This is a pretty valuable trick to know.

Illusionist Ryan Dutcher was spotted at the Dutchess County Fair on Thursday making some magic of his own. Dutcher has been performing magic since he was an eleven-year-old and continues to amaze crowds in the Hudson Valley and across the country.

Dutcher started out doing magic for charitable organizations and continues his philanthropic work today. So it was no surprise that he decided to stop by the WPDH booth at the fair to donate to Alex's Lemonade Stand, a charity that helps kids who are battling childhood cancer.

Part of the Battle of the Stands fundraiser is deciding whether to help Team Boris or Team Robyn bring in the most donations.  At first glance it looks like Dutcher is on Team Robyn, but that's when the magic kicks in.

Thanks to Ryan and everyone else who's generously donated to the cause. If you can't make it to the fair, you can still donate to Alex's Lemonade Stand online.
