BROOKINGS – Escape artist and award-winning illusionist Jay Owenhouse will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 20, at the Swiftel Center in Brookings.

Tickets to his “Dare to Believe!” illusion spectacular go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, April 21, at the Swiftel Center box office, by phone at 800-745-3000 and online at www.ticketmaster.com.

Ticket prices are $29.50, $39.50 and $69.50.

Owenhouse welcomes the audience into his mysterious world of wonder and the impossible. He says they will experience a night of grand illusions with the most amazing magic in the world: Bengal tigers up close, dangerous escapes, and inspiring storytelling.

Jay has performed before millions of television viewers in “Masters of Illusions” and “Magic on the Edge.”

Caught by the magic bug at 4 years old, Owenhouse first performed as a freshman in high school. Since then, in the spirit of “giving it away to keep it,” he’s invented magic effects and designed illusions not only for his show, but also for other magicians of world renown.

Owenhouse spent 2008 touring China and Japan, where his show received the Best Touring Family Show in Asia Award. Now back in the United States, he is working on his new television series and touring the country with his live show “Dare to Believe!”
