The Magic Chamber (Seattle): 30 Seats, 60 Minutes, One outrageous event
Seattle Debut at Intiman Theatre's Studio
The Magic Chamber: 30 Seats, 60 Minutes, One Outrageous Event
April 2nd, 9th, & 16th
"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 performed Houdini's classic needle swallowing effect with an original twist, using shards of broken glass; Joyce smashing the bottle.
"He created a huge sensation," adds Joyce.
The original, world class magic of Joey Pipia is featured in The Magic Chamber: 30 Seats, 60 minutes, One outrageous event," presented for three shows only, Saturdays April 2nd, 9th, and 16th, 8 pm at Intiman Theatre's Studio at Seattle Center.
Expect to be dazzled by this performance, honed on the road in Pipia's successful Northwest Tall Grass Magic Tour, a recreation of the legendary cadre of traveling "Tall Grass Magicians" who haunted the earliest days of the vaudeville era; literally walking through tall grass from town to town.
"This man could hide an elephant in his coat," said Northwest Magazine in a feature article on the magician and The Magic Chamber; Pipia presented The Magic Chamber for over a year to sold out houses in Port Townsend at The Chameleon Theater. He is touring the Northwest now with, The Magic Chamber, culminating in the run at The Intiman.
"I'm honored to have The Magic Chamber be the first show performed in The Studio," says Pipia, explaining the venue provides a unique, no frills setting, creating an intimate experience.
"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.
Pipia has escaped from a straitjacket 80 feet above the street while dangling by his ankles, has appeared in film, on TV, and on stages across the country. He tours regularly with The New Old Time Chautauqua and the Flying Karamazov Brothers.
As for hiding an elephant in his coat? "You'll just have to see the show," he says.
