Performers from the International Brotherhood of Magicians will stroll the Pavilion area at Regner Park to amaze and entertain the crowd before the prize ceremony!

Dr. Lynn Miner, Scott Lane, and Monty Witt

The International Brotherhood of Magicians has existed for nearly one hundred years. Today it has over 15,000 members in more than 300 local chapters. Dr. Lynn Miner and Scott Lane are the President and Vice President of the Milwaukee chapter, which was founded in 1945. It recently earned special status as one of seven chapters designated to serve as a model for others around the world.

Dr. Lynn Miner is a frequent performer in Las Vegas and was recently a guest performer at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood.

Scott Lane is a popular performer in the Midwest. He often appears as Professor Steampunk.

Monty Witt holds four Guinness world records in magic. He has done thousands of performances including nearly every state in the USA.

All three magicians will work close-up at the event so you can see the magic happen right in front of you, sometimes even in your own hands! The acts will hold laughter, surprise, and wonder for children and adults alike!
