Mentor prepares to host a night of humor and illusion as comedy magician Trent James brings his act to the Mentor Community Recreation Center on April 25. With the magic dazzling audiences on college campuses and luxury cruise ships, James promises a casual but captivating performance from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. The City of Mentor promises an event that will entertain all ages, and with tickets priced at a mere $5.00 — free for children two and under — it's a steal for an evening's entertainment.
James, known for his modern take on magic, avoids the clichéd dramatics of yesteryear's magicians. Instead, his performances boast a combination of sleight of hand, humor, and engaging audience participation. Having headlined at notable venues such as the Chicago Magic Lounge and the Magic Castle in Hollywood, James brings a storied track record to the small Ohio town. Known from the magic competition circuit, where he snagged the Milbourne Christopher Award among over a dozen honors, his recognition is extensive, as noted by the City of Mentor's official announcement.
For those interested in catching this blend of comedy and magic, tickets can be secured in several ways: in-person, online, or by phoning ahead. Mentor's Community Recreation Center, located at 6000 Heisley Road, lays the stage for what's being billed as an intimate connection-driven performance. Those looking for more information can visit the center's website or get ready for an experience where pulling rabbits out of hats is too passé for a magician like James.
Remember, save the date: Friday, April 25, 2025, and you wouldn't want to miss seeing the youngest recipient of The Milbourne Christopher Award live. The performance begins at 7:00 PM, but the magic, as parents well know, always starts a little earlier when trying to find parking and seats. Wrap up your plans for family-friendly fun and let Trent James enchant your Friday night with a performance that promises, as the city affirms, "humor, audience participation and mind-boggling magic."
