James Mako - Not Your Kids' Magician
2024-03-28 20:00 - 21:30
BUY TICKETS!

An Adult, One Night Only 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 and political 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

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.

Siena Foster-Soltis’s adaptation of Jack Skelley’s Fear of Kathy Acker is a tantalizing pseudo-Odyssean pop culture purge. With surrounding themes of desire, writing, consumerism, paranoia, gender, and the 1980s, Foster-Soltis (with co-director Rory James Leech) transforms FOKA through the lens of live theater and the contemporary Los Angeles literary scene. As the original work of autofiction, written by a young Skelley in the early 80s, sees its second life (published by Semiotext(e) in 2023), Foster-Soltis centers both the parallels and dichotomies of Skelley’s hetero-male-centric voice and her own perspectives. In a literal protagonist mashup and mind-meld, Fear of Kathy Acker is experienced through an all femme and non binary cast and will be premiering at Illusion Magic Lounge in Santa Monica located at 1418 4th St, Santa Monica, CA 90401. The performances will begin at 8:00 on February 27th, 28th, and 29th.

The performance contains suggestive and sexual content, strong language, and adult themes. This show is recommended for audiences 18+ and older.

Illusion Magic Lounge doors open at 6:00PM. Bites and Beverages available for purchase in lounge.
