Old Time Magic Show!
Nov 8 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

Enjoy this FREE event and go back in time to the 1800s with Professor Longhair, the Time Traveling Salesman.
Enjoy as he attempts to show you the magical illusions that he has gathered over the years during his adventures. All of the tricks and illusions were devised in a time when everything was hand made by true artisans. Illusionists sold their wares from town to town, demonstrating their skills and their magical items. Go back in time, laugh, learn, but most of all, have fun!

This is a historically accurate depiction of how illusions were represented in the 1800s. There is a brief history describing magicians and illusions of that era. Educational and fun for all ages.
Professor Longhair has entertained at many venues across the country including the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, The Magic House, and the world famous Birchmere Auditorium in Alexandria Virginia.
