Magic - Beyond Belief III!

Richard Nakata, president of the MHMS, emcees this family-friendly show (last year’s show was a sellout) that includes illusionists Keir Royale & Anikka who bring an amazing mix of comedy, magic and illusions, Mark Strivings is a full time professional mind reader; inventor of magic and mentalism effects, Matthew Knight entertains through sleight-of-hand, illusion, manipulation, mental magic, story telling and mysteries, Ann Lincoln is the world’s only knife-juggling, strait-jacket escaping, fire-eating, rabbit & dove-appearing, bowling-ball-juggling-while-eating-an-apple Juggler, Magician & Comedian, Derek McKee has been performing the art of magic for over 7 years and has won awards such as the Lance Burton Award of Excellence and the Sorcerers Safari scholarship. He has dazzled audiences in Colorado, Las Vegas and Canada. That’s pretty good for a 14 year-old! Dr. Nincompoop (AKA Christopher Manos) is a larger-than-life luminary who holds extremely amazing advanced degrees in archaeology, ideology, mineralogy, entomology, zoology, numerology, oly-oly-ology and as you soon will see, cosmetology. This is the 4th year that Kimberly Holter has been performing magic with her Uncle Chris. A 6th-grader hailing from Falcon Creek Middle School, Kimberly loves to help people plans to donate her beautiful blonde hair, for a third time, for children who have cancer. The evening includes a performance by John T. Sheets & Company with his Award-Winning Las Vegas style illusions and magic man Gregg Tobo.

For more than forty years the Society of American Magicians has recognized the anniversary of the death of Harry Houdini with special events to highlight the charitable work of the Society throughout the year. Houdini died at 1:26 PM on October 31, 1926 and was president of the Society from 1917 until his death.

“MAGIC – Beyond Belief III!” is the annual fund-raising program of the Mile High Magicians Society, a Denver-based non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the art of magic. The Mile High Magicians Society is a local chapter of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Society of American Magicians.
