James Mako – Not Your Kids’ Magician
Saturday August 31 @ 9:30 pm – 11:00 pm
An Adults-Only Exploration of the Spectacular
A show like none other. Irreverent, witty, cutthroat, and reflective. This show uses magic tricks as a medium to explore the present-day social climate. The show has no taboos. You’ll never see anything else like it.
Join us as James shares his unique viewpoints — developed as he has moved across the country seeking knowledge and using sleight of hand to connect with people from all walks of life along his travels.
…major differences that separate him from other magicians … the way he tells a story through his tricks.”
-Guero Namara
“James is a real artist and his magic speaks the truth”
-Jordan Allen
A Note about Ticket Pricing
Illusion Magic Lounge was started as a passion project to help bring world-class magic to everyone. We’ve partnered with James to bring his fantastic narrative-driven magic show to you with incredible Pay What You Can ticket pricing. You’ll notice multiple price points for you to choose from below — all the tickets are General Admission. That’s right, paying more or less won’t secure a better or worse seat for you.
We think if you paid $25 to see this show, you would leave thinking you got an incredible show for that price. But if times are tough and you can’t afford $25 — no worries — there are a variety of ticket prices to suit literally any budget available. We want to make sure that if you want to see this show, you will be in the room when it happens. And if you are in the fortunate position to pay more than $25 for a ticket, we invite you to purchase a Patron ticket and help support someone else who can’t pay full price for the show.
We look forward to seeing you all on August 31st for this incredibly special show.
About James
James left home at 17 set on making his own way in the world. He began to travel; seeking life, adventure, and education wherever he could find it. Sneaking into top colleges to take classes on philosophy, psychology, and other topics; even once being thrown out of a mathematics class at Stanford University when the professor learned that he was not a student.
Along the way he searched for and learned from the best sleight of hand artists that he could find, often trading secrets on the way to developing his personal style.
After a few of his scripts began circulating around magic’s inner circles he began writing routines and scripts for other magicians and sleight of hand artists.
Now he is performing his own unique blend of entertainment mixing sleight of hand with poetry, storytelling, and a point of view.
