Student Involvement hosts a Friday Night Live show featuring mentalist Craig Karges at 9 p.m. Jan. 17 in the Nebraska Union Ballroom.

Admission is free with a valid NCard.

Karges is an award-winning entertainer, nationally recognized speaker and author who has made more than 4,000 appearances in 17 countries and four continents. His performances combine the art of magic with the science of psychology and power of intuition. He challenges imaginations, making tables float, reading minds and bending metal.

Karges first became popular touring college campuses. He was named Entertainer of the Year six times by the National Association for Campus Activities. Past NACA award-winners include Bruce Springsteen and Jay Leno. NACA’s campus membership also voted Karges as Variety Entertainer of the Year for 12 consecutive years. He was also the fifth inductee into the National Campus Entertainment Hall of Fame.
