The COVID-19 pandemic may have forced the Miracle League of the South Hills to cancel its 2020 spring and fall seasons, but it will not affect the continued efforts of the organization to enrich the lives of local kids and adults with special needs.

The Miracle League of the South Hills will stream America’s Got Magic at 7 p.m. Oct. 15.

This interactive virtual fundraising show features the world’s most incredible magicians, illusionists and mind readers. The performance offers side-splitting comedy, jaw-dropping magic and Zoom-style audience interaction.

The star-studded lineup features: Derek Hughes — “America’s Got Talent,” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “The Carbonaro Effect;” Ben Seidman — Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Netflix series “Brainchild” and “Criss Angel: Mindfreak” along with special guest host — the high-octane magic of Tom Pesce.

This performance of “America’s Got Magic” is a fundraiser for the Miracle League of the South Hills. Half of the ticket proceeds will benefit The Next Inning, a project to build a new job training center in Upper St. Clair for the Miracle League athletes.

“We are really excited that these nationally recognized, amazing magicians are going to do a show to benefit our kids. I’ve seen them do this virtually, and it is truly fun for the whole family,” said Sean Casey, president of the Miracle League of the South Hills.

Tickets start at $25 per household with the ability to donate additional funds to the Miracle League of the South Hills.
