Internationally-recognized illusionist Jason Bishop will bring his larger than life illusions and award-winning sleight of hand talent to AMT on Friday, March 1.
The Jason Bishop Show is the largest touring illusion show in the US. Jason and his 
assistant, Kim Hess (originally from nearby Reading, PA,) give a high energy, highly-interactive performance set to an upbeat blend of rock and pop music. With exclusive large illusions and “close-up” magic captured on live cameras and projected onto large LCD screens, The Jason Bishop Show is designed to entertain, engage and enthrall audiences of all ages.
Currently the only illusionist in the US to perform the rare Double Levitation, Plasma illusion and Op-Art on tour, Jason is known for his state-of-the-art, modern and accessible magic. A big hit at every show is when he transforms a $1 bill into a $100 bill — and generously gives it to one lucky person in the crowd. Audience members can expect to be captivated by Jason’s world-class magical skill, unique style, and signature sense of humor.
The Jason Bishop Show has appeared at notable venues including Disney Cruise Lines and Celebrity Cruise Lines in Europe and Alaska, the Magic Castle in Hollywood, and in Las Vegas. For more information about Jason and this incredible show, click here to visit his website.

If you’re a country music fan in the central Pennsylvania area, then you’ve probably already heard about 16-year-old Stephanie Grace from nearby Douglassville, PA. This up-and-coming country singer has been tapped to open for headliner Easton Corbin this Friday, January 11 at 8 pm. 
Stephanie has been fortunate to share the stage with the likes of such notable country artists as Taylor Swift and Bucky Covington.
Over the past several years, Stephanie has been making a name for herself at local restaurants, fairs and carnivals, and as a youngster in 2006, she won the Pocono Junior Idol and Kids Country Idol titles.
In June of 2012, Stephanie was in Nashville, performing at various venues during the CMA Music Festival, and returned to Pennsylvania to entertain fans locally at the WIOV Fall Fest here in Lancaster in October.
The third single from Stephanie’s self-titled EP, “Would U Be Mine,” is set to release on January 17. To learn more about this amazing young talent and to hear some of her music, click here to visit Stephanie’s website.
