Magic has rarely been a "family business" more than with Mario and Katie Marchese. Together, they have brought to life some of the most highly praised magic performances for kids around the world.
Mario Marchese is a highly successful magician from New York. His recent performances include a sold-out Off-Broadway run at SoHo Playhouse in New York, the Best Kids & Family Show award at the 2024 Adelaide Fringe Festival, and even an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
His signature style is that of a "Maker": he builds all his own props, becoming especially known for the animated robots he integrates into his performances.
But to truly understand the reason behind his success and gain some fascinating insights into the world of performing magic, we decided to speak with the person behind it all: Katie Marchese.
Katie has produced and managed all of her husband's performing work. The two have traveled the world together, building one of the most successful touring forces in magic today.
