06880.com – I expected to be impressed, amazed, even awed, at magician/mentalist Jason Bird’s intimate “Parlor of Impossibilities” Sunday at the Delamar Westport.
I did not expect to have the most mysterious, “magical” night of my life.
His card tricks were astonishing, sure. I’m still reeling from some of them.
But the evening — one of his first 2 “residences” at the hotel, in a small room decorating like a private parlor of old — was so much more.
From opening a sealed box with lotto tickets that matched exactly 6 random numbers chosen by audience members, to showing a watch that matched precisely the time of birth of another guest, Jason’s show was absolutely mind-blowing.
Not to mention his whole don’t-try-this-at-home razor swallowing trick. (The 5 blades emerged — from his unbloodied mouth — arranged neatly on a string of floss.)
“Parlor of Impossibilities” has to be seen to be believed. (Though 2 days later, I still can’t believe what I saw.)
Fortunately, you can. Jason returns to the Delamar November 22 and December 13. There are 2 shows each day, at 4 and 7 p.m.
