Plunge into 2017 with Magic at Coney!

New Years at Coney Island has always been a highly anticipated regional event. Thanks to the Polar Bear Plunge, January 1st is the second largest gathering of the year, after the summertime Mermaid's Parade. People come from all over the region to take the plunge into the ice cold waters of the Atlantic. This year, in conjunction with Coney Island USA and the Coney Island Circus Sideshow, Magic at Coney!!! is helping to keep the fun alive with two very special Sunday performances in the 50 seat theatre at the Coney Island Museum. The magical variety act hosted by well-known, award winning local magician, Gary Dreifus and will include mentalists, illusionists and escape artists.

Gary Driefus is the founder, producer and host of Magic at Coney!!! and has been performing magic, mentalism and hypnosis for over 40 years. He has designed and taught magic programs at several schools, colleges, community and senior centers and is one of the select few individuals to receive the coveted degree of Doctor of Magic from the International Magicians Society. The weekly show has been "upgraded" in response to give crowds a little "extra" for the holiday, but also to remind people of the importance of supporting live entertainment.

"Magic still wows crowds," says Dreifus. "You let children watch a live magic act and their minds explode. They want to know how it's done. They get excited about life's possibilities, and that's why we do what we do. We've got an incredible lineup and can't wait to perform."

Performances are every Sunday at Noon with two shows on New Year's Day at 12 pm and 3:00 pm. There will be no show on December 25th. Seating is limited so it is advisable to purchase tickets early.

Take the Plunge!
