Magicians from Berks County and the region will gather in Reading this weekend to perform a 24-hour Magic Marathon to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
The Magic Marathon is the brainchild of Wayne Shifflett, owner of the Mingus Magic Shop, 528 Lancaster Ave.
The volunteer magicians will start making magic in 15-minute segments beginning at 5 p.m. today. A new 15-minute show will start on every hour and half-hour through 5 p.m. Saturday, he said.
Admission is $5 for a one-time entry and you can stay as long as you like, or get a $15 pass for all 24 hours that lets you come and go as you please.
All proceeds will be donated to Alex's Lemonade Stand in memory of Shelli Lafferty, Shifflett said. Shelli was the daughter of Dan and Lynn Lafferty. She died of cancer when she was only 5 years old, Shifflett said.
