Magician Jeff Grow Presents CREATING ILLUSION At The D-Lounge 10/16, 10/23, 10/30

Seeing is believing - but perception can be manipulated for beauty or deception. Magician Jeff Grow takes you on a journey where elegant sleight of hand and insight into human behavior collide dismantling everyday experience and tempting us to question: Why do we choose to believe the unbelievable?

"Grow is an appealing technician who brings a boyish charm to a group willing to be fooled... he's got us in the palm of his hand." Jo Ann Rosen, nytheatre.com
