Magician and Mentalist Paul Vigil presents ‘Doors of Deception’

 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.

More information and tickets are available through Sedona International Film Festiva

Obliter8 2 0 by Wayne Fox & TCC Magic

 Now available at www.magiciansmagicshop.com

Wayne Fox's iconic 8-ball routine Obliter8, has long been out of stock. But now, it finally returns in its 2.0 version, produced by TCC Team. Visually squeeze an 8 ball and return it to the card case. A spectator chooses a card from the deck, and you surprise them by dropping an 8-ball out of a card case, landing in their hands, revealing the selected card's identity. However, the 8-ball is too large to fit back in the case. You then visually compress the solid 8-ball and slide it back into the card box, leaving the audience amazed. This unexpected but logical climax to the classic 8-ball effect delivers a unique visual impact and is highly interactive and entertaining. The entire performance engages the audience fully, whether in a walkaround or theater show, ensuring a lasting impression. It's incredibly easy to use, making it accessible for almost anyone to perform immediately. Obliter8 2.0 is crafted with high-quality resin molding and carefully selected paint for a realistic feel.
