Sam Powers
I saw a performance of Sam Powers at the Casino recently. It was very impressive. In case you don’t know, Sam Powers is a magician/illusionist. He performs a variety of effects but his escape from a locked trunk routine has to be one of the fastest on the planet. I was one of the audience asked onto the stage to check out the trunk and handcuffs before the trick and I could find nothing amiss with the equipment (which, of course, is to be expected). You may watch the performance at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUAPvshOkyU
Powers also does an excellent series of dove productions and some nifty close up magic including a torn and restored card effect. I can see why he won “Magician of the Year” five times. If you get the opportunity to see his show you will certainly not be disappointed.
