On Saturday, November 1st, I had the pleasure of taking my four year old grandson to see the 5th annual Jackie's Magic Show at Warren Township High School in Gurnee. We went to the children's matinee and the auditorium was filled with parents and their young children. Music played while we waited and the opening song was "That's Entertainment".
The show started promptly at 1pm with the emcee coming out to welcome everyone and to tell them that they could make noise during the live performances . The first act came out and one of the things we watched him do was tear up a newspaper and put it all together again! After his act was done the emcee came out to introduce the next act who told the audience to follow your dreams. Then he performed with magic circles and shared a new magic trick with the audience in which he made a smashed banana disappear in a scarf. My grandson will probably be going home and trying that one out.
The next act actually did the amazing Siberian Chain Escape with help from a boy and his mom from the audience. They chained and locked his wrists together and he came undone in one minute's time! Then he levitated the boy that was helping him. Next act was a magician with scarves that kept coming out of an empty tin can and then they all got magically connected.
The emcee came out then to introduce the last act for the afternoon. This magician lighted candles that he then made disappear. The lights in the auditorium were then turned down for the dramatic effect of red fire that he seemed to be pulling out of thin air all around him. Even coming out of his ears and mouth! After that act he came down off the stage and went thru the audience pulling coins out of children's ears. But the best act of his was the last when he went back on stage with a little girl from the audience and did a dancing scarf routine to Elvis music. To end the sho the emcee came out and so did all the magicians and teh crowd all clapped and cheered.
After the show the magicians stayed to sign autographs and there were two clowns making balloon scuptures for the children. My grandson and I had a very nice time at the magic show and I do plan on taking him back for the 6th annual show because "That's Entertainment".
