Lowdown: Free Rock ’n’ Roll Magic in Blue Lake
Do you believe in magic? Eh. I think at this point the combination of the Internet and those Magic’s Biggest Secrets Revealed shows — remember that masked buzzkill? — have sucked any supernatural cred from magician schtick. But do you believe in rock and roll? Can music save your mortal soul? Yes, of course.
Tonight for free at Blue Lake Casino, hard rock magician Sammy Cortino will present his brand of slight of hand turned up to 11. What the hell does that even mean? Marvel below as Cortino frees himself from a straight jacket in time to a cover of The Doors’ “Back Door Man.” Oh yes.
Other somewhat less magical offerings in your Lowdown listings below.
