    Use your illusion

    Why see one magic act, when you can see an Avengers-style collection of great illusionists?

    Champions of Magic include Hollie England, Fernando Velasco, Young & Strange and Alex McAleer

    Which brings us to the Champions of Magic that perform Friday and Saturday at Foxwoods, with the show taking place all over the Grand Cedar Showroom.

    Fernando Velasco performs during a Champions of Magic show.

    You’ll get a wide range of tricks by these international performers, from interactive magic to an attempted escape from a Houdini-like water cell.

    On the bill:

    - Young & Strange, who have brought their comedy illusion act to London’s West End and to the internet, where their video content has been viewed more than 50 million times.

    - Alex McAleer, who seems to read people’s thoughts

    - Hollie England, who was on “America’s Got Talent” and “Showtime at the Apollo.”

    - Fernando Velasco, who, at age 20, became the youngest person to perform the Houdini Water Torture Cell illusion.

    Champions of Magic, 8 p.m. Fri. and 7 p.m. Sat., Great Cedar Showroom, Foxwoods; $35-$70; foxwoods.com.
