Best Magician

We know the beach can work magic, but the Dickens Parlour Theatre brings even more magic in the form of world-class conjurors and illusionists who perform there regularly. Owner Rich Bloch may be better known as a big-time D.C.-area arbitrator, but he’s also a two-time Blackstone Award-winner who is so well respected by his magic peers, they come from all over the country to perform in Millville. A fave: the kids’ show with the hilarious Tom Foolery (aka assistant manager Jay Read). He has a trick for every young volunteer in the audience.
