The Magic Chamber (Olympia): 30 Seats, 60 Minutes, One outrageous event
Joey Pipia's Magic Chamber in Olympia
One Show Only: Sat. March 12, 8 PM
"Joey Pipia is the genuine article," says Kevin Joyce, Director of Teatro ZinZanni, about Pipia's performance on Joyce's Seattle Channel TV show, Big Night Out. Pipia added an original twist to Houdini's classic needle swallowing effect; he used shards of broken glass taken from a bottle Joyce had just smashed.
"He created a huge sensation," adds Joyce.
The invisible and original world class magic of Joey Pipia is featured in The Magic Chamber: 60 minutes, 30 seats, One outrageous event," presented for one show only, Saturday March 12th at 8 pm at The Midnight Sun Theater, 113 Columbia Street Northwest.
Expect to be dazzled by this performance, honed on the road in Pipia's successful tour of the northwest recreating the legendary work of the great traveling magicians of the early vaudeville era.
"This man could hide an elephant in his coat," said Northwest Magazine in a feature article on the magician and his show; Pipia presented The Magic Chamber for over a year to sold out houses in Port Townsend at The Chameleon Theater. The sell out has continued: The first three stops on the tour, Bellingham, Anacortes, and Port Townsend, sold out as well.
"The magic happens literally inches away from your eyes," says Pipia. No fancy boxes, no smoke or mirrors. It's the ultimate challenge; up close, fast paced, and amazing.
Grown-ups awake, The Magic Chamber is for you. Kids will enjoy it, but this event is probably not for six-year olds.
Pipia is touring The Magic Chamber through the Northwest culminating in a three week run at the Tony Award winning Intiman Theatre in Seattle this April. Pipia has appeared in film, on TV, and on stages across the country.
As for hiding an elephant in his coat? "You'll just have to see the show," he says.
Tickets, $18, may be also be purchased in person at Rainy Day Records downtown Olympia. Rainy Day Records is located at 301 5th Avenue Southeast.
