Miracles and Magic This Saturday March 12th at the Riffe Center

I cannot say enough about Miracles and Magic the best comedy/magic show in the Midwest.

This is where I started my journey with the charity A Kid Again.  Jon Petz sent me an email telling me I could get discount tickets if I called CAPA direct.  After seeing the show I knew I had to do something for the charity.

This will be my third year photographing the show and every year it keeps getting better.  Considering how much it has grown since Jon and his wife Stacey sold tickets out of their kitchen and the show was held at a local high school theater.
Today the show is held at the Riffe Center in the Captial Theater and hopefully this year will be a sell out.
Top name magicians from around the country have been performing to help raise funds for the charity.
This year Jon hopes to top the $1,000,000 mark of funds raised since the inception of the show. Every show ends with a special effect called "Snow".  Jon brings a child onto the stage with him and together they produce snow that falls from the stage ceiling and then entire theater has snow falling around the crowd.
 This part of the show was the clincher for me to get in contact with Jon and offer my professional services to the charity.
The show is also performed in Cincinnati and Dayton and hopefully will be in Cleveland within the next year or two.  You may purchase tickets by calling the CAPA office directly 614-469-0939 (M-F) or going to www.miraclesandmagic.com.  The show is geared around all age groups so the children will have just as much fun as the adults.  Be prepared to laugh and to see some amazing magic.
For the adults who want to have a great evening out on the town with great magic, specialty drinks and all out enjoyable evening plan to attend the Opening Night Party.  The LC Pavilion will be the host this year with a large stage for magic performances and some other surprises.  You may purchase tickets by visiting www.miraclesandmagic.com .
