called him, “…the soft-spoken conceptualist of sorcery.”

Peter also performs and designs for television, film and theater, creating magic for Sam Mendes’ Cherry Orchard and Winters Tale, the national tour of Pippin, the musical Houdini, Tom Stoppard’s Travesties, and the Menotti opera The Consul. With Hal Meyers, he created illusions for the films What About Bob and Whispers in the Dark. Mostly recently Peter designed for the Broadway shows Leap of Faith and Harvey.

As a theatrical performer he created and starred in three critically acclaimed one-man Off-Broadway shows; The Magician, PaperWork, and Radnevsky’s Real Magic. He has appeared on NBC, ABC, CNN, CBS and FOX interview and news shows as well as the PBS special The Art of Magic

Meir Yedid

Meir Yedid has given a totally new interpretation to the phrase “sleight of hand.” Disregarding the conventional accessories of the magician, Meir’s nimble hands provide the setting and backdrop for a unique, visual and funny show.

His numerous awards include: Magician of The Year by SAMPA, he was the first person to ever win the Society of American Magicians Close-Up Magic Championship more than once, he was the Guest of Honor at the prestigious Obie’s 4F Convention and most recently received a Christopher Foundation award for his contributions to magic. His television appearances include: Comedy Tonight (FOX), The Paul Daniels Show (BBC), Knoff Hoff Show (ZDFTV), Mind Over Matter (ACTV), Best Trick Ever (ABC2 [2 episodes]) and dozens of others that include some of the highest rated television shows in Japan, Germany, Australia and England.

His live shows and seminars have literally been seen all over the world in both the largest and smallest nightclubs, hotels and theaters and of course Las Vegas Casinos and even an Off-Broadway show.

SHOW SOLD OUT!

Last year the Society of American Magicians produced a show for their annual convention titled The Jersey Boys Of Magic that featured six of the best magicians in New Jersey. The show ended up winning a Producer’s Award (the first time that award was ever presented).

Since then there have been several attempts to reunite the group for a fringe festival or some trade shows but scheduling conflicts made it impossible… until now. Four of the original members, David Corsaro, Will Fern, Rocco Silano, and Meir Yedid will be appearing in this Jersey Boys of Magic Reunion Show as part of the Magic After Dark series at the Turning Point.


David Corsaro

David Corsaro is a consummate professional who is equipped to entertain audiences as small as one to a theater of thousands. He is a regular MC and performer at New York City’s longest running Off-Broadway magic show and has performed his amazing feats of magic for Fortune 500 companies (Wrigley’s, Panasonic, Nestle, and Viacom) as well as top music acts (Chicago, Earth Wind and Fire and The Milwaukees).

David also donates his talent for a variety of charitable organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Hurricane Sandy Relief and Lions International. David’s personal brand of magic can be described as an enthusiastic blend of magic and comedy that will have you laughing while riveted to his every move.

He is also the producer of the annual Martinis and Magic benefit for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the host of the web show for magicians, Time To Be Awesome.

Will Fern

Will Fern has been a busy performer in and around the NYC area for more than twenty years. From corporate events to cruise ships and all manner of private affairs, Will has a trademark style combining good clean fun and amazing magic.

He spent several years honing his craft in Barbados, is a regular at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, and is best known among his peers for his strolling magic at all manner of affairs, in which he was crowned “International Champion” in 2011.

Rocco Silano

Early on in his career, Rocco studied under the legendary sleight-of-hand master Tony Slydini.  After winning the Golden Lion Award for stage and close-up magic from Siegfried & Roy in 1986, his career began to flourish as a magic teacher, innovator, and world class performer.

Rocco has probably won more major awards for his magic than anyone he is the recipient of the Merlin and Golden Lion Awards, a two-time winner of the coveted Manhattan Association of Cabarets Award, and has been nominated nine times as Magician of the Year by the Academy of Magical Arts in four different categories. He won two FISM World Championships awards (1994 in Yokohama Japan and 2006 in Stockholm, Sweden). He was most recently the Guest of Honor at Obie’s 4F Convention which is the most prestigious gathering of close-up magicians in the world.

Rocco has appeared in the VH1 celebrity magic reality series, Celebracadabra where he was the adviser and guide for celebrity partner and 1st runner-up, Hal Sparks.

He just came back from performing hundreds of shows at the famed Studio City Casino in Macau followed by a 30-city theater tour throughout China. 

Meir Yedid

Meir Yedid has given a totally new interpretation to the phrase “sleight of hand.” Disregarding the conventional accessories of the magician, Meir’s nimble hands provide the setting and backdrop for a unique, visual and funny show.
