Last Year’s Events Highlights
Last Year’s Program Leaders
John Cassidy
John Cassidy’s journey into the world of magic began with a fascination for the impossible. As a young magician, he quickly realized that his true passion lay not only in the tricks themselves but in the art of entertaining people. His performances have always been infused with a natural sense of humor and charm that makes him stand out in the world of magic. From his very first performance, John captivated audiences with his comedic timing, clever wit, and ability to turn even the simplest magic trick into a hilarious, unforgettable moment. He learned that magic wasn’t just about the illusion; it was about creating a connection with the audience, making them laugh, and leaving them in awe all at the same time.
Stephen Caruso
Stephen Caruso is a dynamic entertainer with skills for days. He has been voted Pennsylvania’s Funniest Comic and performed his variety show for Flava Flav. He has also headlined on Royal Caribbean, Holland America, and at Sandals Resorts. Stephen is a big fan of throwing things, so in addition to performing one of the most sought-after variety shows on the East Coast, Stephen also owns and operates a mobile axe-throwing service. When Stephen is not throwing things up in the air, you can probably find him throwing things at a wall in front of him.
Michael McLaughlin
Michael McLaughlin presents an interactive evening of sophisticated magic and mind reading designed to captivate audiences of all ages. Blending sharp wit with astonishing sleight-of-hand and psychological illusion, Michael doesn’t just perform tricks — he creates unforgettable moments. With heavy audience participation, Michael appears to get inside people’s heads, reveal personal thoughts, and even predict impossible outcomes before they happen. Smart, engaging, and impossible to ignore, this is high-impact entertainment that leaves guests laughing, amazed, and questioning what they thought was possible.
David Garrity
David Garrity uses visual magic and illusions combined with music, pantomime, situation comedy and audience participation to entertain audiences of all ages and backgrounds. David performs over 400 shows annually around the U.S.A. and internationally and his “Mysterious Deceptions” show has been seen at corporate functions, theaters, colleges and countless other events. Most recently, David has been seen at the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City, NJ; the National Theater in Washington, DC; Silja Cruise Lines in Sweden; and a tour of exclusive all-inclusive resorts along the Yucatan Peninsula on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico.
