What seems like a most usual, ordinary day turns into something quite magical, surreal, and extraordinary when getting the unique chance to watch the most awarded performer of Hollywood’s famed Magic Castle, John Carney, in Carney Magic.
The audience was delighted and awe struck by his mystical feats and tricks of irony and his specialty: sleight of hand and illusion. The show is quite interactive, as he welcomes audience participation throughout.
At times of uncertainty in our own lives, it’s opportune to embrace the uncanny, the unexpected, the magic and mystique. Carney begins his show, referring to Einstein, an obvious major influence on his own life and philosophy. He shares a quote from Einstein of the importance of imagination and wonder above all. We all can benefit from a whimsical world of Abra Cadabra, hocus-pocus – a change of pace from the humdrum of everyday life.
This show, which features comedic riffs, multiple characters, mind boggling sleight of hand, and astonishing card and handkerchief tricks brings a sense of wonder and imagination to the inner child within.
Carney has the knack and charisma to delight us in a spectacle we all crave, that takes us to another dimension, out of our comfort zone, suspending belief, if only temporarily.
On the wall are portraits of renowned magicians and illusionists who have influenced Carney in his formative years. He developed the innate gift of sleight of hand, a skill which only the lucky few possess.
Magic is perhaps the most fantastical form of escape to another realm, and this show, presented in true theatrical form, is just the treat we need.
With utmost passion, Carney is smart, engaging, and hilarious, sharing his profound philosophy that magic is the miracle of everything – making order out of chaos. He reminds us that nothing is impossible, with amazing surprises in store throughout every moment of the show.
“Carney Magic” runs through April 26th, on Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 3pm, at Grove Theatre Center, located at 1111 W. Olive Ave., in Burbank. Visit www.gtc.org or call (800) 838-3006 for tickets and information.
