The best kept secret in music
Press
On the first Friday of the
school year, all our
boarders were treated to a
sometimes dangerous,
and often funny, two-man
performance called Dangerously
Funny.
Hailing from Syracuse,
New York, Wade Live
and Wacky Chad entertained
the crowd with
magic tricks and stunts
that had the crowd laughing.
The students knew they
were in for a treat as soon
as the show started with a
dance and flip routine including
one of our very
own! Wacky Chad introduced
his partner, Wade
Live, but who appeared
on stage instead? None
other than junior Kendell
McNichols sporting a red
spiked wig and oversized
necktie!
Wade Live impressed the
kids with disappearing
cards, catching a paintball
in his mouth, and torching,
then reproducing, a
fifty-dollar bill.
Meanwhile, Wacky Chad
amazed everyone with
backflips and difficult
pogo jumps, and he even
balanced a shopping cart
on his chin!
Afterward, students
found another treat waiting
for them in the dining
room: ice cream sundaes.
The two performers

"I received feedback from many of those in attendance who described your performance as "innovative", "fast paced", and "captivating". I can tell you from my own personal observation that not only were the children captivated by your magical wizardry, the adults thoroughly enjoyed it as well. You were able to strike a perfect balance in your act to entertain the children and adults alike." - -Mark T. Harrington, Makenzie Hughes LLP (Law Firm)

Bio
Wade has traveled and performed magic extensively throughout the U.S. Based in central New York, Wade began performing professionally (part-time) for local events at the age of 16, and by 19 was a full time seasoned pro. Wade's talent and persistence helped land him a coveted apprenticeship with the top insiders of this secret society. Learning the well kept secrets of Houdini, Blackstone as well as the current magical inventors of our time.
In 2006, Wade received a phone call that every magician dreams of getting. He was hand-picked to be an understudy to star in one of the largest illusion shows in the world today. Wade was stunned with this offer and said YES! He packed his bags and took off to Asia in Jan of 2007 for theatrical training. Many of the performers who have performed at Sandcastle, (known throughout the world for its productions of cutting-edge, lavish magic and illusion shows) wind up headlining on the Las Vegas Strip! The show, "Magical Flight" featured 150 parakeets, 20 doves, 3 macaws, 2 toucans, 1 cockatoo, 2 tigers, and the most dangerous of all...5 dancers. The Sandcastle Dinner Theater is located in Saipan, a U.S. Commonwealth not far from Guam. Saipan is a major tourist draw for Japan, Korea, and China; and is more commonly referred to as the "Las Vegas of Asia."
