“Magician Joey Pipia is
the genuine article,” says Kevin Joyce, of UMO and Teatro ZinZanni fame,
about Pipia’s performance on Joyce’s Seattle Channel TV show, Big Night
Out. Pipia added an original twist to Houdini’s classic needle
swallowing effect; he used shards of broken glass taken from a bottle
Joyce had just smashed.
“He created a huge sensation,” adds Joyce.
The original, world class magic of Joey Pipia is featured in The Magic Chamber: 30 Seats, 60 minutes, One Outrageous Event presented for two shows only, Saturday, October 15th at Open Space for Arts & Community on Vashon Island.
Expect to be dazzled by this performance, honed on the road in Pipia’s successful Northwest Tall Grass Magic Tour, a recreation of the legendary cadre of traveling “Tall Grass Magicians” who haunted the earliest days of the vaudeville era; literally walking through tall grass from town to town.
“This man could hide an elephant in his coat,” said Northwest Magazine in a feature article on the magician and The Magic Chamber; Pipia presented The Magic Chamber for over a year to sold out houses in Port Townsend at The Chameleon Theater. His run this past spring at Seattle’s Intiman Theatre was also sold out. The show is on the road again.
In The Magic Chamber, a one-of-a-kind theatrical event, a small select audience experiences the phenomenal at arms length, and having suspended its disbelief, leaves this with the sensation that anything is possible.
“I’m delighted to take this show to Vashon Island,” says Pipia, adding the venue creates an intimate experience, “no fancy boxes, no smoke or mirrors. Instead, it’s just the magic; up close, fast paced, funny, and amazing.”
Pipia has escaped from a straitjacket 80 feet above the street while dangling by his ankles, has appeared in film, on TV, and on stages across the country. He performs with Moisture Festival, and tours regularly with The New Old Time Chautauqua and The Flying Karamazov Brothers.
As for hiding an elephant in his coat? “You’ll just have to see the show,” he says.
“He created a huge sensation,” adds Joyce.
