Brian Brushwood to Perform Bizarre Magic April 14 at UMC
Brian Brushwood, nationally touring magician, will bring his “Truly Bizarre Magic Show” to the University of Minnesota, Crookston (UMC) the evening of Wednesday, April 14. The performance will begin at 8 p.m. in Kiehle Auditorium. Admission is free to UMC students and $2 for all others. The event is open to the public.
In one show, Brushwood performs fire eating, escapes from an audience-tied straitjacket, performs slight-of-hand, breaks cinder blocks over his head, sticks nails in his eyes, reads minds, lays on a bed of nails, performs the indescribable “human crazy straw,” and much more.
Touring colleges and clubs from coast to coast, he has also appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” He has been awarded both the Best Club Magic and Best Comedy Magic Awards by the Texas Association of Magicians, and he has won the respect of such fellow magicians as Teller (of Penn & Teller), who said, “Brian Brushwood just kills me. He’s funny, dangerous, and brilliantly original. He’s going to be really famous very soon.”
The event is sponsored by UMC’s S.P.A.C.E (Student Programming and Activities for Campus Entertainment) Committee. Disability accommodations are available upon request and can be made by calling 218-281-8586.
