Justin Long stars in Branson's new Imaginary Theatre and Magic
Parlor, opening in the
spring of 2006. The moment you and your companions come
through the door is when the action begins. Each person
receives a secret mystery key. Watch out when you see what happens
to someone in the group during the picture-taking session--you might
appear in the show video!
Then you move into the mystifying den where more surprises are in
store and also leaves a challenge - which of the many keyholes is
the right fit for the magic key that opens the bookcase and hidden
passage to the dessert parlor? Fun abounds in the dessert
parlor where treats include a variety of coffees, smoothies and
desserts. Music is provided by an inexplicable, dusty old piano
named "Theodora." You and yours will learn the Legend of Theodora,
who will play just about every song you can ask for. Assiduous
waiters sing along and puzzlingly pour drinks into floating glasses
while the surroundings may change in but a moment.
The enchanting encounter marches on when worldwide renown,
award-winning illusionist Justin Flom swiftly appears and welcomes
guests into his magic library where the compelling show "happens all
around you." Justin disappears and reappears again in improbable
places along with your typical exploding confetti cannons,
fast-paced, mystifying illusions, puzzling close-up magic and "snow"
that covers everything.
Show-goers will want to come back again and again to the
magic parlor nestled away on the second floor of one of
Branson's buildings, the Majestic Steakhouse. Call (888)
422-3566.
Illusionist Justin Flom has been performing the art of
illusion for over 17 years. His award winning magic has been
featured for audiences all around the U.S. as well as in 8 different
countries. His magic has been featured numerous times on television
in the states, as well as on national television in the country of
Peru. The president of the Fellowship of Christian Magicians, Steve
Varro, calls him "the next David Copperfield." Justin Flom is
quickly becoming the new face of magic.
Justin has a passion for the art of illusion, however, he also has a
real passion for evangelism through creative means. He uses magic
and illusion to catch people's eyes, so they listen with their ears,
so God can touch their heart. Thousands have heard the message of
the Gospel through Justin's presentations. God has worked through
Justin and his illustrations and He continues to do so.
Born into a family of entertainers, he started by performing with
his parents on stage. However, he'll tell you that he "can't
remember most of that time because much of it was spent in trunks
and dark boxes." From the age of two Justin did his share of
illusions until high school, when he decided he wanted to make a
career out of entertaining others. Since high school Justin has
become a full-time professional illusionist and continues to share
God's Word through the art of illusion.
April has been performing professionally in
Branson for 9 years and
loving every moment of it. She has done 14 shows varying in
style-from "Ed McMahon and Friends," Silver Dollar City shows,
Dino's Christmas Extravaganza and many more. Singing since she could
talk and dancing since the age of 3, April loves using her talents
to glorify God and is so very glad that He has blessed her with such
abundant opportunities to enjoy. April has loved magic and being
dramatic since a very young age, always trying to impress her
audiences with those not-so-quick slight of hand, now she is a part
of making the magic happen (with someone who actually does it
right).
In 2002 Justin was exploring deep in the forests of the Orient when
he came across a duck, but not just any duck. This particular bird
was busying himself entertaining other animals in the forest by
performing difficult magic tricks. When Justin stumbled on him he
was performing the Chinese Linking Rings. He's a Chinese Peking duck
so it only made sense. Justin immediately connected with our
feathered friend, named him Juan, and brought him back to Branson,
MO to feature him in an illusion show.
Okay, okay...none of the above is true. But Juan is a very
talented duck who has been with the show since 2003. Justin really
does keep Juan as a pet and has raised him since he was born. Some
say he spoils Juan too much…I guess he's a lucky duck.
