Illusionist and magician Cliff Hopkins is magical, mysterious and fascinating to watch. Hopkins will visit Indiana University East for the final 2008 Lively Arts Series performance held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 10 in Vivian Auditorium.

The event is free and open to the public.

Hopkins is a grand illusionist and comedy magic professional that astounds audiences by defying gravity and offering a unique and unbelievable performance. For more than a decade, he has entertained audiences with a fresh ensemble of illusions including slicing a woman in half while she’s standing, defied the laws of gravity and has made it snow indoors.

The Lively Arts Series is sponsored by Wayne Bank and Trust Co., Arts Place, the Palladium-Item and the Indiana Arts Commission.
