Direct from Las Vegas, illusionist Bill Blagg is coming to The Genesee Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 9, for one show only. Blagg has been hailed by critics across the country for his unique style of magic and illusion. His theatrical magic experience features jaw-dropping illusions, mind-blowing magic and more.

Blagg’s big break occurred when he won a prestigious magic competition at age 18 in the “Magic Capital of the World,” Colon, Michigan. He went down in magic history as the youngest contestant to ever win the event and joined the ranks of his idols which include Las Vegas’ very own master magician, Lance Burton.

Blagg is widely regarded for his unconventional style of magic which doesn’t involve cliché tricks with playing cards or birds. Instead, Blagg prefers to thrill his audiences with his incredible grand-scale illusions, such as instantly teleporting across theaters and squishing his body to just 5 inches tall. Blagg combines his magical talents with his quick wit and off-the-cuff personality which creates an incredible experience for all ages.
