World Renowned Illusionist Jay Owenhouse to Appear at Lied Center December 19

Jay Owenhouse, a legendary escape artist and one of the most awarded illusionists in history, will appear in Lincoln for one night only in Dare to Believe!, an illusion spectacular at the Lied Center for Performing Arts (LiedCenter.org) on December 19 at 7:30 p.m. The show has been voted by audiences and critics alike “One of the Top 10 Live Shows in America.”

Owenhouse has amazed millions on TV in Masters of Illusions and Magic on the Edge. The Salt Lake Tribune calls him “Simply amazing!” and The Tokyo Times says the elaborate production is “Truly magic, a must-see!” Owenhouse welcomes you into his mysterious world of wonder and the impossible. You will experience a night of grand illusions with the most amazing magic in the world—Bengal tigers up close, dangerous escapes, and inspiring storytelling. Seeing the Owenhouse family live is an evening that will leave you breathless, reminding all that when a family works together, nothing is impossible!

Caught by the magic bug at age four, Owenhouse first performed as a freshman in high school. Since then, in the spirit of “giving it away to keep it,” he’s invented magic effects and designed illusions not only for his show, but also for other notable magicians.

The Lied Center of Performing Arts is Nebraska’s home for the arts. Located at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the Lied presents the world’s most iconic artists and major regional, national, and international performances that entertain and inspire audiences.
