The Culture Lab Opening: Nov 8, 2011 at 8:00pm Nov 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19 at 8:00pm Nov 13, 20 at 7:00pm Through the arts and crafts of illusion, Belarus born illusionist Vitaly Beckman creates a performance brimming with bewilderment and wonder; he performs jaw-dropping, mind-bending magic. Sensation of Magic has been a sell-out in Vancouver theatres, leaving audience members stunned, shaking their heads, unable to comprehend what they just experienced. In Sensation of Magic, Beckman takes great pride in the fact that every illusion in the show is an "impossible dream" to accomplish. They include “Super Vision,” where he demonstrates his ability by reading from borrowed newspapers, from a distance of up to 50 ft. Beckman can make people disappear from ordinary photographs and appear on another. He also demonstrates object levitation, a paintbrush that paints by itself, escapes from chains using only mind power, and makes a rose drawing turn into the real thing: a concrete example of his belief that dreams can become reality. "The show is not just magic,” says Beckman, “It’s about the realization of our dreams and the celebration of the human spirit. With the belief that we are only limited by our own imagination, the audience gets to experience the sensation that nothing is impossible, and that they can realize their dreams, or experience the sensation of how would life be, if there were no limitations.” Ticket Prices: Door: $25.00 Advance: $22.00 For tickets call The Cultch box office 604.251.1363 Purchase online at http://tickets.thecultch.com Or in person at 1895 Venables Street. |
