Win a meet and greet with Darcy Oake!

Illusionis­t Darcy Oake performs June 13, at TCU Place. Oake is a performanc­e artist whose modern interpreta­tion gratifies the hunger of audiences seeking spectacle and nail-biting feats of illusion. Inspired by classic sleights of hand techniques, Darcy transports the crowd to another dimension with exhilarati­ng visuals and logic-defying exploits.

After being baffled by an accidental card trick his father – award-winning Canadian sportscast­er Scott Oake – showed him at eight years old, Oake delved into the craft. He soon became an internatio­nal magic champion, at age sixteenbea­tingoutsea­sonedprofe­ssionalsat­various events and winning the coveted People’s Choice Gold Medal in Seattle, Washington. Even before he was legally old enough to enter nightclubs, Oake headlined at the worldfamou­s Magic Castle in Hollywood, California.

Today, Oake proudly carries on the tradition of such classic illusionis­ts as fellow Canadian Doug Henning, while adding his trademark grandeur and charm.

Oake has emerged in the world of illusion as a new generation of contempora­ry mysticism. He’ s performed throughout Europe, from Paris to London, and across North America, from the heart of Times Square in New York City to the Las Vegas strip.
