Award-winning comedian & magician, Chipper Lowell (Masters of Illusion) has been described as an "artistic cyclone of talent and comedy" by the press. The red head's best known "skills" can usually be found onstage, doling out witty remarks, presenting bizarre feats of original magic, ad-libbing with audience members who can't stop laughing, attempting pointless juggling stunts, pulling a seemingly endless barrage of unusual thing-a-ma-bobs and gadgets out of his prop trunks, and in short, creating a wonderful eventing of high-energy laughs and amazement for all those in attendance. (How's THAT for a run-on sentence? You're welcome!)
