Family Adventure Sets Sail At The Lyric Theatre In December!

For hundreds of years, magicians and illusionists have been in the business of cognitively manipulating the one one-hundredth of a second our perception of reality lags behind actual reality. In the grand scheme of things, that seems quite insignificant, but for magicians and illusionists, it is of the utmost importance. Many modern illusionists have become masters of exploring the nuances of perception and awareness, and neuroscientists are beginning to take note. Having said that, what science often omits is the audience's reaction, i.e. laughter or wonder, and how well-versed illusionists are in the art of distraction.

Cue award winning illusionists John Bundy and Morgan. Their thrilling mainstage production Skullduggery: A Magical Pirate Adventure! is a swashbuckling pirate adventure that will conjure up a treasure chest of illusions and interactive adventure the whole family will enjoy. This Broadway-style production, combining the science of illusion and storytelling, culminates in a climatic whirlwind of magical amazement. From its first confetti cannon, to the swaying of its majestic pirate flag, Skullduggery is an illusionary feast for the senses, pirate style.

To be frank, there are few family friendly shows that successfully manipulate the senses, while entertaining the masses. Skullduggery is one of the few productions that accomplish this arduous feat. Perhaps there is a strong connection between illusion and neuroscience, or laughter and distraction. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. One cannot help but buy into the enchantment of Skullduggery. The production evokes what science cannot explain: family magic.
