Race to Witch Mountain is a science fiction adventure film that was released in 2009. It is a remake of the 1975 film Escape to Witch Mountain. The movie tells the story of two alien siblings, Sara and Seth, who have crash-landed on Earth and are trying to reach their spaceship on Witch Mountain. The film follows the siblings as they are pursued by various government officials and a ruthless billionaire who wants to capture them. Along the way, they meet a taxi driver named Jack Bruno, who reluctantly helps them on their journey. Together, they must evade their pursuers and make it to Witch Mountain before time runs out.
This being the start of The Memorial Day weekend, the crowd was not near what I had anticipated for a press opening. Those of us who made the trek had a delightful experience. I know that a little south of where we were the Mets were making the Cubs hopes disappear while at the same time, Dr. Hass was explaining how magic creates hope and life as well as transformation, through his stories about magical greats ( Houdini of course) and did some amazing tricks having the audience participate.

“Magical Life : a magical tour of life, hope and transformation”
[rating=5] Chicago is a magical city. Not just for our history, our restaurants and our culture, but for its pure magic. We are home to Dennis Watkins, Dr. Ricardo Rosenkranz and a host of magicians that appear every night at the Chicago Magic Lounge, BUT now there is a new venue for magic. The old Morse Theater in Rogers Park has now become The Rhapsody Theater Chicago and claims to offer “the most magical night out!”. I have been to every magic show in and around the city as I am fascinated by the skill and artistry of these amazing performers.
Tonight, Jane and I were honored to visit this new venue and watch the amazing Dr. Larry Hass do his thing. Dr. Hass is not only a magician but is indeed the Dean of McBrides Magic and Mystery School in Las Vegas. People always ask where do all these magicians come from- now we know! Based on what we saw tonight, this makes sense.

As you can see by the picture, Jane participated in one of the first illusions ( I won’t call them tricks, as they are not). In this one, a card was placed on her palm. She thought of a card and as he moved the deck to eliminate cards, and got down to one, it was the card that she had said. Later he did an illusion where everyone in the audience opened up an envelope. The envelope had 7 playing cards, all different. We also had a marker and each of us selected one of these cards to draw on. He then had us turn the cards over and cut and shuffle as he instructed us. We fanned out the cards ( not being able to see the face cards) and one by one, discard a card. With all the mixing and shuffling, we all worked our way til we had one card left, and guess what? It was the one we had written on.
In the second half of the performance he spoke about Houdini and then with the aid of two members of the audience was tied up, legs and hands, and yes, within seconds was untied. Dr. Hass also did some other illusions where we all were part of the magic that took place. Being involved certainly added to the wonder and awe of the evening.
“Magical Life” will continue thru June 23rd with performances as follows:

Reviews for "Stay on Your Toes with the High-Octane Action in 'Race to Witch Mountain' Trailer"
1. Sarah - 2 stars
I have to say, "Race to Witch Mountain" was a major disappointment for me. The storyline was weak and predictable, and the acting was subpar at best. The supposed chemistry between the two leads fell flat, and I found myself not caring about their journey at all. The action scenes were lackluster and failed to keep me engaged. Overall, I can't recommend this movie to anyone looking for an exciting adventure.
2. Michael - 1 star
I couldn't wait for "Race to Witch Mountain" to end. The plot was incredibly cliché, and the dialogue was cringe-worthy. The special effects were nothing remarkable, and couldn't salvage this poorly executed film. The characters were one-dimensional and uninteresting, and I found it difficult to root for them. Save yourself the disappointment and skip this one.
3. Emily - 2 stars
"Race to Witch Mountain" lacked the charm of the original movie it was based on. The plot felt convoluted and drawn-out, with unnecessary twists that didn't add anything to the story. The CGI was not up to par, making the action scenes feel unrealistic and unimpressive. The humor fell flat, and I found myself bored throughout most of the film. Overall, a disappointment for fans of the original and an easy pass for anyone looking for an exciting adventure.
