Let's Talk About Brand with Mario Marchese

When I first got to know Mario Marchese, aka Mario the Maker Magician, nearly a decade ago, he had already achieved some success as a children's birthday party magician (including performing for many NYC celebrities). Mario now has a full stage show, selling out theatres and festivals in NYC, London, Edinburgh, and Adelaide. He's won awards from the Magic Castle and has appeared on Sesame Street, Blue Peter, and The Tonight Show. Here’s a bit of what we cover in today’s entertaining, inspiring conversation between friends: How Mario went from teaching elementary school, to performing as a weekend magician, to running his own business (alongside his brilliant, visionary wife, Katie Marchese);Learning how to bring more of his genuine self (and his personal style) to his shows;An overheard comment that changed his life; Building his own show, quite literally;The celebrity moment that helped his dad finally understand;Shifting gears from living rooms to theatres (and learning how to fill them!);The four minutes of every show that make it all worthwhile;What it all means to Mario (and, hopefully, to his audiences);Why less is sometimes more.
