About The Magicians: Dan Sperry, the Shock Illusionist and Anti-Conjuror, who hails from Las Vegas, NV has been described as David Copperfield meets Marilyn Manson and is the only illusionist to ever be awarded the title of most original magician on FOX’s “World Magic Awards.” His show combines illusion and the bizarre with satirical macabre humor. It is non-stop mayhem set to an industrial musical score with razor blades, buzz saws, voodoo, blood and more. Sperry has toured with Masters of Illusion Live! and was featured in the 6th and 7th seasons of the hit television series Masters of Illusion on The CW Network.

Spending his summers just miles from the strip in Atlantic City, Turco saw every magic show in the area and was intent to master each trick and illusion on his own. He has had his own show in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood casino and brought a little bit of Jersey to the strip. The press describes Turco as “a natural born talent… a true success story.” Michael Turco has been with the Masters of Illusion tour for several years now and has appeared multiple times on the award winning TV series Masters of Illusion on The CW Network.
