Ted and Marion don’t just play the spotlight, they come to life in it – and then share it with audience members, inviting them to experience the magic up close and personal on stage. Whether it’s Ted changing places with Marion in a split second, reading people’s minds, or traveling back in time in a giant alarm clock, the Outerbridges hold their audiences spellbound. Now, Edmonton and area magic-lovers have the opportunity to experience Magical Moments in Time at Horizon Stage in Spruce Grove on Saturday, February 20 and Sunday, February 21.
