Conceived by British high-tech magician Jamie Allen (iMagician), this experiential exhibit blends Jamie’s encyclopedic knowledge of the history of magic with state-of-the-art technology, bringing the illusions of the past into the 21stcentury. Comprised of a series of four magical rooms, each representing a different era in starting with the 17th century, visitors are guided through ever-evolving styles of magic spanning hundreds of years.
“ILLUSIONARIUM is completely unique in seamlessly blending technology and practical magic – I have been combining magic and technology since I was a boy but this takes that passion to a whole new level.” says creator Jamie Allan. “I am so thrilled to debut this new experiential work in Toronto – it is a great launchpad for new productions and the community of talented performers is so impressive.”
