Jay Owenhouse: The Authentic Illusionist

Straightjackets and tigers and magic, oh my! Veteran illusionist Jay Owenhouse is returning to Spokane, bringing with him his eclectic act full of Houdini-esque escapes and live tiger performances. Owenhouse has been practicing magic for almost 30 years, and his current show has been critically acclaimed throughout its tour across the U.S. and Asia. Based in Bozeman, Montana, Owenhouse goes by the nickname “The Authentic Illusionist” and claims to draw influence from the stunts performed by Harry Houdini. Some of his stunts include locking himself in a straightjacket suspended upside down above spiked jaws that close after two minutes and trapping himself in a padlocked tank of water.
