A headlining performer at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for four straight years, Nu was also the international star of four hour-long television specials for TLC entitled "The Mysterious World of Alain Nu."

On January 20th, 2009, Alain was asked to appear before many of the living recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor at the Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball which celebrated President Obamas inauguration into the White House.

Now, you can experience the magic of Alain up-close and personal. The Western North Carolina Society of American Magicians will be sponsoring both a workshop and lecture on Sept. 14th, 2010 in Asheville NC. Both the workshop and the lecture will be at Shoneys, located at the intersection of I-26 and Long Shoals Rd. (Exit 37).  The Hands-on workshop will begin at 5:30pm and the lecture at 8pm.

The cost of the workshop is $60.00, -but- anyone attending the workshop will receive the manuscript/lecture notes of YOUR choice from any of the normally $50.00 manuscripts that Alain sells at his lectures. Net cost of the lecture... $10.00  

The lecture, beginning a 8pm, will be priced at an extremely affordable  $15.00. Alain's visit to Asheville isn't about the money, it's about the magic and mentalism you'll learn during this totally unique experience.
