Born from the TV show of the same name and featuring participants from the World Magic Awards, the Masters of Illusion Tour runs the “gamut of magic styles,” according to Magic Magazine. (As long as that gamut doesn’t include female magicians, #amiright?) There’s Drexus, the mononymous man of mystery who can “make beautiful women appear and disappear;” Farrell Dillon, who blends stand-up with magic; grand illusionist and sleight-of-hand artist Greg Gleason; ballroom dancer and veteran Las Vegas magician Rick Thomas; French magician and Magic Castle member Titou; and some kind of Cirque-esque performers called the Monks. Expect swords, card tricks and scantily clad women fitting into small spaces.
7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5. $37.50-$44.50. Taft Theatre, 317 E. Fifth St., Downtown, tafttheatre.org.
