CANCELED: Jay Owenhouse

press release: Modern day illusionist Jay Owenhouse “The Authentic Illusionist” returns to Overture’s Capitol Theater for one night only—Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 7:30 pm—to perform a variety of astonishing tricks and masterful illusions that are sure to spellbind audiences of all ages. A legendary escape artist and one of the most awarded illusionists in history, Owenhouse presents an illusion spectacular in Dare to Believe!

The show has been voted by audiences and critics alike as “One of the Top 10 Live Shows in America.” Owenhouse has amazed millions on TV in “Masters of Illusion” and “Magic on the Edge.” The Salt Lake Tribune calls him “simply amazing!” and the Tokyo Times describes the elaborate production as “truly magic, a must see!”

Owenhouse welcomes you into his mysterious world of wonder and the impossible. You will experience grand illusions with the most amazing magic in the world, Bengal tigers up close, dangerous escapes and inspiring storytelling. Seeing the Owenhouse family live will leave you breathless.

Caught by the magic bug at four years old, Owenhouse first performed as a freshman in high school. Since then, in the spirit of “giving it away to keep it,” he has invented magic effects and designed illusions not only for his show, but also for other world-renowned magicians.

From Bozeman, Montana, Owenhouse is known for his work with tigers and his performances of famous illusions originally done by Harry Houdini. Notably, he has performed a version of the Suspended Straitjacket Escape with the addition of spiked jaws that slam shut after two minutes.

The phenomenal Dare to Believe! show breaks new ground across the nation as a mind boggling, spell-binding experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Owenhouse’s show is a theatrical event where audiences not only witness the magic—they experience it! Audience members will float in mid-air, get sawed in half, disappear and predict the future. The show also features Shekinah, a royal white tiger, and Sheena, a standard orange Bengal.

VIP Gold tickets are available for $79 each and include premium seating, souvenir lanyard and VIP badge (no access), souvenir program and VIP backstage Meet & Greet with Owenhouse and one of his tigers (only available 45 minutes before the show). Proceeds from the VIP Gold tickets go to help save tigers and cheetahs from extinction through the Corbett Foundation.
