## About

Illusionist David Caserta brings his Halloween magic spectacular, Haunted Illusions, to the Main Stage of the Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College in Toms River on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 7:00 PM. Billed as a family evening of magic and comedy, the show has people levitating, disappearing and reappearing, with illusions created for this tour, audience participation that brings the ghosts, ghouls and goblins into the act, and moving lights and a themed soundtrack. Caserta has appeared on NBC's America's Got Talent and The CW's Penn and Teller: Fool Us and invents many of the original illusions he performs. Tickets are $46 for Level 1 seats and $42 for Level 2 seats; the center's calendar showed limited availability a few days before the show.
