MAGIC:   Past & PRESENT​

Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin (1805 - 1871), is known as, "The Father of Modern Magic".  I wonder what he would have thought of magic with iPhones and Rubik's Cubes?  In this exciting new show that I am 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 early 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. Come see this show and make the connection of the magic of the PAST, to the magic of the PRESENT. This is the very same magic that we see today on television.

"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 early 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 by yours truly!  Come see this show and make the connection of the magic of the PAST, to the magic of the PRESENT.  This is the very magic that we see today on television.  It's very possible that you will learn something about how MAGIC of the Past has influenced the MAGIC of the PRESENT - and possibly the FUTURE!

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