If you love classic magic and have been captured by the recent feature films, The Prestige and The Illusionist that highlight a return to the fascinating theatrical entertainment known as magic, then you won't want to miss Eric DeCamps in "An Evening of Intimate Magic." In his hands, ordinary objects become extraordinary.


Mr. DeCamps has been performing for more than 30 years and has been voted Magician of the Year by The Society of American Magicians. He is only the second person in the 105 year history of the organization to receive the prestigious Gold Medal of Excellence for Close Up Magic.


Charming and witty, this show will not only provoke your sense for wonder and mystery, it will give you a new appreciation for this classic art form. Eric DeCamps is the personification of a magician - debonair and engaging, enchanting and mystifying.


His performances are filled with compelling stories and visual artistry. Mr. DeCamps has developed a style of intimate conjuring that permits his audience to become part of the performance. Familiar objects like a champagne glass, a few silver dollars, a piece of tissue paper, a silk cord and deck playing cards are a few of the objects that share the stage with him. And, at every turn, he performs the seemingly impossible.


Mr. DeCamps has been a serious student of the art of magic for over 30 years. He served his apprenticeship at New York's Magic Towne House. Later he performed at the celebrated Greenwich Village nightclub, Mostly Magic, for more than 12 years. In recent years, he has performed throughout the United States, Europe, Japan, and South America at exclusive society events and for Fortune 500 companies.


Steve Cuiffo (the show's director) is the author of The Amazing Russello and a consultant on David Blaine's network television specials. He is one of the founding directors of The Conjuring Arts Research Center, dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of magic and its allied arts.
