Magic in the Park

Show Description

Magic in the Park is a magical journey and entertainment showcase that pays homage to the late Dr. Abraham B. Hurwitz, New York City’s “Official Magician”.  Continuing in the tradition of his legendary “Peter Pan the Magic Man” shows, Magic in the Park features magic acts, mentalism, juggling, ventriloquism, puppetry, music, and much more.

The New York Times, in 1981, wrote that Hurwitz “entertained more than a million young people” at free performances in New York City’s schools, parks, recreation centers and playgrounds.

Bring the family, your sense of history, and join this elite group of participants as Magic in the Park dazzles you for 70 minutes with the likes of Abe’s grand-daughter, Emmy Award winner Mallory Lewis with Lamb Chop (May 2, 16 and 23), The Magicomedian and "Dean of American Magicians" George Schindler (May 2, 16 and 23), Funny Guy, Magician Robert Baxt (May 2), Magician David Boyd (May 2), Greater Atlanta Magician of the Year Debbie Leifer (May 16) Ventriloquism extraordinaire Carla Rhodes (May 16), Jen Kramer (May 16) and Reuben Moreland (May 23) from the Society of Young Magicians, LA's Macabre Magician Rob Zabrecky (May 23) Juggler Jen Slaw (May 23) and our amusing Emcee, “Cajun Cellist” Sean Grissom (May 2, 16 and 23).
