When was the last time you experienced true magic – that feeling of awe and childlike joy in your heart? It most often appears when someone shows you something you’ve never seen before, and it’s even more exciting when there’s nothing you can do to explain it.

Join the Center for Education and the Performing Arts in Pell City (CEPA) this fall for the return of the region’s best magicians. On Sept. 8, they host the Magic City Magic Club for “A Magical Evening.” The event will feature several premier performers from the area sharing the stage in Pell City for one night only.

This family-friendly show is one of CEPA’s most popular performances all year. These talented showmen delight children and adults alike with their amazing tricks. And this year they’ve been working especially hard to bring all-new material.

“Last year, these guys literally made me appear from thin air at the start of the show. It was amazing to watch the crowd react,” CEPA Director Jeff Thompson said. “Working with the Magic City Magic Club is one of the most exciting things I’ve had the opportunity to do since I’ve been here, and I can’t wait to see what they’ve come up with for 2018.”

A Magical Evening will feature multiple magicians on the CEPA stage for an all-new night of magic and laughter for the entire family! Join them for non-stop illusions in a brand-new show, culminating in a finale that you won’t believe.

This year’s performers include David Merlin, Tommy Ellison, Matt Wilson, TJ Latham, Khris Reaves, Brandon Herring, and Brian Reaves – two-time “Birmingham Magician of the Year” and 2016 Close-Up Champion at the WCM in Pigeon Forge, Tenn.

Doors open at 6 p.m. with close-up magic in the lobby, and the main show begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale now. Children’s tickets are $8, and adult tickets are $15 for General Admission Seating. Visit pellcitycepa.com/tickets now to get yours.
