Mentalist Craig Karges performs in a packed Reid Ballroom on Tuesday, Sept. 18. Karges amazed students with illusions such as a table-lifting routine and several variations on mind-reading. Named Entertainer of the Year six times by the National Association for Campus Activities, Karges offers “$100,000, payable to charity, if anyone can prove he uses stooges, confederates from the audience or hidden assistants to accomplish his demonstrations,” according to craigkarges.com/biography.html.
