(Cazenovia, NY – July 2013) The young and young at heart will not want to miss the comedy and magic of Matt Episcopo Monday, July 15, at 2 p.m. in the Cazenovia Public Library Community Room.
Episcopo has enjoyed making people laugh since he was a small boy. He began to study magic seriously in 1989 and took his art to the next level under the mentorship of a well-respected fellow magician Ron Zollweg from Utica.
Episcopo’s mission is to bring happiness to others and improve the world around him through laughter and smiles.
“Magic is my stress relief from the situations I see on a day-to-day basis,” Episcopo said. “I love to see the smiles that my magic brings to people.”
He has performed for such groups as The American Heart Association, AmeriCu Federal Credit Union, PAR Government, United Way and many others.
Episcopo retired in 2011 after 21 years of service as a highly decorated captain for the Madison County Sheriff’s Office. He won many esteemed awards throughout his career, including the Medal of Honor, Meritorious Service, Gallantry Star, Honorable Service, Sheriff’s Award and numerous citations.
