Having your mind blown is quite the experience if I do say so myself. Wayne Hoffman accomplished this feat this past week, and I’m sure I’m not the only still thinking “how did he fill that soda can back up?!” because mainly if we could do that, we’d have refills for life!

The show for the freshman was a fun, new experience, kept them guess at what was coming (unless they talked to upperclassman beforehand) and had a great time attending the show. Although many mentalists and magicians are generally straightforward in their tricks, Hoffman was upbeat, energetic, and just had fun with what he did; you could tell he was enjoying the show along with the audience.

A majority of those in attendance had a good time, while the select few that didn’t stated that they’d seen some “crazier stuff” in their lifetime. In fact, Hoffman has been coming to Ashland for a few years now and he consistently draws in huge crowds because everyone from the prior year was still amazed from his previous show!

For the upperclassman, I can’t say you missed much as if you’ve already seen the tricks performed, but if you were a freshman not in attendance you definitely missed out. From reading people’s minds to joining three rings together then pulling them apart with no harm, to even “turning back time” the show altogether was a very enjoyable experience. Wayne Hoffman will have you leaving his show pondering, “what just happened?” for quite some time, with no answer in sight.
