Master magician to perform variety of tricks for SIBS

Super will perform a wide variety of stunts, including classical card tricks and the levitation of an audience member.
“His show is definitely family-oriented,” said Scott Konkol, Saginaw freshman and On the Fly Productions public relations chair. “It is probably one of the best acts I’ve ever seen.”
OTF is sponsoring the event.
Super has entertained college campuses across the nation with his magic act and has even performed for some celebrities.
“He has done shows for celebrities like Regis Philbin and Joan Rivers,” Konkol said.
Super is no stranger to Central Michigan University, as he performed during last year’s Leadership Safari.
He has a long list of awards and credentials, including being named America’s Best Entertainer of the Year in 2003 and has memberships in the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Society of American Magicians.
Some of Super’s more abstract stunts involve making snow appear from his bare hands and folding an audience member small enough to fit into a Japanese box.
The act provides hearty entertainment for older and younger audience members, Konkol said, and continues the SIBS Weekend trend of providing family fun.
West Bloomfield freshman Jeremy Gladstone said magic hasn’t lost its appeal.
“I’ll never be too old for magic,” he said. “I mean, growing up there was a point I realized it was not real, but even so, I still enjoy the showmanship behind magic.”
Admission for the event is free to students and siblings of all ages.
