Broomfield, Colo. - Broomfield Sports and Entertainment welcomes Quick Change presented by Wolfpack Entertainment to perform in the first-intermission of the 2008 Central Hockey League All-Star Game on January 16th at 7:05 p.m. The All-Star Game is hosted by the Rocky Mountain Rage hockey team and the Broomfield Event Center.
"We are looking forward to having Quick Change perform. It is something that will leave the crowd talking after the game," said Rick Nichols, EVP / COO of Broomfield Sports and Entertainment. "This is just one of the entertainment acts we are bringing to the CHL All-Star Game weekend. More announcements on CHL All-Star Game entertainment are coming soon."
David Maas and Dania Kaseeva present Quick Change-acclaimed as one of the most original and astonishing magic acts ever seen on stage or in the ring since the days of the legendary Italian transformist Fregoli. During a non-stop, dynamic dance exhibition, Maas and Kaseeva puzzle a flabbergasted audience with staggering, flashing costume transformations, which happen in fractions of a second. Since Quick Change's debut with this act in 1996, audiences have responded to their illusions with tremendous ovations. They are presently appearing at professional sporting events and the most prestigious magic conventions around the world.
Quick Change was recently seen August 21st on this season's finale of America's Got Talent on NBC. Maas and Kaseeva were invited back to perform as one of the top acts from last season.
"We're extremely excited and honored to be performing for the Central Hockey League All Star Game. This is our first trip to the Broomfield Event Center and we are very much looking forward to showing our unique brand of entertainment to the CHL hockey fans," said David Maas, Quick Change artist. "We think the audience will be surprised."

Maas and Kaseeva met in 1995 on a circus tour, where Kaseeva was performing her award-winning hula-hoop act and Maas was working as a singing ringmaster.
Born in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, Kaseeva is the daughter of one of the Russian circus living legends, Rustam Kaseev. She began training at age six in sports/gymnastics and later in acrobatics and dance, and combined these techniques to create a unique hula-hoop act with which she made her professional debut at 14, in a touring production of the Moscow Circus. Her finely polished technique, coupled with dynamic choreography and a magnetic stage personality, soon earned her an international reputation as the world's greatest hula-hoop act - a fact sanctioned by the Gold Medal Kaseeva won at the Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain in Paris, in 1988. A headliner of the Moscow Circus from 1981-1990, she has performed extensively in Europe, South America, Asia and North America. In 1991-92, she was a featured attraction of the Big Apple Circus at New York's Lincoln Center and on tour. She has since settled in America.
Maas was also raised in show business; his German-born father, Jerry Robert Maas, was a concert pianist. At age eight, an eager Maas put together his first circus act, juggling on a low wire. He trained in acrobatics, dance and theatre, and showed an exceptional talent for singing which led him, at nineteen, to embark into a twelve year career as a singing ringmaster for various shows in the U.S., Canada and England, including Circus Circus Hotel and Casino in Reno, Nevada and Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, Florida. In 1994 he was awarded the Bronze Medal at the International American Performing Arts Festival. Mass also studied magic, a discipline he has practiced with great success for the past ten years.
