The
WONDERGROUND was created as a place to bring the community of magic and
variety together for an extraordinary experience in co-created art and
play. Artists, magicians, variety performers, dancers, painters,
musicians, multi-media artists and poets come together to celebrate and
create an experience.
WONDERGROUND
is held at The Olive, a Mediterranean restaurant and hookah lounge. The
entire 4-hour experience is hosted by world renowned magician Jeff
McBride. The evening begins with a stage show featuring magicians,
comedians, and other variety acts from around the world. Following
this, a close-up show begins where a group of 50 people can experience
sleight-of-hand magic in an intimate setting. For those who prefer to
dine and socialize, the New World Rhythmatism Dancers fill the stage
with inspired belly dancing. Throughout the night, the lounge is
surrounded with live painters, sculptors, and ambient performers.
Everywhere you look, art abounds. At 10pm sharp, the late stage show
begins featuring world class magicians, jugglers, dancers, fire eaters,
and poets, with different performers each month. After a final bow from
all of the Wonderground players, the patrons mingle with performers and
network with industry aficionados. |
