Jeff Gordon and Darren Romeo make magic. |
At first blush it would seem that those interests are different. Jeff Gordon’s is to continue to drive it to many more NASCAR victories and Darren Romeo’s is to make it appear and disappear as part of a new illusion in his magic act. Their common interest however is using the car as a tool to provide excitement and entertainment for their fans.
In terms of the common interests and values that both Branson visitors and NASCAR fans have in common why not come up with an illusion that will entertain and promote both? In an age where it has become common place to see planes, helicopters, and animals vanish during a magic act this collaboration between Gordon and Romeo offers an illusion that combines the wonders of magic, with Darren’s great voice and audience appeal and the excitement and spectacle of NASCAR into a new exciting multi media illusion designed to do just that.
The high light of the new illusion entitled, “Two Men Living Their Dream,” is the appearance and disappearance of a full size replica of Gordon’s “fire and flames” No. 24 Dupont Chevrolet NASCAR race car during each performance. Yet that’s not all the illusion is. The choreography of that highlight with Romeo’s considerable talents in performing the illusion and a taped appearance by Jeff Gordon adds an inspirational element that is special. As one of the posters on the 1Branson.com said, “The car 24 illusion is great totally mind boggling.”
“Siegfried & Roy present Darren Romeo, The Voice of Magic” is appearing at the Welk Resort Theatre March 10 – Labor Day. For online information and ticket purchase click here or for further information or tickets call 800-590-0155 or 417-337-7469.
