Carol Massie

Internationally acclaimed magician

30+ production shows · Vegas to Korea
Caesar's Palace · MGM Grand
Live, with Regis & Kathie Lee

Carol is a stage illusionist who came up through dance, adagio, and large production work. She starred in Spellbound at Caesar's Palace, performed at the MGM Grand, and toured eight years with Joe across the U.S., Europe, Canada, and Japan before they opened their theatre in April 2003. She wrote "Cruise News" for Genii Magazine and was a finalist representing Ohio in the Miss America pageant. And she still has her unique talent of walking on stage and making you stop checking your phone.
