It's magic; captivating, amazing illusion. And it is what Bob Fellows does best. Billed as America's master illusionist. Fellows is a sleight-of-hand artist, an escape artist, a mime and mentalist. and an all-around entertainer. On October 21. Bob Fellows brought illusion to the University Center's Program Banquet Room. Fellows performed card tricks, made rubber balls appear and disappear, and experimented with ESP. He sawed a man in half, and made a woman rise high into the air in a puff of smoke. In several of his illusions, he called for audience volunteers. One volunteer taped Fellows’ thumbs together. Fellows then caught metal hoops over his thumbs and down his left arm. without undoing the tape. When five volunteers tied him to a chair with 100 feet of boat rope. Fellows escaped in 1 minute. 44 seconds. Later he was locked in a six-foot-tall box. His assistants then slid seven steel blades into it. The blades were removed, the box unlocked; there stood Fellows. upside-down, and in a different costume. Based in Los Angeles. Fellows has performed in theatres, nightclubs, universities, and industrial shows throughout the United States. He has taught college courses in “The Art of Illusion. and has received awards at magicians conventions. —Laura Sternweis 77
