Winner of the Best Kids & Family Award Adelaide Fringe 2024.
Robots and magic and slapstick… oh my! Contagiously upbeat and full of heart, the ever-endearing Mario leads you through a romping explosion of energy and belly laughs punctuated with moments of heart and emotion that will catch you by surprise. Not “just a kids’ show,” this is an all-ages theatre experience… for adults, kids, families… everyone.
Mario the Maker Magician weaves through a world of vaudeville and magic, cardboard and robots, science and innovation, to instil a positive message that will last in the minds and hearts of all who partake in the hour-long journey together.
The show has toured the USA, Australia, the UK and beyond over the past several years, shaping into the beautifully passionate expression of all-ages theatre that it is today. Mario also has appeared on Jimmy Fallon, Sesame Street, Universal Kids, and live on tour with David Blaine, who calls him "the best kids’ magician in the world!!”

Mario has appeared on The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon, Sesame Street, NBC's Universal Kids, HGTV, and live on tour opening for David Blaine's 2018 North American tour. Blaine calls Mario "the best kids magician in the world!!" Mario is also the author of two step-by-step magic books: The Maker Magician's Handbook and Robot Magic , the latter of which boasts a foreword by David Copperfield.
During the pandemic, among many other projects, Mario created the robot magic social media sensation, Automabot . This ever-endearing Arduino-driven cardboard magician went viral across the internet and even made TV appearances in the US and Japan.
It's a family business, through and through. The "Mario the Maker Magician" brand is a collaborative effort between Mario, his wife, Katie , and their two children, Gigi and Bear (the real bosses.) They tour together, invent together, learn together, and dream together, always.
