John Kaplan's
Makin’ MAGIC!

“Over 25 Years Of Performance Gems in this
BEST-OF magical review show SPECTACULAR!”

Escape into a realm of fantasy and make-believe where ANYTHING is possible!

“Makin’ MAGIC!” dazzles your senses with amazing illusions and spectacular special effects brought to life with electrifying music and dance in an entertainment event that’ll thrill your whole family!

The emphasis is on fun and laughter as the audience is treated to a high-energy, 90-minute program of magic, music, dance and comedy. There’s plenty of fun when audience volunteers are invited onstage to participate in the magic ... sometimes with hilariously disastrous results!

Along the way John gets his revenge on “The Masked Magician” (notorious TV exposer of magician’s secrets) … people and things mysteriously appear, float and vanish into thin air … and there’s a thrilling new “multi-media” component for an added dimension of illusion unlike anything John has presented before!

“Makin’ MAGIC!” is John Kaplan’s newest show release, containing highlights from over 25 years of performances for family audiences. It’s a wonderfully entertaining mix of killer “Best-Of” material - PLUS some all-new magic innovations and never-before-seen illusions!

As with John Kaplan’s other popular Fundraising Magic™ productions, this is a show that parents can enjoy with their children and grandparents and everybody will have a terrific time as they share some truly magical moments. Magical moments that’ll leave many fond, lasting memories.

John Kaplan’s “Makin’ MAGIC!” show is a 90-minute live stage show that features a dynamic scenic backdrop, dazzling theatrical lighting effects, big-screen video projection and a talented cast of dancers and performers.
