(TROY, MI)
– Here’s the chance to witness and learn how to perform professional magic
tricks at a special class at the Troy Community Center on Thursday, February 25 from 7 - 9:30 pm.
The course tutor is Keith Fields, a
professional magician from the United Kingdom who has worked in Las Vegas, New
York, London and most of the world. He has written three books on the art of magic and
performance (one of which was translated into four languages), produced one of
the first teaching magic CD-ROMs, been asked to perform and lecture in front of
his peers at magic conventions around the world (he also invents new magic and
illusions), and won the title of 'Close up Magician of the Year' from the world
famous Magic Circle.
“These are not just silly party
tricks, but the real deal,” Recreation Supervisor Barb Rupas
said. “Class participants will learn
some professional magic routines they can perform to amaze
their friends.”
The class is for aspiring magician
ages 14 and older. Registration is
required. The fee is $25 for residents
and $30 for non-residents. There is also
a $25 material fee for a workbook, DVD and props payable to the instructor at
the class.

at 3179 Livernois. For more information,
