The Dr. Wilderness Show is an Emmy-award-winning stage magic show. Featuring professional magician Khevin Barnes, the production began as a national television special, airing in prime-time on CBS stations. Over time, the show has evolved into a live multi-media family event combining inspiring commentary, theater, amazing robotics, special effects and magical illusions.
Most audiences remember Barnes as “that guy with the bird,” referring to his co-star Socrates the Toucan, perhaps the most sophisticated animatronic bird ever created. Designed and engineered by Animal Makers Inc. the computerized robotic side-kick is the centerpiece of a high-tech performance which includes surround-sound music, digital video displays, audience participation and, of course, the inter-active shenanigans of Socrates.
The Audubon Society calls Barnes Americas’ premiere environmental magician and he was voted Best Family Entertainer by the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians.
