Dan White, Justin Willman, Helder Guimaraes and Jason Suran are leading the format with a slew of stars tuning in from home.
Magicians and mentalists are having a moment.
As live events got crushed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the business of magic may not have seemed the easiest to transition to a virtual space because part of the thrill of having one’s eyes deceived is being as close to the action as possible. But several of the industry’s stars have emerged to prove it can be done, and done successfully.
Reconnected, an unforgettable evening of psychological astonishments by acclaimed mentalist, Jason Suran, has announced that virtual performances have been extended by popular demand. Since opening in OCTOBER, 2020, the hit show has been a sell out and now has been extended through JULY 23, 2021. Produced by Carl Moellenberg, Adam Rei Siegel and Alan Cumming, Reconnected is held every Friday night entirely on Zoom.

Jason Suran stands behind three paper bags. Randomly concealed in one is a large, sharp metal spike. He slowly waves his hand across the top of the bags, waiting for an audience member who has no idea where the spike is to call stop. When she does, his hand instantly obliges. He asks if she’s
sure. She responds with a halting yes. And so Jason Suran plunges his palm down on the bag which crumples with a loud pop. The audience collectively gasps and heaves a sigh of relief. The fact that is all happening over Zoom makes it all the more amazing.
