An exciting night of mystery and magic is promised at the Tudor House in Arrowhead Villas on February 7th when Magic Castle magician Greg Van Holsbeck brings his amazing show to the mountains for a one-night-only performance. “Van Holsbeck believes in bringing innovation and creativity to the art of magic with every one of his performances” (gvmagic.com).
As a Magic Castle magician he has performed around the world, including cruise ships, the Chicago Magic Lounge and the Illusion Magic Lounge. He is a creator of many magical illusions. He is also a frequent performer at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood. He was voted “Best Local Illusionist” by Inland Empire Magazine.
Van Holsbeck’s original magic is so well respected that his magical creations are now a staple in the acts of many other magicians around the world. His appearance at the Tudor House on February 7tth is a rare opportunity to see this professional magical show in person.
Who is Greg Van Holsbeck you may ask? He is a southern Californian from Upland, but he is now known around the world due to his performances in various venues, theaters and magic clubs worldwide. Van Holsbeck has been fascinated with magic and illusions since he was a 10-year-old kid when he initially discovered a Marshall Brodien Magic Kit. This intrigued him instantly, and it turned that initially shy, quiet kid into a more confident teen and skilled young adult magician. His fascination quickly turned to an obsession as he grew and collected piles of books and began absorbing everything he could on the subject of prestidigitation. As he matured and learned more and more magic, learning from the pros while amazing others with his new skills, his confident stage presence and performance skills blossomed. He became a respected magician. Then he began inventing his own original illusions.
Van Holsbeck’s experiences at the Magic Castle only increased his stage presence and skills. Now, twenty-two years later, he has made a career out of his magical obsession by creating his own opportunities and original magical illusions on stages around the world.
This one-night-only performance will start at 6 p.m. at the Tudor House at 800 Arrowhead Villa Road. Tickets are now available at www.HeislerTheater.com for $25 for each adult ticket.
