In partnership with Mills Entertainment, Mesa Arts Center presents Camera Tricks, an innovative and interactive virtual magic experience for at-home audiences. Magician comedian Ben Seidman brings his unique blend of psychological magic, clever comedy, and an artful sleight of hand to Mesa Arts Center audiences in six performances June 9 through 14 at 7 p.m. Passes to access this live streaming event are $37.50 (plus applicable service fees) per device and go on sale June 4 at noon at http://www.mesaartscenter.com.

After three seasons consulting on A&E’s Mindfreak, while designing illusions full-time for Criss Angel, he became the first and only person in history to be named Resident Magician at Mandalay Bay, Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Honored as Entertainer of the Year for Princess Cruises, Ben Seidman is one of today’s hottest magic acts.

Following an appearance on Penn & Teller’s Fool Us and a guest-starring role on Netflix’s Brainchild, simply put, Ben Seidman is on fire. Well, not literally, of course.

The show is called Camera Tricks because only one of his incredible feats of magic is done through trick photography and it is up to the audience to figure out which one. Although they all look incredible, we assure you that you will be surprised when the answer is revealed!

Creative, playful, and fully interactive, Seidman connects at-home fans with awe-inspiring magic, sparking laughter and fun for the whole family. Camera Tricks is live interactive virtual magic at its best. Be a part of this one-of-a-kind, uniquely memorable magic experience that keeps audiences guessing.
