David Acer - is an award-winning writer, comedian, and inventor of magic tricks who has done crazy things on television shows around the world, like protesting outside a train station dressed as a giant penny while inviting people to lie down on the tracks to “see how it feels." And limping to the couch for a talkshow interview with a Denver boot on his leg because he had “a few unpaid j-walking tickets.” But younger viewers (and insomniacs) are more likely to recognize him as "Doubting Dave" from the syndicated show, Mystery Hunters, which earned him two Gemini nominations (the Canadian equivalent of the Emmys) for Best Writing in a Children’s Non-Fiction Series, and the publication of his spin-off book, GOTCHA!, now a Canadian bestseller. Over the past 25 years, David has also published an eclectic array of groundbreaking magic, leading to performances at The Magic Castle, lectures at F.I.S.M., and the 2009 Magician of the Year award from the Canadian Association of Magicians.

Lyn Dillies, Master illusionist has mesmerized audiences of all ages throughout the U.S. and Canada for over two decades. Hailed as the finest female magician in the land, Lyn’s engaging personality, along with the hypnotic lighting effects and dynamic music of her show, wrap the audience in a blanket of spectacular, eye-defying illusions that keep them saying, “How did she do that?”

Appearing on numerous television shows, Lyn has shared the stage with such notable entertainers as Marvin Hamlisch, Jeff Dunham, Bill Engval, Crystal Gayle, and Mikhail Baryshnikov. Using an original concept that took years of planning, Lyn performs her "Magic At The Symphony" program live with symphonies all around the country including several performances at Lincoln Center. This program combines the majesty of classical music with Lyn’s breathtaking illusions encouraging children to discover the magic of classical music while experiencing the harmony of her illusions. Some of the symphonies she has performed with include the San Diego Symphony, Virginia Symphony, San Antonio Symphony and the Utah Symphony. A television special is in the works integrating "Magic At The Symphony" with an educational component introducing the symphony and classical music to children.

One of the proudest moments of Lyn’s career was when she became the first illusionist in magic history to make two live Asian elephants, Ruth and Emily, appear in succession. The event was held outdoors in front of a live audience for the grand opening of the Buttonwood Park Zoo in her hometown of New Bedford, MA. It took eight months to prepare for this incredible spectacle and required more than 5,000 square feet of fabric, 300 feet of truss, two cases of red seedless grapes (the pachyderms' favorite treat) and a little sleight of trunk!
