Mario the Magician brings his uplifting, inventive, highly interactive and oh-so-original magic show for the young and young-at-heart to Lincoln Center’s David Rubenstein Atrium on Sept. 3, as part of the venue’s “Meet the Artist Saturdays.” His performance will be followed by a question and answer session and some audience participation.
Mario will conjure a show that is reminiscent of old-time slapstick, at once ridiculously silly and meticulously crafted.
And what would a magician be without his tools: beloved handcrafted props, a trusty top hat, and a sidekick? (No, it’s not a rabbit, Mario’s joined by Mozzarella the Dove!) The prestidigitator will perform to live musical accompaniment, courtesy of the four-piece jazz ensemble, Sleight of Hand Band. It will be an enchanting show that won’t make your money disappear — this event is free.
Mario the Magician at Lincoln Center’s David Rubenstein Atrium [Broadway between 62nd and 63rd streets in Manhattan, (212) 875-5456], Sept. 3 at 11 am. Free. For info, visit www.lincolncenter.org/atrium.
