Mario the Maker Magician @The Old Church Concert Hall
David Blaine calls Mario “the best kids magician in the world!!” Come see why!
As seen on Sesame Street and Sprout, Mario the Maker Magician is making his way to you! More than just a performer, Mario is also an inventor who creates his own props. He is known for his dedication to the Maker Movement and STEAM initiatives and his integration of DIY electronics and robotics into his performance. It’s magic through the lens of the Maker Movement, with a healthy dose of hilarity. Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin for the modern age, with a mad inventor twist!
The show is ideal for ages 3-10 and their families and runs approx. 60 minutes, without intermission. $10-20
