A large and enthusiastic crowd welcomed ‘Magician to the World’ Gordon Russ to the Leanna Hicks Public Library in Inkster last Saturday.Russ and his comedy magic show featuring his trusty sidekick, George the Raccoon, entertained the audience with routines perfected in performances in China, England, Israel and Australia. Several youngsters remembered their “Pick me” signs hoping to be called on stage to help Russ with his illusions.
A master at audience involvement, Russ “invents” magic on the spot, using ordinary items. He couples this with an array of tried-and-true tricks of the trade.”Magic is serious business, but the main idea is fun. I want everybody smiling and saying, 'How'd he do that?'” Russ said in a prepared statement.
