Band Of Magicians
Band of Magicians is a touring illusion show featuring a group of magicians billed as “The World’s First Magic Supergroup”. The original group featured magicians James Galea, Justin Flom, Justin Willman, and Nate Staniforth. The current group includes James Galea, Stuart MacLeod, Brett Loudermilk, and Joel Ward.

The Band of Magicians was conceived as a way to perform illusions that individual performers couldn't get away with alone. Galea has said, "What we've done with this is create brand new illusions for the show that could not be done by anyone else. Simply for the fact that it takes four professional magicians to be able to misd ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
