Magician Brings Unique Show Family Expo This Weekend
This weekend, the Family Expo is coming to the Greater Reading Expo Center. And one of the highlights will be a magician. This afternoon he revealed some of his illusions to WFMZ's Pam Cunningham... and how he performs with his own secret.
>> SAM SANDLER: Most magicians do a thing pick a card from the front I'm going to try something from behind my back.
>> REPORTER: Sam Sandler's card trick isn't the only thing that sets him apart from other performers.
>> SANDLER: The key when you are talking to me I need to see the mouth.
>> REPORTER: Sandler is profoundly deaf. He says he lost all his hearing two years ago but does his best not to let the audience found out.
>> SANDLER: I like the fact that they don't know that I am deaf. As you noticed, I've been learning sign language. I use the sign language at the end of my show once I talk about being deaf.
>> REPORTER: Sandler doesn't talk about it until he pulls a string apart.
>> SANDLER: In all my shows, I explain how each and every one of us face difficulties in life. We're guaranteed to face brokeness whether it's losing your hearing, whether it's loss of a love one or loss of a job.
>> REPORTER: But before this trick he is dancing and performing with music he doesn't hear. He disappears into a box and somehow reappears.
>> SANDLER: My goal is to inspire my audience not just entertain them.
>> REPORTER: And in the end the string is unraveled.
>>SANDLER: You'll discover the magic is in each and every one of you and you truly can accomplish anything when you believe in yourself.
>>REPORTER: Sam Sandler will be at the Family Expo on Saturday at 1pm and 2 pm and on Sunday at noon.
>> SANDLER: The only thing I can't do is hear other than that I can do anything else.
