With 50 states, 53 countries, and six continents stamped on his passport, Michigan native Aaron Radatz will return home to Canton Township for one show only at 7 p.m. tomorrow, Dec. 10. 

This year's show proves to be a special one for Radatz and his choreographer/singing/dancing wife and co-producer April Radatz as the performance will benefit the Detroit Police Officers annual giving campaign aptly named Sergeant Santa. Sergeant Santa will deliver stuffed toys to children handpicked by officers that need extra Christmas joy this season. A new stuffed toy of any sort is requested to be donated in person by all those attending the Radatz holiday magic show the Canton Village Theater, located at 50400 Cherry Hill Road, Canton, MI 48187. 

Patti Kukula, executive director of Detroit Public Safety Foundation said, “We are thrilled to combine forces of kindness with Radatz and his team and make Christmas a little brighter for these families.” Aaron Radatz added, “On top of the incredible random acts of kindness, this cause also hit home for April and me as we have numerous family and friends that proudly serve as police officers.” 

Radatz, who was recently featured on the global TV sensation Masters of Illusion, said he is thrilled to be presenting their family-friendly show at this venue for the 14th year. 

“I was born and raised in Michigan, so it is always a delight to return and perform for these wonderful people, family, and friends. It is also very exciting to have people see magic live as it was intended to be and not through a screen. There is no CGI, no filters, just pure magic in your face,” said Radatz. 

Radatz, who began his magic career at the age of 6, has performed for General Motors, Chrysler, Soaring Eagle Casino, Andiamo's, Jeff Daniels, the Detroit Tigers, and several others. Time Magazine said, “He is the magician to see.” 

Back by popular demand, April Radatz has shared the stage with Ed McMahon and Andy Williams and will ring in the holidays with some favorite yuletide tunes and share in the magic with her husband. 

Tickets range from $18 to $30 and can be purchased online at www.cantonvillagetheater.org or by calling (734) 394-5300. Learn more about the award-winning magic of Aaron Radatz at www.aaronradatz.com.
