Combining card tricks with comedy and Houdini-style escape artistry, Abra Da-Cameron has all the ingredients of a world class magic show. It takes elements almost all children enjoy - like jokes and drawing - and turns them into astounding illusions, with bonus humour. Adults are catered for too, with chains, shackles, locks, and the impressive removal of clothing under an intriguing set of circumstances. Don’t worry, it’s all very family friendly.

Cameron the Magician gets the audience in the mood for magic with invisible card decks that defy reality by taking physical form. Like all good magicians, Cameron relies on belief, suspense, and the allowance of underwear jokes, in addition to the successful execution of astonishing feats of illusion. More than one trick leaves everyone scratching their brains, and a high degree of audience participation keeps even the youngest of attendees intensely engaged in the show.

At one point, Cameron vanishes, never to be seen again. That is, until thirty seconds later, when he reappears to perform a hilarious trick involving a locked box, a signed playing card, and a couple of audience volunteers.

Cameron's final trick combines playing cards, a book, and impressive examples of telepathy. This is the part where he teaches the audience how to read minds and predict the future; parents beware! At the end of the show, a mini magic workshop teaches kids a few more tricks to perform at home, encouraging the next generation of magicians.

In addition to being a masterful magician and an amusing entertainer, Cameron is generous with this time, expertise, and enthusiasm for all things mysterious.

Light-hearted, entertaining, and impressive, Abra Da-Cameron is a fun-filled magic show the entire family will want to see twice.
