ELLINWOOD — Star of Hope presents  illusionist in Great Bend. Reza has taken the art of illusion to a new level, delivering his rock concert style magic show to audiences across the country.
Don’t expect rabbits out of hats. Reza’s current tour transports upwards of 15,000 lbs. of lighting, sound, staging and some of the most incredible magic in existence today.
Reza has garnered a loyal fan base with his passion for creating cutting-edge grand-scale illusions. To date, Reza has been featured on television and radio shows broadcasting in 31 countries around the world, with sold out shows from Denver to New York, and Orlando to Louisiana. At 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 10 at the Crest Theater, Great Bend will experience the grand scale illusion  with an interactive blend of Reza’s signature brand of illusion.
Reza has made his presence felt in the world of illusion since a very young age. His focus in the art began at the early age of seven after being inspired by a magic show in his hometown of Brookings, S.D.
By the age of 14, Reza was landing significant gigs performing for resorts and large corporations across the Midwest. On his 15th birthday, Reza left his hometown to perform a six week run in Branson, Mo., the live entertainment capitol of the world. The eighteen-show-a-week schedule allowed Reza to hone his gift for entertaining.
After Branson, one opportunity led to the next and as the doors began to open, Reza’s style took on a fresh and cutting edge feel. With a largely original show and an engaging stage presence, Reza began selling out theatres as the entertainment world took notice.
Fast forward more than a decade later. The once youth magician is today one of the fastest rising stars in the industry, with his mind set on changing the world’s perception of magic. Reza is intriguing, engaging, and captivating. He has the ability to connect with his audiences and let them feel his magic on a personal level. He isn’t just a magician. He is an entertainer.
This event is made possible by Star of Hope, an organization that equips children across the world with knowledge, physical well-being, spiritual growth and social skills through educational programs and local and international partnerships. SOH will receive a portion of the proceeds and sales of items they bring.
