It seems like forever since I wrote on this blog. Thankfully, I have news to share. I'll be doing my new show, Capturing Magic, virtually for the next few weeks. This was a show that I designed specifically for the virtual world of magic performance. The idea was to have a mixture of interactive magic and highly visual magic. That was my goal for virtual shows all along, however, this time I had a lot of experience doing online magic so it gave me a better idea of what to shoot for.
There is one thing that sets my show apart from others and that is the inclusion of a story, often told without any magic at all, though sometimes I do use magic. I have several stories that I want to include in this show, but I'm still working them out. If you look at the poster image below you'll notice in the upper right hand corner the image of a fairy. This is because I wanted to share the story of the Cottingly Fairies. Take a good look at that poster and see how many fairies you can see in the poster, there is more than one.
If you are unfamiliar with the Cottingly Fairy story, it involves two young girls and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. There is a movie called 'Fairy Tale: A True Story', that was made about the whole adventure. I'm not going to tell you the story here, you'll have to wait for the show. And as of right now, the story has not made it into the show, but I hope to have it in there very very soon.
If you are interested in watching Capturing Magic, tickets are easy to come by, just go to ZoomMagicShow.com and follow the prompts to the ticketing page. One ticket per household, quite inexpensive and a fun family activity!
