Famous magicians have grabbed people’s attention by performing their most daring tricks in front of large audiences. Biscayne Bay Campus will have the opportunity to witness its own magic show with Jason Bishop on Feb. 20 at 12 p.m. in the Mary Ann Wolfe Theatre .
Some tricks students can look forward to are levitating, slide of hands, and a dollar bill transformed into a $100 bill.
Jason Bishop has been awarded the “Jack Gwynne award for Excellence in Presentation.” He was the youngest person to win the Magicians’ Alliance of Eastern States Stage Award.
“It’s going to be an exciting show,” said Catherine Vega, BBC Student Programming Council president.
Vega also said that what attracted them most to Bishop is levitating. This will be the first time Bishop performs at FIU.
As a national winning illusionist, Bishop has entertained large audiences across the country, including Norwegian Cruise lines and the Tropicana Hotel in Atlantic City. He has also preformed for celebrities like Bam Margera and Chris Penn.
Costume changes, lighting and his way of engaging with the audience give his show a modern energy.
The act will last until approximately 1 p.m.
