TEEN MAGICIAN RUNS
AWAY TO THE CIRCUS ...
YOUNG Ipswich magician Jeffro Bennett
has run away to the circus.
The high school student turned escape
artist first made headlines close to a
year ago when he escaped a maximum
security straight jacket while blindfolded
under water on the 90th anniversary of
illusionist Harry Houdini's death.
A lot has changed for the young
magician since his first deck of cards
as he prepares to witness Mr Boyd
levitate a woman as part of series of
dramatic illusions.
Now he's left the confines of school and
run away to join Michael Boyd's Circus of
Illusion - at least for the school holidays. The Thagoona teen has been
learning the art of magic for more
than five years and credits his early
successes to hours dedicated to
practising and a few seasoned magic
professionals as mentors.
He'll spend two weeks assisting the
veteran magician, developing the skills
he's been perfecting since he got his first
magic kit as a child. See more at: https://www.qt.com.au/
