Good ol’ fashioned magic at Word

It’s magic time!

Mario the Magician brings his uplifting, inventive, highly interactive and oh-so-original magic show for the young and young-at-heart to Greenpoint’s Word bookstore on Aug. 28.

The half-hour show is reminiscent of old-time slapstick performances, at once ridiculously silly and meticulously crafted.

What would a magician be without his tools?

Mario is accompanied by his beloved handcrafted props, trusty top hat, and Mozzarella the Dove.

Mario the Magician at Word [126 Franklin St. at Milton Street in Greenpoint, (718) 383-0096], Aug. 28 at 1 pm. Free. For info, visit http://wordbrooklyn.com.
