Do you believe in magic?

April 13, 2014 Rick Carruth

Can food levitate? Can ice cubes burn? Is mind control fact or fable? Where does science end and illusion begin? Don’t google the answers just yet. Get the facts straight from the masters themselves… from a band of talented magicians who will take you on a journey that spans the realms of science and magic.

Get ready to be whisked away into an enchanted world where objects fly, explode, change colour and disappear into thin air and people defy the jaws of death in terrifying stunts that will leave you spellbound. But it doesn’t stop there. You also get to watch and understand the sheer beauty of the science that lies behind the greatest magic tricks ever performed. (Asha Chowdary for Deccan Herald)

Working his magic: Fargo illusionist caught ‘bug’ from Harry Houdini biography 30 years ago..

FARGO – Thad Ellsworth caught the magic “bug” in 1983, when his third-grade teacher gave the class a reading assignment on Harry Houdini.

The Bismarck native asked his mom for a magic set that Christmas, and a family friend connected him with Bill Sorenson, a former Bismarck mayor and performing magician who let Ellsworth help backstage and master his first tricks.

More than 30 years later, Ellsworth remains just as hooked on the art of illusion – and he’s found a way to turn his assortment of tricks, props and a white rabbit assistant named Hooper into a learning experience for the children in his audience.

“If you are able to use magic to teach them a principle or something, they’re more likely to remember,” he said…. (By Ryan Johnson for Inforum)

MAGIC legend Paul Daniels has said there are no “great all-round magicians” at the moment as he prepares to return to Fairfield Halls next month.

The former Every Second Counts host is returning to the halls next month as the King of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland alongside his wife and assistant Debbie McGee as the White Rabbit.

Daniels, 75, spoke to the Advertiser from behind a counter in a shop where he was helping a cashier price items.

He said he has met the current crop of magicians such as David Blaine, Derren Brown and Dynamo but would not judge them properly until he sees them live one stage.
