After-Dinner Entertainment
Bob Higa presents an outstanding after-dinner program that makes for an unusual and unforgettable audience experience. Opening with dazzling magic accompanied by dynamic music, this is magic in its purest form. Bob Higa makes objects appear, disappear, and transform right before your eyes in this exciting and dramatic performance. The next segment focuses on your message, featuring laughter and audience participation. Higa uses his business knowledge and presentation wizardry to weave in the client’s own messages regarding change, teamwork, partnership and challenges. Higa’s finale is a replication of Houdini’s famous escape “Metamorphosis.” Here, two volunteers inspect a wooden packing crate. Higa’s assistant is then tied in a bag and locked inside the crate. The crate is enveloped by a canvas cover and secured with 8 feet of rope. Instantly, Higa and his assistant are magically transposed.
