At precisely 7:00 p.m., Master of Ceremonies, Rich Nakata welcomed the packed house with a commercial for hiring the performers listed in the beautifully produced program. Rich reportedly said, “Cool” and “Give-it-up-for…..” 37 times during the show (Our President is fun to kid-with!).

Lead-off act was Keir Mathur Royale, who immediately vanished the upper half of his body and then launched a three envelope discovery effect. Assisted by Anikka, Keir issued an invitation to audience member, Victoria, who ended her illustrious stage career peppered with hilarious enjoyment by discovering the missing card on the chair which she had previously occupied. Keir then amazed the audience with the classic, Mis-Made Lady illusion augmented with Keir’s creative presentation approach.

MC Rich then presented a clever and well-received Bill in Lemon routine.

Sharon Nuanes, former Ring #131 President as well as “Mrs. Colorado” then dazzled the audience with a beautifully choreographed series of events – an appearing cane, color-filled Blendo, liquids from a bottle that became flowers, hankies bursting from balloons, 20th Century Silk, and a final spinning streamer of vivid colors produced from a snazzy Crystal Cylinder. She is a talented Lady of Magic.

Noah Kloor, our 16 year old wizard baked a huge cake fom ingredients that included rice bowls, eggs, salt and everything else close-by while battling a color-changing wand.

Professor Higgins (Dick Bowman) wowed everyone with his “SCAM” Supreme College of Amazing Magic – at $69.95 – with scholarship options – vanished a champagne glass, delighted us with frequent cut rope events which ended with total restorations. He terrified everyone with threats of throwing a bowling ball into the audience. (And eventually sent a balloon replica flying) and finished strong with a prediction of the price of macaroni – family size.

John T. Sheets (our Las Vegas Quality Performer) presented flaming torches, bird cages, incredible ribbon displays, production of a live parrot, vanishing cage filled with doves being instantly replaced with the appearance of Corrine – then ropes, knots, instant restorations and finally the re-appearance of a canary inside an orange, a lemon and an egg. They ended with a choreographed “Find the Lady” that both surprised and delighted the audience. John is our Professional Illusionist.

Brief break – and then:

Steven McHaywire Cody attacks the audience with surprise and delight and volume turned to blast. He transformed the younger members of the audience into gleeful laughers and while they watched, he involved specific audience members with cards, ball juggling, machete knife handling, young people helpers and eventual bowling ball juggling – catching a bowling ball on his forehead. Steve is a wild man who certainly keeps an entire audience awake and aware with fun.

Mark Strivings is the Master Mentalist who utilizes the entire stage while involving the total audience with the suggested possibilities of “coincidence or genuine thought prediction”! Mark is capable of following “McHaywire” and totally changing the atmosphere into serious consideration of the powers of the human mind and all that can be achieved in focused expectation. Mark makes Mentalism a sensational audience event.

John T. Sheets and Corrine re-appeared with an amazing “Chop the Young Lady in Half” illusion which was presented with astounding effectiveness.
