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.

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.

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.

November 9, 2017 Show

posted in: Past Shows | 0

Our second Magic After Dark show is scheduled for Thursday November 9 and will feature: David Oliver, Skip “The Prince Of Mystery” Daniels,  John Pizzi, and Meir Yedid as host.

 

David Oliver

For more than 20 years David Oliver has entertained audiences on cruises, in hotels and at resorts to rave reviews. Universities, comedy clubs, cabarets and corporate events across the U.S. have asked David to come back and perform again, and again. His TV appearances include: The Early Show (CBS), Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (ABC) and a feature on the Discovery Channel.

In 2013 David took a short break from magic for recuperation and recovery after his double lung transplant. He is now better than ever and as Matt Lauer (Host of NBC’s Today Show) described it… “The most amazing magic I’ve ever seen.”

Skip Daniels

Known professionally as “The Prince Of Mystery,” Skip’s lifelong passion for magic has led to a very successful career with his very unique magical comedy performances at fairs, festivals and theatres throughout the United States. Based out of Boston, he is a regular fixture of the comedy club scene and can often be seen at the Comedy Studio in Cambridge.

Skip explained that his character is an orphan from Upstate New York who used to get locked up in the attic, where he found a magic book, so he taught himself magic. Then escaped because he was able to pick locks.

A Dartmouth Week review of his show explained, “The Prince of Mystery, as bitingly sardonic as he is whimsical, bedazzled the audience with feats of magic (and, presumably, mystery) all while swaggering across the stage to ‘80s standards. He was a big hit.”

John Pizzi

John Pizzi is a world class Ventriloquist, Magician and Comedian. He has opened for Jerry Vale, Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge, Joy Behar, Weird Al Yankovic, The Trammps, The Regents, Al Martino, Clint Holmes and many others. He was a regular headliner at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas and he currently appears at the Borgata in Atlantic City.

His television credits include: America’s Got Talent, Late Night with David Letterman, The Daily Show, America’s Funniest People, Rascals Comedy Hour, and much more.

His high energy one-man shows have taken him to comedy clubs, resorts, colleges, and theaters across the United States. He is also a regular at the Friars Club in New York City and Los Angeles. 

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.
