THE MESMERIST
THE MESMERIST
The 19th Century was filled with magic, and magicians. The Golden Age of Magic was forming during this time and change was happening throughout the world. The magic that I will be performing includes effects that have rarely been seen by audiences, or even current-day magicians. This show will be performed in the beautiful. historic Woodruff-Fontaine House (built in 1871) in the Victorian Village of Memphis, Tennessee.
Come to this show and see what audiences observed over a 100 years ago.
Prepare to be mystified!
(Must be 16 years or older to attend)

The "Zombie" illusion is something that magician Joe Karson (1912-1980) created by accident in 1940. Although he created many illusions, Zombie was probably the most famous. Most magicians have owned and practiced the Zombie, but many have not continued performing it because, some have said, "it is difficult and painful" to perform . I wanted to perform this in front of an audience with a live musician in the room, playing Debussy's "Syrinx" (1899), which was a piece that I have used since I was about 15 years old. I was pleased that the audience was spellbound by this illusion. I was fortunate enough to engage musicians Sabrina Hu & Delara Hashemi to accompany me on flute for the performances on Jan. 19 & 26, 2019.
