The History of Mystery with Magician Mike Rose

Mike Rose is not just a seasoned professional comedian and magician, but he is also a magic historian and award-winning author. Mike has combined his love of performing with his passion for magic history, creating this new show. During the performance, the audience will not only hear about magic and magicians from the past, but they will also see antiquarian magic recreated and performed. Many of the pieces of magic apparatus used in the performance are rare antiques from Mike’s personal collection. The historical facts and tidbits about magic’s past make the show fascinating, and the performance of the magic makes the show engaging and fun.
