The Hill Arts

By the time the lights dim at The Hill Arts, something unusual settles over the room. It isn't the usual pre-show buzz or the quiet focus of a theater audience. It's curiosity with an edge—the kind that makes people lean forward without realizing it. That's exactly where Dr. Steve Taubman wants you.
Join Dr. Steve Taubman for Mind Magic: A Night of Laughter and Astonishment&nbsp;a high-energy evening of world-class mentalism, audience participation, and side-splitting comedy that will leave you laughing, amazed, and questioning what's possible.
"This is unlike any show you've seen," says Taubman. "It's not defined by a single label, but rather draws on a lifetime of work designed to create not just laughter and astonishment, but a deeper understanding of how our minds work and how we can connect more meaningfully with ourselves, each other, and the world around us."
From the very first moments, Taubman creates a personal, almost conspiratorial connection with the audience. He's funny, disarming, and completely present. The laughter comes easily, but beneath the comedy and the impossible is an invitation to see your own perceptions in an entirely new way.
Audience participation is at the heart of Mind Magic, and no two performances are ever the same. Taubman's favorite audience reaction?
"I love the 'No way!' screams from the audience, but probably the funniest was when someone got up and said, 'You're a witch!' Luckily he was smiling when he said it."
This isn't just a show you watch, it's one you experience. You'll become part of the mystery, the laughter, and the astonishment. You'll leave entertained, inspired, and wondering just how much your own mind is capable of.
"Dr. Steve is hilarious and astonishing."&nbsp; - John Cleese, Monty Python
Don't miss this unforgettable evening of laughter, wonder, and mind-bending surprises at The Hill Arts.
