The Illusionists – Live
From Broadway™
is produced by Simon Painter, Tim Lawson and MagicSpace Entertainment. Conceived by Simon Painter, the show’s creative team also includes
executive producer Tim Lawson, director Neil Dorward and creative director Jim
Millan.
Full of hilarious magic tricks, death-defying
stunts and acts of breathtaking wonder, The Illusionists has shattered box
office records worldwide and thrilled audiences of all ages with a mind-blowing
spectacular showcasing the jaw-dropping talents of five of the most incredible
illusionists on earth.
Creative Producer Simon Painter said, “We can’t
wait to bring this electrifying show to Detroit for a truly entertaining
experience for the whole family. The
Illusionists is the most non-stop and powerful mix of outrageous and
astonishing acts ever to be seen on the live stage.”
The seven stars, each a master in their own
field, are:
·
The Inventor, Kevin James is known for innovative illusions, is
an inventor, comedian and collector of the strange and unusual. Kevin is one of
the most prolific inventors of magic in the world and has created some of the
most celebrated illusions of the last century.
·
The Deductionist, Colin Cloud, one of the greatest
thought readers of all time is a psychic savant known as a real-life Sherlock
Holmes. Don’t play against him in a game of poker – he’s never lost.
·
The Manipulator, An Ha Lim: The first place winner
at Korea’s Busan International Magic Competition (2006), Italy Club Convention
Manipulation (2006) and World Magic Seminar in Asia (2007), An Ha Lim was also
a Golden Lion Award winner at the World Magic Seminar in Las Vegas (2008).
·
The Daredevil, Jonathan Goodwin, is widely considered
one of the most creative, skilled, and frankly crazy stunt performers in the
world. He is an accomplished knife thrower, archer, escape artist, fakir,
martial artist, free diver, and free climber. Unlike the other performers in
the show, Jonathan is not a magician or illusionist but he will leave the
audience breathless with his death-defying stunts.
