Double vision

Don’t blink your eyes. You’re actually seeing double. It’s Double Vision, an identical twin magic act from Canada. The twins, Mitchell and Michael, have been performing together all their lives and they can’t wait to help you experience twice the fun. They can be found each day at the WLTX stage.
