Illusionist and Alumnus Grandinetti to Perform at Family Weekend

Posted on by

Celebrated alumnus and illusionist Michael Grandinetti will return to Duquesne University for a one-night spectacular during Family Weekend on October 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the A.J. Palumbo Center.

Grandinetti will push the boundaries of magic during his first return to his hometown of Pittsburgh in ten years and first-ever performance at his Alma Mater. Grandinetti’s family-friendly show is full of exciting illusion and several new surprises.

On September 20, Michael brought his original magic and illusions to Bank of America Stadium, in Charlotte, NC, where he presented an all new halftime show during the Carolina Panthers home game against the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants.

Tickets can be purchased online when your register for Family Weekend or by calling 412.396.6209. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Cost is $15 per ticket. Students will be admitted with a Duquesne ID. Children 12 and under are also free.
