Illusionist brings show to Milledgeville
Published 8:00 am Wednesday, March 24, 2010
Town & Gown Arts invite you to an evening of magic with illusionist Jason Bishop Wednesday, March 31 at 8 p.m. in Russell Auditorium on the campus of GCSU.
There will be two special sneak previews of The Jason Bishop Show in Russell Auditorium. At 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 31 Jason will perform illusions and sleight of hand that will include turning a borrowed one dollar bill into a crisp one hundred dollar bill that an audience member will leave with. There is no charge for the Sneak Previews but don’t forget to bring a dollar bill in case yours is selected.
From his breathtaking double levitation to his cutting edge Op-Art and plasma illusions, Jason Bishop features stunning & original state of the art magic. One thing that distinguishes Bishop is his virtuosity. Each show features award winning sleight of hand, exclusive grand illusions and close-up magic projected onto a huge video screen. No other touring illusionist showcases such a diverse array of talents. Additionally, the show is delivered with a totally modern energy and an outstanding rock & pop soundtrack.
The show is surprisingly funny and truly magical. Bishop cuts through the usual hype and focuses on entertaining audiences with one remarkable illusion after another. Each routine is presented in his unique style. Some pieces feature more laughs than are typically expected from an illusionist, while other effects literally demonstrate sleight of hand skill performed at a world-class level.
Intelligent lighting, engaging audience participation and countless costume changes by his assistant Kim are added elements that help make each performance unforgettable.
