This show is definitely too edgy for most venues and audiences.A show like none other. Irreverent, witty, cutthroat, and reflective. This show uses magic tricks as a medium to explore the present-day social climate. The show has no taboos. You'll never see anything else like it.Join us as James shares his unique viewpoints -- developed as he has moved across the country seeking knowledge and using sleight of hand to connect with people from all walks of life along his travels....major differences that separate him from other magicians ... the way he tells a story through his tricks."-Guero Namara"James is a real artist and his magic speaks the truth"-Jordan AllenAbout JamesJames left home at 17 set on making his own way in the world. He began to travel; seeking life, adventure, and education wherever he could find it. Sneaking into top colleges to take classes on philosophy, psychology, and other topics; even once being thrown out of a mathematics class at Stanford University when the professor learned that he was not a student.Along the way he searched for and learned from the best sleight of hand artists that he could find, often trading secrets on the way to developing his personal style.After a few of his scripts began circulating around magic's inner circles he began writing routines and scripts for other magicians and sleight of hand artists.Now he is performing his own unique blend of entertainment mixing sleight of hand with poetry, storytelling, and a point of view. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/santa-monica/james-mako-not-your-kids-magician/100001999299972036 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Workshops, Business, Entertainment, Kids, literary-art, performances, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 14.57, max: 38.48, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Santa Monica - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Illusion Magic Lounge - **lat**: 34.0158644 - **long**: -118.4948374 - **full address**: Illusion Magic Lounge, 1418 4th Street, Santa Monica, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: James Mako - Not Your Kids Magician - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/795ea5c90a909b0ce0871d7516656b11a00739d88333b1f8d1e37f1ec4fe1db0-rimg-w724-h1024-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1788225369 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is James Mako - Not Your Kids Magician being held? - **A:** James Mako - Not Your Kids Magician takes place on Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Illusion Magic Lounge, 1418 4th Street, Santa Monica, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing James Mako - Not Your Kids Magician? - **A:** James Mako - Not Your Kids Magician is organized by Illusion Magic Lounge. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
