Masters of Illusion Live! to Play the State Theatre, 9/21

By:

Masters of Illusion Live!, the touring magic show based on the award-winning "Masters of Illusion" TV series, will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 21, 2012 at Hennepin Theatre Trust's State Theatre.

Consisting of eye-popping illusionists, daring escape and quick change artists, two tigers, beautiful dancers and comedy magic, this theatrical experience is totally live with no camera tricks or computer graphics. Audience members will become part of the act as they are called on stage to assist with the illusions. Tickets go on sale at Noon on Friday, August 3. Visit HennepinTheatreTrust.org or call 1.800.982.2787 to purchase or for more information. 

The rotating cast varies by venue. You never know if you'll see a taxi cab magically appear, a woman materialize out of flames or a grand piano floating across the stage. Two of the performing acts at the State Theatre will be Darren Romeo, "The Voice of Magic," who sings popular Broadway songs while performing incredible illusions, and Farrell Dillon, who performs hilarious comedy magic. "Masters of Illusion" is a 39 hour television series originating on Fox's myNetwork TV. "Masters of Illusion Live!" is one of the world's largest touring magic and illusion shows with a cast of 29 people, three buses and two semi 53 foot trailer trucks.
