Sleight of Hand, Close-Up Magic and Charm
Casts Spell on Audience in Intimate Setting
Washington, DC - August 1, 2006 - Glenn Gary, Washington DC's leading magician, announced today that he will perform every Friday night at the
National Press Club in a new show called Parlor Magic, starting September 1, 2006.
"This is by far the best close-up show that I have ever performed, both for the level of sophistication and mastery required," Gary says. "People won't need to travel to Las Vegas now to see world class magic. They'll be able to see
close-up illusions and magic effects that will simply amaze them, right before their eyes, and right here in DC."
The Parlor Magic show harkens back to another time, the "Gilded Age" of a
hundred years ago, when the rich and famous entertained in the parlors of their
homes. With only 40 guests per show at 8 pm, the show takes on an intimate feel of yesteryear. Gary's program includes several signature magic effects, including a floating card box effect which he originated and made famous.
The show is expected to become a must-see event in Washington, DC for individuals and groups visiting the city as well as residents of the greater Washington area.
Tickets are available from www.glenngary.com.
