Micro Circus: The Floating Lady

Mario began performing magic professionally in 2004, and since his debut he has performed thousands of shows for all types of public and private events. He is now a full-time magician with a particular affinity for entertaining the young and young-at-heart.

When Mario first became interested in magic, he was lucky to meet and receive ongoing guidance from renowned magician Gene Anderson. Mr. Anderson's encouragement and advice has been integral in giving Mario the confidence to pursue life as a magician.

Continual influence is garnered from old magic books, silent films, slapstick comedy,and all the great things one comes across in life.
