This October, the Niswonger Performing Arts Center is getting a little spooky, and very magical. Haunted Illusions, starring master illusionist David Caserta, takes the stage at 7 p.m. Saturday, October 17. Presented by Cooper Farms, this show brings magic, comedy, and Halloween fun to Van Wert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caserta creates and performs original illusions that will have audiences watching people levitate, disappear, and reappear before their eyes. He has appeared on America\u2019s Got Talent<\/em> and Penn & Teller: Fool Us<\/em>, and his show invites audience members to join in the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe love bringing more shows to the Niswonger that families can experience together,\u201d said Jarin Hart, Executive Director of Van Wert LIVE. \u201cHaunted Illusions gives everyone a chance to share a few laughs, be truly amazed, and make a fun Halloween memory right here in Van Wert.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
