Local master illusionist David Caserta, star of the State Theatre's annual Halloween spectacular Haunted Illusions, is scheduled to appear on the hit TV show PENN & TELLER: FOOL US on Thursday, July 20th at 8 PM on The CW network.

After auditioning with several thousand other magicians, Caserta was chosen to perform one of his signature new illusions: "Cutting." It took 2 years of development to come up with an illusion that would test the knowledge of Vegas headliners, Penn and Teller. In March, David flew out to Las Vegas and spent the week rehearsing, filming interviews, and performing in the main showroom at the RIO Hotel.

About David David grew up in Walnutport and now considers Nazareth his home when he isn't touring the country performing in his illusion spectacular. When he was just 12 years old, he found a magic shop in downtown Allentown that would teach him private magic lessons. That led him to produce his first large stage show for his high school classmates at Northampton Senior High. He then studied Theater Arts at Muhlenberg College and went on to perform and develop illusions for some of their stage musical productions.
