"The MAGIC Basement", by Jeffrey Day

MAGIC has existed in many forms. From large stage illusions to closeup tricks on a table. Closeup Magic sometimes causes confusion in the eyes of some people who are unfamiliar with magic and magicians. The term “close up” refers to the fact that the spectator is ‘close up’ to where the action is taking place. You are literally a couple of feet from the performer. You get to see everything, or at least what the magician wants you to see. What you see is magic happening right in front of you … or even in your own hands!

The closeup magic tricks that I will be performing will be from between the 1860’s to the early 1950’s and created by some famous magicians you’ve probably never heard of.

The final illusion will be performed by the mansion’s most famous spirit, Mollie Woodruff, who died in 1917!

Come to this limited seating event at the Woodruff-Fontaine House, and venture into the Victorian Ballroom and take your seat. Watch me create the magic … right in front of you!

MAGIC: Past & Present - by Jeffrey Day

In this exciting new show that Jeffrey Day is presenting, you will be taken down the path of how the early conjurors have successfully influenced the modern magicians of today. The similarities may not be obvious, but they are definitely evident. You will learn how the great Max Malini of the early 1900’s was influenced by Issac Fawkes of the late 1700’s with a very similar trick that became a blockbuster to this very day.  Not many people know this, but Harry Houdini was not the first escape artist to free himself from handcuffs. But Houdini knew how to market himself and make the genre of escapology a real attraction. And YES, there will be a couple of escapes performed by yours truly!  Come to this show and learn how magic of the PAST is connected to the magic of the PRESENT ... the very magic that we see on television today. 

Come see “MAGIC: Past & Present”, and see for yourself why MAGIC has lasted so long!

This show will be held in the Carriage House behind the Victorian mansion.
