Sarlot and Eyed is the impressive young magic team whom you have read about in the recent M-U-M and Genii magazines. Their Tucson show has been a hit in Arizona for many years. They will be on our opening show with Christian and Katalina, another young and talented team of magicians you may remember from their short comedy stint at our banquet last year. This time you'll see their whole hilariously funny act.

Miller also happily announced a third, much in demand entertainer, John Cassidy, a balloonist nut from Pennsylvania who always tears the house apart with his energetic talent.
