Come celebrate our first full season in the Shepherd Barn, support Historic Northampton, and enjoy a night of disappearing ice cream and sophisticated close-up magic by sleight-of-hand artist Christopher McBride.
During this special benefit for Historic Northampton, McBride will use an ordinary deck of playing cards to perform tricks that seem to defy natural laws, challenge your perception of what is real . . . and make you smile. He will also explore some of the history of sleight-of-hand card magic, which dates back to the 15th century when playing cards became popular and widespread. A large projection screen will show the fine details of his sleight-of-hand ensuring that everyone in the audience will have a good view. Because McBride's performance requires an adult’s attention, this program is recommended for ages 15 and up. Your reservation includes your choice of four delicious flavors of Herrell's ice cream, plus hot fudge sauce. No wands required. Learn More |
