mario the maker magician
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! Last year’s run at Soho Playhouse sold out and culminated in a feature appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon! Contagiously upbeat and full of heart, the ever-innovative Mario the Maker Magician leads you through a romping explosion of handmade art and robot magic for all ages.
