Each performer has their own style. The show has jaw-dropping illusions, impossible sleight-of-hand moments, and audience participation.
The Magic Studio first opened in June. It has a monthly live show, bringing nationally touring magicians to perform inside a production studio.
Nathan Coe Marsh is one of the magicians in the holiday show, and he’s also the creator and producer of The Magic Studio.
He says he has lived in Orlando since 2011 and opening a place for magicians to perform in here in Central Florida just made sense.
“Orlando is a crossroads for great variety acts, including world-class magicians, but the general public rarely gets to see them. Our town hosts thousands of corporate events and conventions each year, where magic is a popular choice for entertainment, and many cruise ships sail from nearby Port Canaveral with headlining magicians onboard,” Marsh said.
“The world of touring magicians is small, and personal connections to amazing colleagues has given me the chance to book high level performers and put them in front of the general public in a way that otherwise isn’t possible,” Marsh explained.
The Magic Studio shared this lineup of magicians, including Marsh, who will be performing in the holiday show:
