Skeptics beware; a recent show held at the Cider Mill in Endicott had guests leaving with as many questions as when they arrived as Beyond Imagination Entertainment presented Magic Beyond Imagination for two nights of magic.<\/p>\n

Featuring Kozmo, well-known street performer, and Joe Maxwell and Garrett Thomas, of national fame, the show defied all logic as melons appeared out of hats, card decks shrunk in front of your eyes, and the Rubik\u2019s Cube was solved in zero seconds by Thomas, a time that far exceeded his last known record.<\/p>\n

Because of the skill involved with the Rubik\u2019s Cube, Thomas\u2019 signature performance, followers from around the magic circuit traveled to Endicott to see the show, and to brush elbows with some of the world\u2019s greatest performers.<\/p>\n

Ten-year-old Noah Thomas, an aspiring magician from Scranton, Pa., attended the show with his parents. As part of the Mel\u2019s Magic Club, Thomas wanted to attend the show to continue learning the tricks of the trade.<\/p>\n

Performing card tricks for guests prior to the start of the show, Frank Catalano, of Tioga, County, N.Y., stated that he would be happy just watching Noah perform all night.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis kid is the real show,\u201d stated Catalano, who reveled in the young magician.<\/p>\n

And Noah Thomas is not new to the spotlight. He was recently featured in the Times-Tribune out of Scranton for his magic performances during First Friday held at The Marketplace at Steamtown in Scranton, Pa.<\/p>\n

And Noah Thomas wasn\u2019t the only guest of notoriety in the audience. Timothy Carver, a magician from Manchester, Md., drove all the way to Endicott, N.Y. for the show. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s my favorite,\u201d said Carver of Garrett Thomas. <\/p>\n

At 19 years old, Carver considers himself a professional magician, last performing at Green Mount Station in Maryland, a venue that is host to weekly magic shows. Carver specifically talked about his fascination with Garrett\u2019s work with the Rubik\u2019s Cube.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe taught me what I know about the cube,\u201d said Carver of Garrett\u2019s work. <\/p>\n

As a personal record, Carver stated that he, himself, has learned to solve the cube with a record time of 20 seconds; Garret\u2019s time, Caver noted, is a half of a second.<\/p>\n

Refining his skill, Carver was in for a surprise on Saturday, Nov. 3, as Garrett Thomas was able to solve the cube in zero seconds; a feat that defied all the parameters of logic.<\/p>\n

And the magicians performing for the Mental Madness Tour 2018 had an opportunity to present to Endicott for two performances – one on Friday, and one on Saturday. <\/p>\n

Described by the promoters as “An In-Your-Face Magical Experience” starring Garrett Thomas, TV consultant to David Blaine, and legendary street magician Kozmo, and Joe Maxwell, guests were not disappointed.<\/p>\n

David Blaine described Garrett Thomas, stating, \u201cGarrett Thomas is the best close-up magician in the world.\u201d <\/p>\n

One of the fixtures behind today\u2019s modern magic, Garrett Thomas took guests on a journey with sleight-of-hand, illusions, the Rubik\u2019s Cube, and beyond. <\/p>\n

When performing a trick with a driver\u2019s license and his wallet, Garrett, prior to executing the magic trick, told guests that not only will they be astounded; that what they were about to see would also keep them up at night.<\/p>\n

Garrett Thomas performed in Endicott following shows in Las Vegas and California, as well as a private performance in London for Madonna and guests.<\/p>\n

Kozmo, a master in his field, has been entertaining on the streets around the world for much of his life. He has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Great Wall of China and everywhere in between. <\/p>\n

Performing miracles with everyday objects, Kozmo has refined his trade by blending hilarious comedy with his energetic and edgy sleight-of-hand magic.<\/p>\n

Joe Maxwell, the show\u2019s Master of Ceremonies, has appeared on Saturday Night Live and The Late Show with David Letterman. He specializes in magic with a humorous touch and has performed for a variety of celebrities including Rudy Giuliani, Scarlett Johansson and the great Yogi Berra. <\/p>\n

With audience participation, these three incredible talents provided guests with a gift of new and impossible magical moments. <\/p>\n

The show also served, in part, as a benefit for the Tioga County Boys & Girls Club in Owego, N.Y. The club\u2019s new Executive Director, Jamie Holliday, was present at the show to greet guests, and to help with the sale of Rubik\u2019s Cubes, eight balls, and t-shirts.<\/p>\n
