If you’re like me you’re a sucker for a great magic show!  I love being completely dumbfounded while my brain asks my eyes if they believe what they just saw.  Did you know we have a theater in Saint Paul that regularly brings magic acts to town?  It’s the Jewel Theatre in the Twin Cities Magic & Costume store on West 7th Street.  Not only does this place have every kind of costume you could ever imagine, it has an upstairs theater for magic shows.

TCMC is not messing around either.  Their website boasts:

“We have Magic,  over 4,000 Rentals,  Makeup,  15,000 Wigs, Masks, Boas, Costumes, Novelties, Gloves, Hats, Rhinestone Jewelry and much, much more  ! ! ! !  15,000  items  for  sale!  THE ONLY COMPLEX OF ITS KIND ON THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT”

That write up alone was enough to get me there.  I mean with 15,000 wigs you could wear a different wig every day for 41 years!

So check this place out for costumes or for magic.  In fact, here is the next show:

Eric Anderson
Jewel Theatre
Monday, December 21, 2009
7:30pm–doors open at 7pm.

Who is Eric Anderson, you ask?  Well, he was a featured performer at the Atlanta Olympics and has performed for President Jimmy Carter.

Or as Stephan Marston, Sales & Marketing Director at an international publisher says, “I must admit that when I told some of my colleagues that I was going to fly this guy named Eric Anderson from Atlanta to London just to perform for a couple of hours at our cocktail party, they all thought I was crazy!  Now that they have seen you in action they all agree that it was worth every penny.”

Speaking of pennies, it’s $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors.

No word yet if he’s planning to make subzero temperatures or bump to bumper commutes disappear.

I hope he does!
