. .Imagine Dr. Seuss, Willy Wonka, Dumbledore, James Bond, and Yoda joined together and opened up a camp that teaches children magic. That doesn’t even begin to describe the incredible antics that two magicians, Josh Corn & Ilan, have put together into their Camp Cigma. With Dr. Lydia Corn at the reins keeping the two big children on track, the three of them have created a unique environment where children learn magic, explore their creativity through performance art, and create havoc through the many original games and activities the two magicians have masterminded.

Lydia Corn
Engineer of Dreams

Lydia Corn is the Engineer of Dreams.  After retiring from a rewarding career in medicine she delved into her entrepreneurial spirit with Josh and Ilan.  Together they opened Camp Cigma where she enjoys devising complex plans of mass construction.  Her infectious laugh can be heard resonating throughout the walls of camp.  Lydia is master of the jigsaw puzzle and the #1 supporter of the whimsical magic created by Josh and Ilan.

Josh Corn
Director of Possibilities

Josh is not only Camp Cigma’s IT guru and marketing muse – he’s also the architect of mayhem.  We often say about Josh, “if you built it, he’ll build it bigger.”  At any given time you may find him meddling with a combination of power tools and exotic woods.  Often this results in a very impressive and very LARGE illusion that cannot be transported in anything smaller then a twenty-four foot truck. He often ponders the many ways a rubber band can be used in a magic trick and he has a secret obsession with confetti.  He is a world authority on anything Cirque De Soleil.  When not traveling the world, practicing French, or at Camp, he is a Designer of Sets for the prestigious Mask and Wig Musical Comedy Group.  In his spare time he is studying architecture at the University of Pennsylvania.

Ilan
Director of Imagination Development

Ilan, whose simple one name entity seems to puzzle people more than his magic, can at any given time be found in front of a large white pad pondering how to organize and process the fast pace workings of Josh & Lydia.  After earning a BA in English, a Master’s in Education, revising a magic book, and teaching high school for three years, Ilan decided to take all that experience and create a most unusual and artistic magic camp.  Ilan spends much of his time contemplating how to have every magic routine include a story about Houdini. He is Cigma’s inventor of havoc. He’s been spotted around Sarasota mushing two Siberian Huskies on rollerblades or putting up sky art and large kites at Siesta Key.  After directing magicamp for five years in S. Florida he has joined the astonishing team of Josh Corn and Lydia to open up Camp Cigma – the playground for all those who are children at heart and who view fun as an art form.
