Just like magic! On Sept. 5, Sandra Bullock bewitched the audience as she appeared during an advance screening of ‘Practical Magic 2’ at Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse Mueller. Hidden from the crowd, the Oscar-winning actress began engaging with the host in the background on a microphone, announcing “My name is… Sandy” before walking into the theater to a cheering crowd.
The Saturday night screening was emceed by Austin Monthly editor-in-chief Madeline Hollern, who chatted with Bullock before she answered audience questions about returning to the beloved role of Sally Owens, her favorite parts of the movie’s iconic house, and what she loves most about Austin. Before leaving, the actress took a selfie with the crowd—and toasted them with a midnight margarita, naturally.
The event was hosted by Warner Bros. Pictures and Fons PR. Practical Magic 2 will be released to the public on Thursday, Sept. 10.
