5 headlining magicians together on 1 stage, for 1-night only, raising money for the underserved, at risk, and disabled youth of our communities.
OXNARD — Oxnard Performing Arts Center Corp. (OPAC) along with The House of MAGIC Foundation for the Arts are proud to present, SPELLBOUND Magic Mashup, on October 7, 2022, at 7 PM. This one-night show will bring some of the best names in magic to the stage for a fun-filled, family-friendly evening of magic and entertainment. Through the event, the nonprofits aim to raise funding for their programs that benefit the underserved, children at risk, and people with dis abilities. Studies show that magic improves communication skills, builds confidence, fosters creativity, and stewards perseverance, among other physical, psychological, perceptual and social benefits.
While other forms of arts and entertainment are well represented in the County, such as live music and traditional theater, magic is a rare, but truly special part of the performing arts. Both OPAC and House of Magic are dedicated to growing appreciation for the art form and recently held a weeklong summer camp in Oxnard and made scholarships available to underserved children.
The show features:
-
Host Wildcat Jackson, a self-proclaimed monarch of the west, who entertains as an old-west showman in a modern world.
-
Shawn McMaster, a comedy magician and favorite at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood California. His performance features audience participation, astonishing magic, and a finale that must be seen to believe.
-
Award-winning magician and Santa Paula resident, James Lantiegne, who loves performing in the style of storytelling. “The Magic of Life” will take audience members on a fun, entertaining, and magical journey through his past.
-
Special guest and Academy Award winning writer of “Rain Man”, Barry Morrow, will talk about his inspiration for the movie and how magic can assist people with disabilities.
-
The second half of the show begins with a high energy act, quick-change magical artists from Europe. They performed in over 20 countries, including the United States.
-
Vegas magician, Mondre, performs his award-winning Dove act.
