On the heels of a highly successful multi-city tour and run on Broadway, the world’s best-selling touring magic show, The Illusionis­ts – Live From Broadway – will delight Saskatoon April 12, at SaskTel Centre.

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.

The five stars, each a master in their own field, are:

The Trickster, Jeff Hobson is the epitome of glamour and showmanshi­p. Don’t be fooled by his innocent appearance; Jeff has audiences laughing long after the curtain goes down.

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.

Don’t miss this electrifyi­ng show at SaskTel Centre, April 12.
