Saturday night was a night of mystery, intrigue and illusion as young master magician and mentalist, Luis Carreon, amazed with one mind boggling trick after another. Aptly named “Bending Minds and Bending Dreams”, The Amazing Luis uses a unique blend of original magic with fun scenarios to wow his audience and bring them to a world where the impossible is the norm.
Appearing in front of an intimate crowd at the Bughouse Theater (2054 W Irving Park Rd), Luis regularly used participants from the audience to assist in his feats of magic, making it an up close and personal experience to remember for a long time to come. Luis’s show flowed nicely with an element of humor incorporated into the act and each trick was more unexplainable than the last. The show also ends on a dramatic note when it appears Luis confronts death in the face by putting himself at the great risk of consuming a glass of Drain-O. Luis did survive to put on another show, but the trick was well-staged and evoked a good amount of anticipation from show-goers.
From card tricks and astonishing slight of hand to fascinating demonstrations of mentalism, Luis captured his audience from the show’s beginning and never let go. Winner of the Harlan Tarbell Close-Up Competition and 3rd place finisher in the Chicago Magic Competition, Luis is a genuine talent that has a bright future in front of him. Luis can also be seen as the head demonstrator at the legendary Magic Inc at 5082 N Lincoln.
