Mr. DePonto is many things. A surgeon, a pilot, a physicist, a billionaire, but mostly he\u2019s a damned good liar. This Brooklyn based magician and mind-reader has been deceiving audiences now for over a decade. From his critically acclaimed Off-Broadway show, to the private events of New York City\u2019s elite, Mr. DePonto orchestrates an evening of delight and mystery that will linger with you well after his briefcase shuts. With a glass of whiskey in one hand and your attention in the other, he\u2019s a modern day showman like no other. And that\u2019s the truth. Now you see him…He will be returning to Union Hall March 31 at 7:30 for a full show.<\/div>\n
