Since his YouTube video went viral (over 7 million views in 5 days) on \u201cPenn &amp; Teller: Fool Us,\u201d rising star Shin has been redefining the way close-up magic is presented. Within the span of a few years, the classically trained concert pianist transitioned from winning major youth magic awards (the 2010 World Teen Close-Up Magic Champion in Las Vegas) to becoming a professional magician and being crowned the FISM World Champion in Card Magic (2015 Magic Olympics). Respected for his skill &amp; poetic performance by esteemed magicians and becoming an inspiration to many young magicians, Shin is also a creative innovator of different sleight of hand techniques. Be prepared to witness Shin Lim\u2019s unique and powerful sleight of hand artistry.<\/p>\n<p>DARCY OAKE \u2013 \u201cThe Grand Illusionist\u201d<br \/>\nAs a performance artist and modern interpreter of the art of illusion, Darcy Oake transports audiences with his charm, his sleight of hand and logic-defying illusions. In 2014, Darcy Oake had his breakout appearance before 200 million viewers on \u201cBritain\u2019s Got Talent\u201d where Simon Cowell declared, \u201cWe are witnessing the birth of a star\u201d. Darcy went on to make a guest appearance on \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent\u201d and was further honored to be a part of Queen Elizabeth\u2019s 90th birthday celebration where he performed before the Royal Family at a private dinner. Darcy has won the Pacific Rim Professional Stage Challenge and the coveted People\u2019s Choice Gold Medal Award. He has headlined The Magic Castle in Hollywood, his own national tour of Canada and continues to captivate audiences from Las Vegas to New York, Europe, and Asia. This past year Darcy headlined 10 shows at the world famous Calgary Stampede in his home country of Canada, in front of audiences over 20,000 per night. Taking the rich heritage of the magic culture, Darcy Oake puts a fresh, young and exciting twist on the profession to the delight of audiences worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>ADAM TRENT \u2013 \u201cThe Futurist\u201d<br \/>\nAdam Trent shatters stereotypes and brings a new generation of magic to fans fusing technology, illusions, dancing and comedy with classic techniques. Adam looks to change people\u2019s perception of magicians with his refreshing approach to magic; entertainment first and tricks second. He doesn\u2019t want people to remember \u201ctricks\u201d as much as the laughs and memories made with the performance. He has mesmerized live audiences around the globe, in person and as a featured guest on \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent,\u201d \u201cThe Today Show,\u201d \u201cEllen,\u201d \u201cThe Rachael Ray Show,\u201d and Disney Channel among countless other TV appearances. The 31-year-old also stars in his own recently launched 10 episode TV series \u201cThe Road Trick\u201d on Netflix. Adam doesn\u2019t remember a time in his life when he wasn\u2019t performing, starting with birthday party shows at age 9 and bigger events when he was 13. At age 14, he started street performances which he says \u201cwas the most amazing and brutal training a performer could ever have.\u201d Through this experience, he discovered an audience\u2019s true attention span and when he was 18, went to a Los Angeles college for a degree in finance and entertainment marketing. \u201cApart from learning that a tiger would be tax-deductible, I got a crash course in LA\u2019s music and comedy scene. I realized that the most important element in a show is the performer\u2019s connection to the audience, and without that even amazing skill can fall as flat as a bad boy band.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>COLIN CLOUD \u2013 \u201cThe Deductionist\u201d<br \/>\nLook at your hands. Your nails. The heels of your shoes. What do you see? Nothing? Imagine someone who could look at those details and see everything. Everything. Only, you don\u2019t have to imagine. Because this is precisely what Colin Cloud does. He\u2019ll know what you\u2019ve had for lunch, where you\u2019ve been that day, what you do for a living, the car you drive, even your PIN code. He\u2019ll read you like a book. He left ITV\u2019s Jonathan Ross speechless (surely a first!). Mind reader and spoon-bender Uri Geller described him as \u201cone of the greatest thought readers of all time.\u201d The media have described him as the real-life Sherlock and witnesses don\u2019t say much as they\u2019re usually left speechless. Cloud has performed for professional sceptics like Penn and Teller and the hard-to-please Simon Cowell and has certainly left people convinced that he does indeed have mystical skills of reading minds and influencing outcomes. In 2014, he became the runaway success of the Edinburgh Comedy Festival Fringe with 23 sold-out performances and multiple 5 star reviews. On top of this, his other show received the \u2018Skinny Magazine \u2013 Talk of the Town\u2019 award, which was the first time it had ever been awarded. Colin is a forensic scientist who mixes mind magic and brain science with his love of Arthur Conan Doyle\u2019s works, resulting in him being described as the closest thing in the universe to the real-life Sherlock Holmes. Cloud will deduce everything about you, then he\u2019ll be kind enough to explain how he did it. You\u2019ll understand why he\u2019s never lost a game of poker, learn how to discover the phone number of anyone you like, recall information from the recesses of your mind and he will even share with you the ability to connect with people on a deeper and more meaningful level than you\u2019ve ever experienced before.<\/p>\n<p>CHLO\u00c9 CRAWFORD \u2013 \u201cThe Sorceress\u201d<br \/>\nChlo\u00e9 Louise Crawford, born in Portsmouth, England, is a magician &amp; international model. She has performed all over Europe and has been featured in global magazines such as Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. In 2015, she became the first female magician to be successful on the hit TV show \u201cBritain\u2019s Got Talent,\u201d paving the way for other women in her field. Since then, she has toured with the revolutionary theatrical experience \u2018The Supernaturalists\u2019. The unprecedented world-class cast included a variety of magicians from around the globe. Chlo\u00e9 then went on to debut in the multi-million dollar Cirque Du Soleil production of Criss Angel MindFreak LIVE, at the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>LIGHT BALANCE<br \/>\nHailing from Dnipro City, Ukraine, Light Balance is a hi-tech neon and LED dance group comprised of talented young dancers, designers, programmers and choreographers.
