They've Got Magic to Do, Just For You

Midsummer Magis festivities begin at 6 p.m. this Friday in Hastings.

Magicians, jugglers, fire-eaters, acrobats, tarot readers, musicians and artists will take over Hastings on Friday evening for "Midsummer Magic," a Friday Night Live street festival you won't want to miss.

Magician and mentalist Vinny  DePonto returns to Hastings for the second year to produce and star in the show, bringing a bag of tricks that will please kids and adults alike. Having performed in sold-out venues from New York to Las Vegas, DePonto says he "has built a reputation for delivering the impossible, the peculiar, the ridiculous and the miraculous."

DePonto will be joined by another Westchester native, DJ Mike Allan of Extreme Music Productions, to emcee the event. DePono and Allen were recently voted "Westchester Wunderkinds: Most Successful Business People Under 30" by 914 Inc. Magazine
