The Magic of Christmas

TICKETS ON SALE FOR CHRISTMAS MAGIC SHOW

Candy made by magic, toys that come to life, and the magical appearance of Santa Claus himself with gifts for all - these are a few of the wonders that will appear at the Alamo Theatre in Bucksport, Maine, as part of The Magic of Christmas, a magic show for the whole family on Saturday, December 5 at 2:00 pm. The show is the creation of Ring 362 of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, a nonprofit group for the promotion of the magical arts.

Four magicians will appear in The Magic of Christmas. Danny Baker of Brewer, Maine's funniest magician, will show an enchanted doll house that brings toys to life. Professor Miller of Blue Hill will perform his award-winning routine with the Chinese Rings, in which rings of solid metal link and unlink by magic. Alex Turanski will work wonders with the simplest of objects, a length of rope. Dr. Wilson of Bar Harbor, a magical chef, will create a Christmas Cake by magic. Dancer Sennyo will join the magicians, performing with a magical hula hoop.

No Christmas show would be complete without an appearance by Santa Claus. Santa is taking time from his busy schedule to appear in the show, because Christmas is the most magical time of the year. He remembers starting each of the four magicians on their performing careers with the gift of a magic set. Santa will have a big sack of toys and games to give away, and promises a gift to everyone who attends the show.

Advance tickets for The Magic of Christmas are available at Bittersweet Gift Shop in Bucksport. General admission tickets are $8 for all ages; the doors open at 1:30 pm on December 5. Due to the limited seating capacity of the Alamo Theatre, the purchase of tickets in advance is recommended. Ticket sales benefit Ring 362 of the International Brotherhood of Magicians.
