May 20, 2011 - PRLog -- World Champion Sleight-of-Hand Magician Paul Gertner would like your help to find his Lost Fingers when he brings his one-man show Ten Fingers, A Play of Magic to the Piccolo Spoleto Festival.  Starting June 1st twenty-five realistic looking Fingers (with a red reminder string tied around them) will be secretly planted at random locations around Charleston and Mt. Pleasant.  If you find a Lost Finger, as the attached tag explains, “You just Won a Free Ticket!” to a performance of Ten Fingers, A Play of Magic at The Village Playhouse.

For clues to where the 25 Fingers are hidden go to Twitter and follow TenFingersMagic.
Clues directing you to the locations of the Hidden Fingers will be Tweeted at random times throughout the day.  We will also Tweet when a Finger has been found and the Free Ticket has been claimed. Paul will do eight performances at the Village Playhouse June 4th through the 12th during Piccolo Spoleto.

Paul Gertner: Ten Fingers, A Play of Magic, is an amazing journey into the twisted inner workings of a magician’s mind.  In this 80-minute show Paul shares a meaningful, magical world - the one he discovered as an apprentice and the one he created as an artist.
Finding his passion for magic as a ten-year old practicing card tricks hidden in dusty library books, he goes on to become one of the leading sleight-of-hand magicians in the world - and he takes the entire audience along for the ride.  During the show Paul even teaches the entire audience how to perform a magic trick, which they all take home as a souvenir.  Ten Fingers is a one of a kind magic show designed for adults and families with children 8 or older.

Paul Gertner is recognized as one of the leading sleight-of-hand magicians in the world today.  He has won numerous First Place World Champion titles in magic competitions all over the world and has been named the Close-Up Magician of the Year from the Magic Castle in Hollywood twice.  He has performed in 25 different countries and performed on many television shows including multiple appearances as a guest on The Tonight Show on NBC.  His Pittsburgh debut of Ten Fingers was one of the fastest selling plays in City Theatre’s history, selling out a six-week run in less than three days.  Tickets to recent performances at the Axis Theater in New York City sold out in less than 24 hours.  Get your tickets before they all… Disappear!
