World-renowned Magician and Former Douglas Resident Dan
Garrett to Perform at SGC
On Wednesday, Aug. 15, renowned magician Dan Garrett, who grew up in
Douglas, will return to town for a one-time only performance at South
Georgia College. The show will take place at 8 p.m. inside Peterson Hall’s
McGouirk Auditorium. Admission is free and the public is invited to attend.
Garrett’s professional career spans over three decades and his influence has
been felt on the worldwide magic scene. He is a performer, inventor, author
and lecturer — an acknowledged expert in the field of magic. As a teacher,
Dan’s lessons, lectures and magic creations have had a direct influence on
such notable individuals as Jeff Justice, Rudy Coby, Jerry Camaro, Guy
Hollingworth, and David Copperfield. Garrett has performed and lectured in
over 12 countries, has released instructional videotapes in English and
French, has published hundreds of books, manuscripts and magazine articles
in over six languages. Dan Garrett’s name appears on thousands of
magic-related Web sites. He has received dozens of awards and accolades in
each decade since the 1970s. As such, there are very few serious followers
of the world of magic who haven’t heard of Dan Garrett.
The performance at SGC serves two purposes – it is the college’s first
cultural event of the year and it is also a part of the campus-wide Week of
Welcome program, a series of activities held throughout the week that
celebrate the beginning of fall semester. This is an opportunity to enjoy a
world-class magic show locally and free of charge. You will not be
disappointed.
