Magic in the Park is a magical journey and entertainment showcase that pays homage to the late Dr. Abraham B.

The New York Times, in 1981, wrote that Hurwitz “entertained more than a million young people” at free performances in New York City’s schools, parks, recreation centers and playgrounds.
Bring the family, your sense of history, and join this elite group of participants as Magic in the Park dazzles you for 70 minutes with the likes of Abe’s grand-daughter, Emmy Award winner Mallory Lewis with Lamb Chop, The Magicomedian and “Dean of American Magicians” George Schindler, Funny Guy Robert Baxt, Ventriloquism extraordinaire Carla Rhodes, rising stars from the Society of Young Magicians and our amusing Emcee, “Cajun Cellist” Sean Grissom.
