Matthew Laslo, a local, award-winning magician will make his TV debut on a national television network to be announced later in July.

This TV series features some of the world’s finest magicians performing their best tricks in front of a live Las Vegas audience.

“It was a blast,” said Laslo, who was the youngest performer chosen from hundreds of contenders for a show that will air starting July 11.

He will also be presenting “Magic Now” on July 2 and 3 at 7:30 p.m. at Sea View Theatre at 7:30 p.m. The doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Laslo fell in love with the art of magic at seven years of age. Now at just 15 years old, he’s created his own full-length illusion show that includes varied styles of magic, from card miracles to grand illusions. Laslo is a consummate performer who brings a youthful, fresh approach to the art of magic.

“I believe that magic is happening all around us, all the time,” Laslo said. “By that I mean that the world if full of wonder and beauty and opportunity. We just have to keep looking for it. Magic is an art that demonstrates that life it not always what it seems. That is what is so fun for me. In my show I’ve updated of the some classics of magic and created original material with more current and relatable props. I want my show to reflect what is relevant for audiences today.”

Magic Now has exciting new pieces, including his original trick that he filmed for the TV show. Joining him is his ltalented assistant Maria Bullock.

Tickets for the performances are $10 and available at Darvill’s’ Bookstore or online at http://matthewlaslo.bpt.me/.
