Monday Dinner Entertainment & Tuesday Emcee: Craig Karges
Experience the Extraordinary
Craig Karges combines the art of magic with the science of psychology and the power of intuition to demonstrate how your brain and your mind can work together to accomplish the extraordinary. Karges delivers a remarkable interactive experience that challenges you to broaden your perceptions of intuition, creativity, decision making and memory to help you reach your full potential.
Karges says that he does not possess supernatural powers, nor does he claim to perform as a psychic or a magician. While he acknowledges that he is an entertainer and that showmanship plays a role in what he does, he insists that he does not prearrange anything with members of the audience. Skeptical? He offers $100,000, payable to charity, if anyone can prove he uses stooges or confederates from the audience to accomplish his demonstrations.
