The Halloween Edition of The Magic Show unites a spellbinding cast in a chilling spectacle. AGT finalist Drew Thomas leads the evening with impossible illusions and darkly enchanting showmanship. His wife, Rebecca, heightens the mystery with her commanding stage presence. Kayla, the powerful “Siren of the Night,” delivers soaring lead vocals, joined by Kellie, the ethereal “Voice Behind the Veil.” The Thomas sons drive the show’s pulse—Milo on piano providing the heartbeat of the shadows, and Sam on guitar, sending lightning down your spine with electrifying riffs. Together, they conjure a Halloween experience that’s terrifyingly unforgettable.
