Magic is obviously a common theme in popular music. There’s an endless list of songs with titles that include the word “magic,” but most of these equate magic with a bubbling romance or a feeling someone gives when you’re with them. Tristan Crist offers a different kind of magical experience–one based on illusion and make believe.

This Friday, October 15th, you can experience a bit of that magic. Tristan Crist brings his show to the St. Paul Acadamy & Summit School’s Goodrich Campus Auditorium, starting Friday at 7pm.

The show is a mashup of comedy, theatrical performance, breathtaking illusions, and pulse-pounding, terrifying escapes. A master at storytelling, Tristan Crist relates well to his audiences, creating a fun, engaging, and often mesmerizing experience.

In his performance, classic magic meets modern theatrical presentation as the illusionist demonstrates dangerous disappearing acts and even predicts the future. He performs intimate sleight-of-hand tricks with cards, rings, or whatever items he gets his hands on, but also saws a lady in half, performs the dramatic Origami Illusion, and the fastest feat of magic ever–Houdini’s famous Metamorphosis.
