Okotoks: The Big Rock Variety Show [May 12]

From Okotoks Online:

Thursday, May 12, 2022

James Jordan, magician, comedian, vaudevillian. Magic inspired James Jordan to become a performer. He ventured through all kinds of performance art; dance, improv, musical theatre, stand-up comedy, circus, juggling and escapology. He went full circle in 2007 when he rekindled his love of magic, now with a full arsenal of new skills to make him a more versatile magician.

Jeff Newman will influence your thoughts. He’ll predict what you'll do before you even know you’re doing it. He will even read your mind.
He’ll fool you badly, and you’ll love every minute of it. Jeff Newman is an award-winning mentalist and magician that combines science, suggestion, and good old-fashioned trickery with humour and charm to create an astounding, engaging experience that his audiences will not stop talking about.

*With local Eagle Radio personality Logan Coutts as our MC!
**Special opening performance by the dancers at Possak Hampshire Irish Dance Academy!
