Bodies float. People disappear. Some are cut in half.
Itโs โThe Illusionists,โ and the show with five magic makers is coming to Centennial Hall.
They will do card tricks that wow, a death-defying escape in the nick of time, and an arrow ripping through an apple on a personโs head. And there will be audience participation โ be prepared to be pulled up on stage and hammer a board sitting on top of a man lying on a bed of nails. Heโll want you to hammer him hard. At least, all of these illusions have happened in other shows. Who knows, they might have some new tricks up their sleeves.
