Forget everything you know about magicians pulling rabbits out of top hats.

Time-tested through thousands of performances around the world and full of stunning magic & clean comedy, this 60-minute spectacular will fill both teens AND adults with wonder! Get to know the mister behind the magic and the rabble-rousing raconteur behind the cape as superstar Mr. Messado engages your family with magic words, interactive tricks, and heartfelt memories in this hilarious performance about a love for entertainment and storytelling.

Mr. Messado’s School of Magic for the Young and Young at Heart is recommended for ages 8+. Little brothers and sisters 6 years and older can tag along. No tattletales, snitches, or cheats.
