The Hilo Elks Lodge 759 will present its annual World of Magic show from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6, at downtown Hilo’s Palace Theater.
This year’s special performer will be international award-winning magician Bruce Meyers. Based in Hawaii and Washington, Meyers’ masterful stage presence and his warm, benevolent and funny personality quickly connects with his audience, compelling them to become part of the fun, wonder and magic.
Together with his wife and longtime stage partner, Jennifer, the Meyerses will perform ancient magic from India such as the Basket of Immortality. It will feature aerial dancer Luna Sophia as she ascends from the basket to perform her beautiful aerial silk artistry.
During the show, Meyers might ask the audience to hold on tight to a solid oak table as it floats around the stage, shower them with real flowers or, if they’re not careful, perhaps dozens of eggs.
“The noblest art is that of making others happy. That’s real magic. It’s what we do” the Meyers said.
Meyers was named Magician of the Year by the Northwest Ring of Fire in Seattle, Comedy Magician of the Year in Vancouver, Canada, and first place in stage by the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians.
At the end of the show, expect Santa to make a special appearance.
Sponsored by the Elks National Foundation and community members, admission to this performance is free; donations are welcome.
