Hailed by critics as "the most successful professional magician in Canada" and "a champion of magic," Ted Outerbridge and his brand new show, The Time Capsule Tour, is setting box office records on both sides of the Atlantic, and could to do the same at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on March 19 at 8 p.m.

Ted and his partner in illusion, Marion, will take what you know of magic to a whole new level and leave you absolutely awestruck.

Ted's magical obsession began very early, and at the young age of 18 he made his international debut--and front-page headlines--with performances in Bermuda. This early success, combined with single-minded focus and relentless determination, has made magic his lifelong career.

Throughout the 90-minute performance, audience members will witness countless illusions, including the magical couple's signature levitation illusion entitled Tango Flotante, whihc is sure to have you on the edge of your seat.

"It's a very interactive show," says Outerbridge, "The excitement for me is the audience's energy, plus their appreciation and reaction to what we're doing."

The show is built around a Time Capsule as the main attraction and on March 19, the capsule will be suspended in the air, containing the Outerbridges' predictions of what audience members would say they would put into a time capsule. When the locked time capsule chest is finally lowered to the ground and opened by a random audience member, the only question that remains is will the Outerbridges' predictions match?

"Teenagers love it, adults love it, kids love it," says Outerbridge. "What's really special about our show is that it's a family show. Five-year-olds love it because it's very visual and fast paced, while adults will appreciate the cerebral side of things and the intellectual approach we use."

The audience will see Marion Outerbridge being sawed in half and a seven-foot-tall, alarm-clock-shaped time machine. You won't want to miss a special guest appearance of Greta the Psychic Goose and dozens of other astonishing surprises that have tantalized imaginations around the globe.
