Jason Bishop’s touring illusion show often earns compliments for the magician’s wry humor and his modern, “un-theatrical” style onstage. No one’s accused him of devoting himself to the classics, but his floating sphere mystery is classically mysterious.

It’s an image that inspires wonder. The audience invariably watches in reverent silence.
