Local magician Zac Tenneboe claims he can predict theArgus Leader'sheadlines for Friday.

Tenneboe, a Sioux Falls native whose stage name is z*stonish, made his prediction a month ago on KSFY-TV's morning show.

On Sept. 13, the magician wrote down his guess and placed it in a FedEx certified envelope. The show's hosts then taped it shut and signed the seal.

On Friday, the hosts will bring the envelope to the Orpheum Theatre for Tenneboe's new show "Superstitions: A Psychological Spectacle."

During the performance, Tenneboe will invite them on stage to open the envelope. He will be holding a copy of theArgus Leader for Oct. 13, hoping his prediction matches the newspaper's headlines.

Tenneboe is a full-time magician and comedic hypnotist who performs at school and corporate events around the region.

The Roosevelt graduate fell in love with magic at a young age. His dad, the magician David Lloyd, brought him to magic shows and conventions around the country.

"At about 4 years old he pulled me on stage to help me out with a trick," recalls Tenneboe. "Growing up I was able to tour the Midwest with him and watch him do shows and help out with that. Eventually I got old enough to do my own shows."

The stacks of magic books his dad provided helped turn his hobby into a profession.

Tenneboe's parents will be in the audience Friday, anxious to see if their son's prediction is correct.

During the one-man show Friday, Tenneboe will incorporate a theatrical play into his performance, weaving mind-blowing tricks into the narrative.

Audience reaction is what drives the magician to push the limits and redefine what it means to do magic. Tenneboe is ditching the rabbit and top hat for a new type of illusion.
