PRLog -- Tuesday, October 22nd, at 7 p.m. the Thatcher-Young Mansion stage will become a battleground for area wizards competing for top honors in the third annual Cache Valley Conjurers Competion. This annual event attracts magicians from throughout northern Utah and southern Idaho to compete for cash prizes. 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes will be determined by a panel of judges and a "People's Choice" prize will be determined by a vote of ticket holders. Performers are limited to 7 minute performances so that a new performer can be showcased every ten minutes. Two-time champion Richard Cannon of Logan will be defending his title against all comers. Also competing will be Al Lampkin, Craig Campbell, Lefty Caress and "The Great Dane", all from Salt Lake City, Abracadan from Preston, Idaho, Jason Porter of Hyrum, Shawn Taylor of Smithfield and Steven Viator of Logan, among others. Judging the competition this year will be Professor Charlie Huenemann of Utah State University's Department of Philosophy, Richie Call of USU's Theater Department, James Kreutzberg, executive director of the Cache Valley Center for the Arts, and Jess Cone, President of the Salt Lake City Ring of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. Deceptionist Richard Hatch of the Hatch Academy will serve as host and Master of Ceremonies of the event, performing a few of his specialities during the judging period. "This is always a fun event," say Hatch. "Seasoned professionals, who have appeared on the Tonight Show, compete against talented tyros; 81 year-olds against 18 year-olds, and the styles range from comedy magic to mentalism. Anything can happen, and usually does!"
Tickets are just $10. Seating limited to just 56. The historic 1878 Thatcher-Young Mansion is part of the Bullen Center in downtown Logan and is located at 35 W 100 S. For more information, or to compete, call 435-932-0017. Tickets are available online at the Hatch Academy website:
