There’s a Reason a Magician’s ‘Most Exciting Magic Performance’ Didn’t Even Feature Him As the Main Star..

Oliver Darcy for the Blaze..

Las Vegas magician Rob Anderson knew he wanted to help when he received an email three months ago from a man who had the desire to propose to his girlfriend “in a way that was both a surprise and magical.”

From halfway around the world, Anderson worked with James — a then-stranger who lived in Germany — to craft the perfect proposal.

“I came up with the idea in the video, and we made plans secretly via Skype and Facebook from half a world away,” Anderson told TheBlaze Monday. “The most difficult part was not having any time to rehearse in person until the day before the proposal, when he landed in Vegas.”..

Now You See Me 2: Will Eisenberg and Ruffalo Return?

By Kit Simpson Browne for Moviepilot..

It may well be, as Now You See Me argued, that “the closer you look, the less you’ll see.” In this instance, though, no matter how close you look, you’ll see more or less the same thing: Now You See Me 2 is on its way, and it’s reportedly set to be directed by G.I. Joe: Retaliation’s Jon M. Chu.

WHEN dream and reality collide, that’s where the magic happens. For Peter Marvey, that’s also where his world lies and where he gets his audience to revel in.

A renowned magician and illusionist, Swiss born Marvey has always been fascinated with magic since his early childhood – he’d made food he didn’t like to eat disappear. He also created his first illusion (a version of levitating girl) while he was in high school.

Fascinated by the world of mythical enchantment, he left his architectural studies midway, and began living his dreams delving into the world of wonders.

Famous for his signature piece, Dream Flying which took him seven years to master, Marvey regularly takes his magic on a world tour.

Having performed in over 30 countries in five continents, Marvey has earned multiple awards including The Golden Wand in 1996, Merlin Award for the Magician of the Year 2002 and Most Creative Illusionist 2009…
