Magician for a 60th Birthday Party in Merion Station, Philadelphia Main Line
On December 5, 2025, private party magician Jesse Dameron performed at a private residence in Merion Station, PA, on Philadelphia's Main Line, for Gail Slogoff's 60th birthday party. Gail booked the entertainment herself, so the performance was not a surprise, and the evening centered on roaming/strolling magic woven through continuous buffet and cocktail service, with an interactive stage show as one segment of the night.
