Illusions of Magic

Yesterday we noticed a billboard advertising "Illusions of Magic" at the Palace Theater.  We bought tickets for the 2:00 pm show without having too high of expectations.


The show was WONDERFUL.  It lasted about 2 hours with a short intermission.  Tyler sat on the edge of his seat as he watched the magician cut a woman in half, make his assistant disappear, and perform many additional tricks.
 
Part way through the first half, Sammy pulled out her tooth.  What a crazy time to do dental work!  She was so proud of herself and the defining moment of losing #5!
 

 
The show featured not only a magician but also comedy, dancers, and a pair of skating performers  The highlight for all of us was Ben Blaque who performed tricks with a crossbow.  At one point he came out into the audience and gave Tyler a part of his target.  Tyler was grinning ear to ear!
 

As we left the theater, Sammy asked to pose for a picture with the giant lion out front.
