BRIGHT NIGHT PROVIDENCE WORKS ITS MAGIC

PROVIDENCE (12/21/06) New Year’s Eve is a most magical time of year. For
Marc Gilday, this year’s New Year’s Eve will be especially magical. That’s
because Gilday, a Rhode Island resident and magician who was seen this past
summer on NBC¹s hit show “America’s Got Talent” will be premiering his latest
touring show on New Year’s Eve as part of Bright Night Providence.

Gilday The show which has an ensemble of 20, will feature an entertaining mix of
vaudeville, musical theatre, virtuoso sleight of hand, and grand illusions.
“This show will be my best work yet,” says Gilday, “I’m delighted that the
audiences of Bright Night Providence will get a chance to see what may be
the largest touring magic show in 25 years.”

Gilday is no stranger to large shows. At age sixteen, he toured for three
years with the world premier edition of Walt Disney’s World on Ice,
performing in nearly every major city in the United States. At age nineteen,
he levitated a brand new Porsche and made it disappear in thin air,
mystifying some of the leading magicians of the day. Since that time, he has
continued to hone his craft and skill as a master magician, performing
throughout the country.

Gilday and his troupe will perform two shows on New Year’s Eve at 6 and 9 pm
at the VMA Cultural Arts Center in downtown Providence. The show will then
go on tour in 2007, visiting many major American cities. “We’ve spared no
expense to make this show the best one possible,” says Gilday. “You won’t
believe your eyes!”
