The human mind is one of the most fascinating and powerful tools in existence. Yet on occasion, we have the ability to trick our own minds and perceptions. Brendon Peel is someone who has dedicated the last 12 years of his life to bending people’s perceptions of reality in a humorous and entertaining way.
IMPOSSIBLE is a show filled with delightful deceptions, fantastic illusions, and mind-boggling mentalism that will leave you wondering if the impossible can, for a fleeting moment, be possible. Join Peel, as he weaves his magic in an entertaining display of unique psychological experiments, classic magic tricks, as well as feats of true impossibility.
