Enjoy close-up magic in September

CONGREGATION SHOLOM BENEFIT

A unique close-up and stage magic show will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 27, in Clubhouse 2. Doors open at 12:30 p.m. and close-up magic begins at 1 p.m., followed by stage magic at 2 p.m.—both of which will amaze and dazzle viewers.

The show will feature eight magicians, including the mystifying, entertaining and worldfamous magician Tom Odgen. He was voted “Parlour Magician of the Year” at the Magic Castle in Hollywood. In addition, he was honored eleven times as “Close Up Magician of the Year.”

People may be familiar with him from cruise ships, or from his time as the opening act for such celebrities as Billy Crystal and Robin Williams. He has entertained many others, including Steve Martin, Johnny Depp and “Seinfeld” actor Jason Alexander.

His television work includes “The World’s Greatest Magic!” (NBC) and “The Great Magic of Las Vegas” (FOX).

The magic show is sponsored by Congregation Sholom. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased by calling 562-331-3949 or emailing joycebasch@verizon.net.
