For a 6 month plan for shows, a handshake from a theatre director, a cease and desist letter from a local company, and for being entirely financed out of pocket, who would have conceived that Taylor Martin’s INDY MAGIC MONTHLY @ THEATRE ON THE SQUARE would have been around for 100 shows?

For a 6 month plan for shows, a handshake from a theatre director, a cease and desist letter from a local company, and for being entirely financed out of pocket, who would have conceived that Taylor Martin’s INDY MAGIC MONTHLY @ THEATRE ON THE SQUARE would have been around for 100 shows? Well, the audiences that come every month to see the finest magic that comes to Indianapolis, that’s who. And for the 100th show of IMM you will less. Opening with a special guest in the guise of Swami B from The Blue Monkey Sideshow , you’ll immediately be transported into the magic of the stage. Will he walk on glass? Will he create something just for IMM? Hmmm..
Next, Mistress of Ceremonies Andrea Merlyn, the Queen of Magic, returns for a set of some of her most remember tricks from her IndyFringe shows and her 30 years of performances in Indy. Following her is Cody Clark, a young magician who got his first stage appearance with Indy Magic Monthly, and this year will place his one person show “A Different Way Of Thinking” to the 2016 Indy Fringe. Cody’s a recent graduate of the University of Louisville and has presented his special form of entertainment for Special Olympics of Indiana and The Noble Center fund raiser. As an autistic person high on the spectrum, his show brings not only magic, but insight that is not to be missed. And finally, the headliner has fooled Penn and Teller, toured around the globe, and is regarded as one of the great performers today, Francis Menotti. He is bringing new things, including the trick that fooled Penn and Teller. “We
knew he was going to fool us,” says Penn. And he’s coming to Indy for just this one night and you never know when he’ll be back again. All this, plus surprises, a reunion of performers from the past and the legendary intermission door prizes, will make for a great evening of magic.
