No one less than G.K. Chesterton considered individuals such as John Carney when he wrote “there is a great man who makes every man feel small. But the real great man is the man who makes every man feel great.”
Over the top?
Maybe not.
Consider his skills and awards: he’s won every category for The Magic Castle Magician of the Year; two FISM Awards; tutored under Dai Vernon; and author of some of the best books on sleight of hand written.
But Mr. Carney could easily rest on his laurels but chances are it would not be a comfortable seat or a comfortable fit. His work writing, lecturing, and coaching benefits magicians of all levels.
Plus, the guy can do a pretty good show.
Well, now the man who brought you On Palming, Secrets, and Carneycopia, has taken on a new venture.
Mr. Carney’s Wonder Cabaret combines his love of magic, comedy, and music into a full show for viewing this summer. Each weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) from June 3rd to July 3rd, audiences will have a chance to enjoy new routines, musical and comedic pieces intermingled (which is legal in California) with great magic.
If that is not enough for you, we have it on great authority that the incredible Mr. Mysto will make an appearance.
Like all good things, this incredible run will have a short run. If you’re interested in great entertainment, make plans to attend. The price couldn’t be more reasonable, just $15.00. Reservations are recommended and all shows will be held in of the nicest venues in the NoHo Arts District, the Actor’s Forum Theatre, at 10655 Magnolia Blvd, North Hollywood, California.
You can check out the menu of great performers for this brief smorgasbord by visiting Carney Magic.
Congratulations to Mr. Carney and thank you on behalf of all those of us who have been urged towards greatness by your kindness and talent.
