Illusionist headed to area college stage

Town & Gown Arts invites you to a magical evening with illusionist Jason Bishop, Friday, January 21 at 8:00 pm in Russell Auditorium on the campus of GCSU. Town & Gown Arts is co-sponsored by Allied Arts and the Georgia College & State University Arts Unlimited Committee.
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 movie 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. Arts director Randy Cannon said, “We had Jason here last year and audience feedback indicated we should have him back. His show is really entertaining and fun.”
