Totally mental: Mentalist and illusionist Craig Karges opens PVCC’s live performance season with a challenge: If you can prove that volunteer audience members are actually coached ahead of time, and planted at his show, he will donate $100,000 to charity. The entertainer dazzles audiences around the globe by reading minds and performing baffling tricks. Karges has appeared on “Larry King Live” and “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” and even prompted comedian Dennis Miller to exclaim: “This weirds me out!”
Friday 9/3, $10-12, 7:30pm. PVCC’s V. Earl Dickinson Building, 501 College Dr., pvcc.edu/performingarts.
