THE MAGIC OF BILL BLAGG LIVE! AT VITERBO UNIVERSITY SEPT. 21

LA CROSSE, Wis. – Audience members will be amazed at The Magic of Bill Blagg Live! Sunday, Sept. 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the Viterbo University Fine Arts Center Main Theatre.

Described as “simply amazing” by the Chicago Tribune and “Unbelievable!” by USA Today, The Magic of Bill Blagg Live! is an incredible high-energy, grand-scale magic show that will have audience members rubbing their eyes in disbelief. The show features mind blowing illusions and interactive, action-packed magic, and Blagg’s entertaining personality, making it a great event for the entire family.

Blagg’s love of magic began when he was five years old and he received his first beginner’s magic set. By the time he was in junior high, Blagg knew that being a professional magician was the only career for him.

“I perform to see the smile on people’s faces,” Blagg said. “Seeing their looks of amazement, hearing their laughter, and knowing I’m making a difference in their day, even if it’s only for a short period of time. Those are the greatest highlights of being an entertainer and that’s why I love it. I want people to come to my show and enjoy every single moment.”

This performance opens Viterbo’s 2014–15 Bright Star Season and is sponsored by InTech Integrated Marketing Services and in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board, with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts. KQEG-TV is the media sponsor.

Tickets are $34 for main floor, $30 for lower balcony, and $24 for upper balcony seating. For more information or to order tickets, contact the Viterbo box office at 608-796-3100 or visit www.viterbo.edu/tickets.
