While the Great Neck Library is filled with the magic of books, a new sort of magic will be hosted at the library as famed magician Rogue brings his talents in an exclusive performance of magic and mentalism.
The Great Neck Library will be hosting “Rogue’s Magic and Mentalism Show for Adults” on Sunday at 2 p.m. in the community room.
Rogue is a comedy magician and mentalist based in New York City who has been working on his craft for more than 25 years, taking his performances global.
He has his documentary “Misdirection” and has appeared on season 9 of “America’s Got Talent” and HBO’s “Crashing.”
Rogue said he likes to make his performances light-hearted and focused on the audience members in order to make it fun for everybody.
He said people planning to attend his show at the Great Neck Library should expect mind reading, hypnosis, comedy and audience participation.
What makes Rogue’s magic so special, he said, is that his shows are about incorporating the audience members into his performance. This means that attendees won’t just witness magic, but also get to enact it themself.
“So they’re going to be able to make something float or they’re going to be able to read somebody’s mind,” Rogue said.
Rogue said he does not perform at public events often, making this show a unique opportunity for individuals to witness his magic.
“So they get to see me and my unique brand of magic and mind-reading,” Rogue said. “And I think we have a fun thing for everybody.”
Rogue said he is most looking forward to putting smiles on people’s faces and possibly inspiring future magicians during his show at the Great Neck Library.
Tickets are required to attend the magic event at the library. Tickets can be purchased at the Main Library, Station Branch and Lakeville Branch. Great Neck Library cardholders are eligible to pick up two tickets.
The show is for adults only. Great Neck Library cardholders and residents will get priority seating for the event.
