Illusionists to reappear on Broadway

The magic super group The Illusionists will - poof! - reappear on Broadway this fall.

Producer Simon Painter says the new edition of their touring show will include three new magicians and ups "the ante in terms of danger". It will play the Neil Simon Theater from Nov 19-Jan 3.

The lineup will include four returning performers: "The Manipulator" Yu Ho-Jin, named the 2014 Magician of the Year; campy magician Jeff Hobson known as "The Trickster"; "The Anti-Conjurer" Dan Sperry, whose macabre show often features spinning blades; and Adam Trent, nicknamed "The Futurist", who focuses on technology-based illusions.
