The award-winning illusionist, Brad Ross-which ABC television hailed as "Illusionist Extraordinaire"-will perform on the Centenary Stage on Saturday, November 3rd at 2 p.m. in the Sitnik Theatre of the David and Carol Lackland Center in Hackettstown. Ross is an international star illusionist who combines magic, illusion, theatrics, comedy, and fun into a family-friendly experience for kids, parents, and grandparents.

Other magical luminaries who have been awarded the Merlin Award include David Copperfield, Criss Angel, and Siegfried & Roy.

"If audience members allow themselves to become submerged in the magic, in the story, in the illusion of the show, then they will discover that the magic isn't just on stage, but the magic is inside of them." -- Brad Ross
