Get a sneak peek into the creative process and vision of Mario “the Maker Magician” Marchese! Mario is a New York-based performer, currently in London with his critically-acclaimed, award-winning show, which plays at Underbelly Boulevard through 4th August.
Mario is known for his infusion of DIY electronics and robotics into his work and uses magic to inspire kids and families to make and create without limitation. He has appeared on The Tonight Show, Sesame Street, Blue Peter, and live on tour opening for David Blaine, who calls him “the best kids magician in the world!!” Mario is also the author of two magic books: The Maker Magician’s Handbook and Robot Magic, the latter of which boasts a foreword by David Copperfield. This year, Mario was awarded the Magic Castle’s Creative Fellowship, the Dai Vernon Foundation award for Creativity, and the Allan Slaight Sharing Wonder award.
His 29th July visit to the Magic Circle is a chance to see the inner workings of some of his most beloved robotic routines, learn about his process and inspiration, and ask any and all questions about his magic journey!
