â
WHO IS MARIO?
Mario "the maker magician" marchese is the Mario show's co-creator (along with his wife, Katie) and fearless host!
pre-pandemic, mario's days were spent on the road with Katie and their two kids, gigi and bear, touring theaters across the country and world, with his all-ages, one-man theater experience full of magic, diy robots, and new-school slapstick. he's been featured in make: magazine for his maker mentality. he's appeared on Sesame Street, NBC's UniversalKids, and even toured as David Blaine's opening act in 2018. In their february 2019 cover story, M-U-M magazine called mario "magic's punk rock Peter Pan philosopher." we'd be hard-pressed to put it better than that.

David Blaine calls Mario "the best kids magician in the world!!"
