RAY ANDERSON: Magical Follies

A world-class illusionist and the choreographer & artistic director of Austin’s long-running musical/comedy review Esther’s Follies. Ray is the featured performer in this theatrical juggernaut blending illusion, comedy, and audience participation into one of the most carefully constructed performances in the magic world today. There isn't a dull moment when Ray is onstage. Performing immaculate and inventive large-scale illusions, or parodying the genre, his talent shines as a Follies treasure. The Academy of Magical Arts recently recognized Ray with a prestigious Performing Fellowship. Ray shares stories of what he has seen through the picture window behind him on stage and how he develops his routines so effectively to music.
