Mikayla Oz performs during her Tricks and Treats Magic Show during Fright Fest at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom on Friday.

Oz loves to see the faces of the children light up when she performs her tricks and for her, that’s where the magic is. Oz sold magic wands and took photos with children before sending them off to a nearby trick-or-treat trail. “I saw a magician at the library and thought it was the coolest thing, so I made a career out of it,” Oz said after her show.

Oz has been performing magic since she was 4 years old and flew out from New York with Popcorn Productions to put on a show at Fright Fest.
