A cast of over a
dozen performers will be casting their ‘spell’ over Durban audiences when The
South African Magical Society (SAMS) hosts its annual showcase at Rhumbelow Theatre
highlighting the best of Durban’s magical talent.
The show, titled Magical Mayhem has many brand new facets
for patrons to enjoy. Producer Ricki Gray, already no stranger to Durban
audiences, explains that the family friendly show is designed to attract
audiences that have enjoyed previous shows hosted by SAMS as well as attract
new audiences.
“There are many new
surprises in store,” Gray explains. “For example, this year Roland Stansell,
long-time member of the magical society, is hosting the show as Grand Panto
Dame, Miss Direction.”
The show will
feature both amateur and professional magicians and will include a variety of
magical acts, from illusions to cards and from mentalism to comedy. By popular
demand, once again, magicians will not only be performing on stage, but at the
tables. This style of magic - called close-up or intimate magic - will allow
audiences to experience magic like never before; up close and personal.
Presented by Rhumbelow
