Celebrate 15 Years of Family Fun Magic at Raue Center, 11/4

Get ready for a spooktacular show filled with tricks and treats for the whole family! Children and adults alike will be mystified, dazzled and bamboozled by tricks, illusions and more as "Nothin' Up My Sleeve" celebrates 15 years of family magic fun! Don't miss this magical variety show at 7 p.m. on November 4, 2017.

"It's a family-friendly magic variety show filled with tricks and treats you won't want to miss! 'Nothin' Up My Sleeve' is once again bringing you some of the finest magic, juggling and comedy entertainment, this time with a Halloween theme," says Producer, Glen Chelius. "Children of all ages are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes. (Nothing too scary!)"

"Nothin' Up My Sleeve" will feature performances by the finest magicians and entertainers in the Midwest, including a special guest appearance by iconic horror host, Svengoolie! Known for his role as the Horror Host of the Me TV Nation Network, Svengoolie has been popularizing rubber chickens, classic horror movies and the local suburb of Berwyn on the air since 1979.

Svengoolie has received eight regional Emmy Awards and in 2004, he was inducted into the prestigious Chicago Television Academy's Silver Circle for outstanding contributions to Chicago television. He has also been voted Favorite Horror Host five times at the Rondo Awards. In 2014, Chicago's Museum of Broadcast Communications opened a Svengoolie exhibit featuring his old coffin and other set pieces.

"Glenn and I never thought after 14 years of producing and performing, this would evolve into one of Illinois' longest running shows for family entertainment," says Producer, Nino Cruz. "What's even more rewarding, is how we've seen it become almost a family tradition in which little children who attended years ago are now grown adults who still attend the show!"

Proceeds of "Nothin' Up My Sleeve" will benefit Raue Center. Be sure to arrive early to experience all the tricks and treats! Doors open at 6 p.m. and the evening will commence with close-up magic in the lobby before moving to the mainstage.

Tickets start at $17 and can be purchased online at rauecenter.org or via the Box Office at 815.356.9212 or at 26 N. Williams Street in downtown Crystal Lake.
