The nonprofit Children’s Cancer Research Group is counting on a bit of magic to help find a cure for pediatric cancer.
To raise funds for the research group, the cancer advocacy organization, 1Voice Foundation, will host A Magic Cure Benefit featuring international illusionist Reynold Alexander at The Ritz Ybor on Saturday, March 1.
Alexander has performed his mind-boggling illusions in more than 20 countries, capturing the imaginations of magic aficionados with his re-enactment of Harry Houdini’s Water Torture Cell in which he is handcuffed and locked upside down in a water tank.
