Mario "The Maker Magician" Marchese Masterclass

Masterclass by Mario Marchese (37.50 - normally $75.00)

This more than 4-hour download is an inspirational and practical roadmap for a successful career in magic from one of the busiest magicians in the world.

Mario "The Maker Magician" Marchese is an award-winning performer, lecturer and creator that has toured around the world sharing his unique brand of magic. Known for his "maker" skills and distinct "Punk Rock" style, Mario is a master of pushing the boundaries of innovation. He has appeared on countless national television shows from Sesame Street to HGTV. However, his most significant mainstream fame can be attributed to one of his most prized creations, Automabot—a robot magician that became a social media sensation with its amazing magic trick videos.

While David Blaine has dubbed Mario Marchese as the "best kid's magician in the world", the "Mario 'The Maker Magician' Masterclass does not focus solely on children's magic. Instead, it offers an exclusive look behind-the-scenes at Mario's true specialty: thinking outside the box to create truly personal and unique magic that inspires others.

We could say more, but we think David Copperfield sums it up perfectly in the foreword for Mario's bestselling book Robot Magic:
"Mario's work creates opportunity. The opportunity to inspire people to break free from stagnation and to create. It's an opportunity to take what's come before, and expand it into new direction. That's an incredible gift."

This massive download is an incredible value that gives you two 90-minute lectures + an exclusive bonus download for one low price.

Session 1: Hacking your Magic

The number one question Mario gets from fellow magicians is, “How can I make this 'thing' remote-controlled?” In this session, he shows you how to easily hack battery-operated props, toys and other objects to make them more magical than ever. These techniques can be applied to all types of magic tricks from close up magic to stage and parlor magic and even mentalism. You'll quickly learn that you're only limited by your own creativity.

Mario also break downs the steps to easily and inexpensively create movement and animation in physical objects, using simple motors and micro-controllers. These are easy-to-learn tools that open up endless possibilities in your magic. They are the same types of movements and ideas Mario used to create his viral robot magic series.

This download includes free supplementary .stl files for 3D printing some fun magic props.

Session 2: Creating Your Own Brand and Marketing your Magic

For the second session, Mario welcomes in his wife, manager and co-adventurer Katie to offer a behind-the-scenes look at their very intentional branding, marketing, and social media endeavors. This amazing download is designed to spark creativity and empower you with the skills needed to find your own unique and proactive voice in the crowded world of entertainment. As the countless 5-star reviews show, this is regarded as one of the most valuable Vanishing Inc. Masterclass sessions of all time.

Solomon

Wow, I really expected this to be challenging with all the coding and technical details involved. But I have to say, Mario’s delivery is nothing short of outSTANDING (or toppling over once you get the Arduino board and the coding right :) thank you Mario And V INC for such an informative masterclass on a topic I knew so little about and a bit reluctant to explore.

Mario and Katie were very forthcoming with information and were not afraid to share as much as they could in the time that they had. Mario is truly an inspiration and his knowledge outside of magic really makes the magic community better.

Unequivocally recommended if you are at all interested in becoming yourself in stage and being the best magician you can be.

Mario and Katy are overflowing with inspiration, heart and sage advice not only on exploring new avenues for the magic you share but also to reconnecting with and communicating your reason for sharing it.
This is an engaging masterclass that will infect you with enthusiasm to learn more about Arduino, relay, branding, marketing and performance. All that’s left to say is thank you Mario and Katy for staying the course in pursuing and living the dream of doing what you love and sharing it with all of us!
Personally if I was to sum up this masterclass in one word, for me, that word would be JOYFUL. The way that Mario and Katy teach and speak emanates a joy that bears witness of a life that is aligned and operating within its essence. Thank you Vanishing Inc for creating this platform that connects, inspires and creates.

Random thoughts as I watched Mario's (and Katie's) fantastic Week 2 Vanishing Inc. Magic Masterclass session.

WOW! In a word...just plain WOW!

In all my life, I have never watched or heard a more inspirational, motivational, loving and practical video than this video where Mario and Katie so unselfishly, unreservedly and lovingly offered to the magic community a roadmap on how to succeed in a magic career ...and in life.

I was so engrossed in the presentation that the 1 1/2 hours session seemed to go by in the blink of an eye. Thank goodness I'll be able download and save this Week Two MasterClass.

Week 1 Masterclass lecture.

WOW! What an inspirational and intellectually stimulating lesson! Unequivocally, this Week 1 lecture was one of love, caring and SHARING.

Will I ever incorporate robotics into my presentations. Probably not, but I've learned so much introductory material from Mario and Katie (including the existence and availability of open source materials...including coding, robotics construction basics and robotic materials) that it would be disrespectful not only to Mario and Katie but also to myself to summarily dismiss the wonderful things they so generously revealed and so freely and unreservedly gave of themselves. So, I'll be sticking my toe into the robotic waters.

I'm looking forward to reading all of the PDFs and other source materials that Mario is including and/or has referenced in this 1st lecture. And I am looking forward to Week 2's lecture.

An amazing presentation filled with great ideas to take our creative spirit in a different direction. I joined this week not knowing what the lecture was going to be and as usual it was filled with wonderful thoughts, applications, and material that will be exciting to implement over the coming years.
