ILLUSIONIST GLENDA
MANN
Glenda
presents visual messages with her illusions, which she uses as object lessons.
She calls her presentations, “gospel-magic”, or “puzzles for the eyes”.
She quickly gains the attention of adults as well as children.
Glenda's interest in performance dates back to her
childhood. She was first a musician and vocalist. She taught herself to play the
piano beginning at the age of 3. She became so musically talented that several
different traveling Gospel music groups hired her to play for them. She also is
a fine vocalist and has composed nearly 100 songs. Her love of visual
presentations also started early when she watched her grandmother use small
illustrations to reinforce Bible messages in church. She was fascinated by the
visual puzzles that always kept her attention. As an adult she remembered those
moments at her grandmother's knee and began reading, studying, and rehearsing to
become a visual presenter herself. She attended many presenter conventions and
began writing dialogue while perfecting her performance.
Glenda's signature routines include the Linking Rings performed with Hula Hoops,
a "floating" table, the mutilated parasol, and producing live rabbits and doves.
She not only works solo, but also performs her visualizations while working with
her husband, Mike. The two performers together add variety that changes
constantly during the program. Glenda also shows her prowess with large
illusions like the Hindu Basket and Metamorphosis (the Substitution Trunk).
