WHIT HAYDN
Whit Haydn is that strangest of creatures, an honest cheat--a fake scoundrel. Whether on stage or performing close-up magic at an elegant private party, Whit Haydn combines his magic with the wit and charm of a con artist and the deftness of a pickpocket. His humor, wit, and incredible skill keep people talking long after the event.
Whit’s versatility, warmth and humor have made him a favorite even among his fellow magicians. The Magic Castle, Hollywood’s world famous clubhouse for the Academy of Magical Arts, honored him with six academy awards— "Stage Magician of the Year" twice as " Parlour Magician of the Year," twice as "Close-Up Magician of the Year" and this year as "W. C. Fields Bar Magician of the Year."
Top professional
magicians from all over the world have performed Whit’s original published
routines. He is the author of several books, videotapes and DVDs on magic, and
is a frequent lecturer at magic conventions and seminars in the
On stage, Whit combines wit, humor and audience participation with unbelievable sleight-of-hand to weave a spell of enchantment and fun. He proposes to teach how some of the classic feats of magic are done. As the explanation progresses, so does the confusion as magic just seems to happen, and the audience, the on-stage volunteers, and the magician are caught up in a mystifying web of comedy and pure magic. Using everyday objects such as an egg, a rope, and a newspaper, Whit turns classic magic inside out–the magician seems lost as the magic happens in the hands of the spectators.
We have Whit Haydn joining us on June 22, 2009. Come on out and learn how to become an honest cheat!! Non-members will be $25 at the door. There are no other discounts available as this is an exclusive lecture.
