The mystery of magic and illusion
Residents and visitors to the community were treated to an afternoon of magic and illusion at the Riverside Centre Theatre Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com
The Princeton Arts Council hosted an afternoon of magic and illusion with the talents of Ted and Marion Outerbridge at the Riverside Centre Theatre on Sunday, Feb. 23. The thrilling duo captivated their audience with the arts of acting/storytelling, dance, magic and illusion. Greta, the psychic goose, is introduced and with participation from audience members is able to thrill them with her ability to read their minds. Upon relieving herself (Greta) on stage Ted Outbridge notes that Nola, the lady in the audience who was asked to think of a letter from the alphabet, “must have been thinking of the letter P.” Jamie Halloway who said, “the show was totally amazing,” tried quite hard to not be noticed, but she was and wound up being chosen to assist with a card trick. Outerbridge had the audience giggling with his faulty attempts at guessing Jamie’s card successfully and then surprised everyone by pulling up the “four of hearts” out of the deck of cards he had drawn on paper. Glow Lemon graciously played the part of Princeton’s archivist as three things were chosen by the audience that would be in a time capsule representing Princeton.
