Join us for an overview of the "Golden Age" of magic, from Jean Robert-Houdin through George Melies.
The connection between technology and magic is explored, and several classic magic effects will be described and demonstrated for us. Hear the story of Chung Ling Soo, fatally wounded on stage during his "bullet catch" act-and learn his greatest secret!
This program is being offered in recognition of Warren County's Bicentennial celebration.
