Penn & Teller hail him as “one of the greatest living magicians.” The New York Times has christened him “the soft-spoken conceptualist of sorcery.” He’s a recipient of the coveted Merlin Award for Lifetime Achievement. And now, just in time for Halloween, Peter Samelson brings his fascinating one-man show “Magic, Love, Mystery!” to Catskill’s Bridge Street Theatre for three performances only, October 25-27. This world-renowned magician and masterful storyteller takes us on an incredible journey to explore the nature of love. You’ll thrill to a film noir style tale of star-crossed lovers Noah and Grace, playing a deadly game of cat-and-mouse and risking everything on a long con. And, in an extraordinary twist, every illusion Samelson performs is a clue that helps the audience solve the mystery at the evening’s heart. The ‘Magic’ is astounding, the ‘Mystery’ engaging, and it’s a show you’ll definitely fall in ‘Love’ with. This totally unique entertainment will be presented October 25 – 27 on Bridge Street Theatre’s “Priscilla” Mainstage, located at 44 West Bridge Street in Catskill. Advance reservations are highly recommended – Samelson is a world-renowned master magician, and tickets are likely to ‘disappear’ quickly!
