“Kids are looking for the foundational bricks of their lives”- Mario Marchese
I’m really excited about today’s guest! Get ready to learn all about how this NYC magician creates his own magic props, and the philosophy of why we should make new things
Mario ‘the Magician’ Marchese has been featured in a film documentary called Building Magic, has been a guest on Sesame Street, and does magic shows for the young and young at heart in New York.
Mario spent two years hitchhiking around the US, living without money, and he has brought the mentality of wonder to his life and projects as a magician. He is building a magic classic car in his garage, has a robotic monkey, and his entire act fits into a single magic suitcase.
His mission is to leave kids inspired with a foundational confidence that they can create what they want.
Mario’s friends would describe him as the best in the world at focusing on his creative projects. I was really impressed with the breadth of those projects, from learning to sew jeans, code, create robots, build a car, and learn magic.
You are going to love Mario’s enthusiasm for his life and projects, and his well developed philosophies about making things, and what we need in life. Enjoy!
