Darke County Center for the Arts has teamed up with award-winning magician Daniel Martin to present “Magic Night In” on Saturday, March 27 at 7 p.m.; the virtual event will be available for streaming at no charge to patrons.
“Daniel is an amazing entertainer who has developed an interactive evening of magic for virtual audiences,” said DCCA Artistic Director David Warner. “The show will include Daniel teaching some incredible tricks using items most of us have lying around the house, so we hope that people of all ages will join us and maybe even become part of the magic,” Mr. Warner concluded.
According to DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan, this virtual programming is offered free of charge as a grateful thank you to the community for support shown the organization during the pandemic-induced restrictions which prevent live presentations. “We are looking forward to the day when DCCA can once again enrich lives through the arts by presenting talented artists doing what they love and were born to do in a live performance,” Ms. Jordan explained. “However, until that happy occurrence, we are seeking alternative ways to fulfill our mission, and are excited about working with this exciting and creative performer who has developed a delightful show that can be enjoyed in your living room,” she stated.
Daniel Martin, known for his high-energy fusion of exhilarating magic and humor, draws record-breaking crowds at theaters and universities around the world.
