Las Vegas magician and mentalist Paul Vigil is bringing his acclaimed live show, Doors of Deception, to Sedona International Film Festival for a special one-night-only performance on May 8 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
Known for his deeply deceptive style of magic and mentalism, Vigil has spent years performing in Las Vegas, including a long-running one-man show at the Mirage Resort. His career has also included appearances on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, performances at major Las Vegas casinos, sold-out shows at the legendary Magic Castle, and private events for Fortune 500 executives and Nobel Prize winners.
Vigil has earned a reputation among magicians for creating effects that not only fool audiences, but also leave fellow performers baffled. Penn Jillette and Teller have described him as one of the most diabolical minds in magic.
Blending sleight of hand, psychological illusion, storytelling, and theatrical mystery, Vigil’s 65-minute performance takes audiences through reimagined classics of magic alongside his own original creations. The show builds toward a finale designed to leave audiences questioning what they just witnessed.
Vigil’s background is as unusual as his performances. He attended Utah State University on a Botanical Preservation Corp scholarship, later studying ethno-pharmacology and the role of magic and mysticism throughout history. Over the years, he has traveled extensively studying shamanic traditions and incorporates many of those influences into the atmosphere and philosophy behind his performances.
Another major influence on Vigil’s career was legendary magician Johnny Thompson, who mentored him for nearly two decades. Thompson is widely regarded as one of the greatest magic minds in history and was highly respected by Penn & Teller and the global magic community.
Doors of Deception with Paul Vigil will take place Friday, May 8 at 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre in Sedona, Arizona. General admission tickets are $40, while VIP tickets are $50 and include reserved seating in the first three rows along with a complimentary beverage.
