Category: Nightlife

Michael Bloemeke is an award-winning magician based in the Triangle. His show is a mix of magic, mentalism, and comedy. Over the course of an hour, he will do everything from read your mind to produce drinks out of thin air to teleport a card across the room, with comedy running throughout.The show is interactive from the first minute. Volunteers come up on stage, things get thrown out into the audience, and plenty of people end up part of a trick without ever leaving their seats. The magic is built to play to the whole room, so the back row sees everything the front row does.This is not the show that you'll see once and forget it. Audiences talk about it for weeks afterwards.Michael represented the United States at the world championship of magic in Italy, where he came home with the prize for Most Original Act. He has appeared on The CW's Masters of Illusion, and he spent several months performing in The Magician's Table, a theater show from London that sold out night after night in Charlotte and is still touring the country.

Magic, Mentalism, & Comedy is a one-hour interactive stage show featuring illusionist Michael Bloemeke at the Mettlesome Theater in Durham. The performance combines sleight of hand, mind-reading, and humor with heavy audience participation. Because the venue is intimate, every seat has a clear view of the stage. The show is best suited for adults and teenagers rather than younger children, as the mentalism and comedy require a longer attention span. Street parking is available around the theater, and you should plan to arrive fifteen minutes early to find a spot and get settled before the doors close. This show makes an excellent weekend pick if you want a quick, high-energy night out in Durham. It wraps up in an hour, leaving you plenty of time to grab dinner or drinks nearby afterward.
