Enjoy close-up magic in September

CONGREGATION SHOLOM BENEFIT

“It’s Magic” is coming to Leisure World on Wednesday, Sept. 27, in Clubhouse 2, sponsored by Congregation Sholom. Professional magicians, including Magic Castle performers, will entertain.

At 1 p.m., they will do close-up magic at the tables, right in people’s hands and in front of their eyes. Dan Habel, a magician and Leisure World resident, will join three other professional magicians to dazzle attendees. Habel has won first place in the International Brotherhood of Magicians Ring 96 competition. Currently, he teaches magic at the Seal Beach Community Center in Rossmoor.

At 2 p.m., four additional magicians, including the world renowned Tom Ogden, will impress with their magic skills. Ogden has performed extensively on cruise ships and has been the opening act for Billy Crystal and Robin Williams.

Tickets for the two-hour show cost $15. To purchase tickets, call 562-331-3949 or email Joyce Basch at joycebasch@verizon.net.

Dan Habel is one of the many magicians who will perform at the Sept. 27 show.
