Carnegie Hall’s Second Stage Series continues with A Magic Lesson with Dan Kamin on Thursday, Nov. 20, at 7 p.m. Guests are invited to come early for the Second Stage Lounge from 6 to 6:45 p.m. A cash bar and snacks will be available.
The Magic Lesson is an evening of Dan’s dazzling deceptions along with true tales of the criminals, cardsharps and master magicians who taught him to do them. It’s a hilarious coming of age story disguised as a wildly entertaining magic show. In his pursuit of magical secrets Dan crossed paths with a rogue’s gallery of strange and wonderful characters, including notorious con man Evil Eye Finkle, legendary sleight-of-hand artist Tony Slydini, and many more. And now you can meet them too, in The Magic Lesson.
A master of movement as well as magic, Dan trained Robert Downey, Jr. for his Oscar-nominated performance in Chaplin and created Johnny Depp’s comedy moves for Benny and Joon. He also played the wooden Indian that came to life in the cult horror classic Creepshow 2. Dan performs in theatres and with symphony orchestras worldwide.
The Second Stage Series consists of five special events that take place in the Old Stone Room located on the ground floor of the Hall. The intimate setting creates a “speak easy” vibe with an eclectic line-up of entertainment. Seating is general admission.
Tickets are $20. Thanks to the Carnegie Cardinal Fund, Greenbrier County Students attend for free, but still must reserve a seat.
Tickets may be purchased by visiting www.carnegiehallwv.org, calling 304-645-7917, or stopping by the box office at 611 Church Street, Lewisburg.
