A touring show spun off from the CW Network TV program Masters of Illusion will bring jaw-dropping acts of deception to the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts this Friday.

More than 250 million people watched Masters of Illusion during its 14-year run as it featured beguiling performances by illusionists from around the world. The touring magic show, which features some of the same award-winning performers, will allow audiences to get an in-person look at their illusions, according to promoters.

The Tobin Center show will just feature not just mind-bending tricks but a variety comedic magic performances to lighten up the mood, organizers also promised.
