CARNEYMAGIC · THE THEATER SHOW
Small objects.
Extraordinary
possibilities.
Comedy, characters, and the pleasure of being completely surprised.
THE HUMAN SIDE OF WONDER
A story. A laugh.
A moment you can’t explain.
CarneyMagic brings storytelling, comedy, and remarkable sleight of hand together in a theatrical evening about mentors, secrets, and the beauty of illusion.
It starts with a connection.
A familiar object. A surprising character. A conversation with the audience. John’s show moves between intimate stories, playful comedy, and astonishing magic.
Audience participation is part of the pleasure, with humor that welcomes people into the experience.
Thoughtful entertainment for adults and families. Best for ages 8 and older.
ONE PERFORMER. MANY PERSONALITIES.
A little mystery.
A lot of character.
John’s characters give the show its theatrical life. Wit, imagination, and transformation share the stage with the magic.
The result is an evening with a human story at its heart and plenty of surprises along the way.
