Seattle Public Theater at the Greenlake Bathhouse

All ages from 8 to 108 will be amazed and dazzled! Tickets on sale now-one show only! www.seattlepublictheater.org or 206.524.1300.

“Up-Close and Magical” boasts cutting edge close-up magic, yet it is staged for 200 people in a real theater. How will everyone see the magic
effects that are traditionally performed for a small group at a dinner table?

Solution: Soule is working with Fremont Studios to broadcast a close up view of the table top using three 60 inch flat screens above his head for the entire
audience to have a perfect view of every bit of the magic. In these times, close-up magic is making a revival and with large flat screens, Soule offers an
alternative to the presentation of stage illusions that cost thousands just to set up. “It is the power of amazement, wonder and awe that drives creativity and imagination and ultimately propels business to new heights,” says Soule. And his new way of presenting close-up magic appears to be no exception to the rule.
