You may have heard someone say:
- “IF YOU’RE NOT MOVING FORWARD, YOU’RE MOVING BACKWARDS”
- “GOOD IS THE ENEMY OF GREAT”
These two quotes are why Jason Hudy, the star of “Illusionation” has built such an incredibly successful career over the past 20 plus years. This same philosophy is why “Illusionation…..the Magic of Jason Hudy,” entering its third season at the Mountain of Entertainment Theater, is arguably the hottest magic show to ever be seen on the Pigeon Forge Parkway.
Jason firmly believes it’s not enough just to keep doing the same thing you’ve been doing. He is on a continual quest to not only better himself personally as a magician and a performer, but to also take his show to a level that has never been seen before in the Smoky Mountains.
Even if you have seen Illusionation in the past couple of years, Jason has added new illusions that are so impressive, they alone are worth the price of admission.
This season, reviews are already praising Jason as an incredible magician with grand illusions, but also equally as impressive with his mastery of close-up magic as well.
Families absolutely rave about this shows ability to entertain everyone, from the youngest of toddlers, to the teenagers, parents, grandparents and even great grandparents as well.
We’re also extremely excited about a new face you’ll be seeing on stage during “Illusionation” this season.
If you’ve seen “Array Variety Show” you’ve seen the extremely talented team of Semyon Gruzdev and his partner Leann Farley, better known as “Duo Artis.” During “Array” they can be seen performing breathtaking aerial routines, and a baffling quick-change act. Semyon even performs a stunning cyr-wheel routine, which you may need to Google if that leaves you scratching your head.
This year, in addition to “Array,” Semyon has joined the “Illusionation” team as well, and surprisingly, has more than a few mind-boggling tricks up his sleeve.
Aside from performing very impressive illusions of his own, Semyon has a natural comedic timing that our guests find endearing, and the laughter he provides throughout the show completes the total package of what you would hope to experience in a family-friendly show of this nature.
