Contagiously upbeat and full of heart, the ever-innovative Mario the Maker Magician leads you through an explosion of handmade art and robot magic for all ages. He's "magic's punk rock Peter Pan philosopher!" Do what you love, use what you have and have fun!
Robots and magic and slapstick… oh my!
Described as not “just a kids’ show,” Mario the Maker Magician is an all-ages theatrical experience for adults, kids, families and everyone in between!
Mario weaves through a world of vaudeville and magic, cardboard and DIY robots, science and innovation, to instil a positive message that will last in the minds and hearts of all who partake in the hour-long journey together. He teaches the audience about famous scientists, inventors and artists, with the infectious messages of doing what you love, using what you have, and having fun in all of his performances!
The show has toured the US, Australia, the UK and beyond over the past several years, shaping into the beautifully passionate expression of all-ages theatre that it is today. Mario also has appeared on Sesame Street, Universal Kids and live on tour with David Blaine, who calls him "the best kids’ magician in the world!!” Mario arrives to Sydney Opera House fresh off a sold out Off-Broadway run in New York City and is recently featured on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon!
