When is a magic show more than a magic show? When the magician's more of a mentalist, of course, and also when that mentalist is a descendant of Holocaust survivors and he's doing the show to benefit the Florida Holocaust Museum. Oz Perlman's grandmother survived Auschwitz; his grandfather fought with irregular military groups as part of the Jewish resistance. Perlman will honor them with a show that benefits the museum's student education programs. The mentalist — who appeared on America's Got Talent — will offer two shows. The first show includes a private lunch reception and what he calls a "personal mentalist experience" as well as the public performance; the second show includes the public performance only.
