For the second time Cecil Lewis will be creating some magical memories but never sharing his secrets at the Park County Fair’s Pepsi free stage throughout fair week.

Lewis, who is currently a headliner for American Cruise Lines and played 15 venues in June alone, enjoys performing at fairs where the audience is close and performers sometimes know one another — he calls it “fair family.” 

This outlook makes sense for Lewis who said his performances are about what the audience enjoys and what they want to see. Lewis actually decides what tricks to perform when he sees the crowd. 

“It’s not about the tricks, it’s about the audience,” Lewis said. 

Lewis was just 6 years old when he answered a comic book ad to learn magic — for  just $1 he began down the path of a magician. In his career he’s even had the chance to meet the man who started it all for him, he said. 

According to Lewis’ website he has performed in the northwestern region for the past 30 years and worked with organizations that include Burger King, Children’s Miracle Network, Crossroads Dance Club, CSK Auto INC, Eagles, Elks and many others.

Lewis can be found performing Tuesday at 3 p.m. and 6 p.m., Wednesday at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., Thursday at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m., Friday at noon and 4 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.
