| "Beautifully Done!" - Penn & Teller
Direct from Colorado! Comedy Magician Braden Carlisle tours the country with his scalable theater show for family audiences. In his home state of Colorado, Braden has performed a monthly Sold-Out Magic Show for 68 consecutive months.
Far from the tackiness or cheesiness* often associated with magicians, Braden’s magic is funny, sharp, and relies on a lifetime of practice and performing experience. You’ve seen a rabbit get pulled out of a hat, but have you seen a man swallow a balloon larger than a small child?
The best part about Braden's show is that it appeals to all ages. The humor is family friendly and the magic is universally awe-inspiring. You will be thinking about that big finale long after you leave the theater.
