Staniforth, Magician |

When Nate Staniforth performs at a college or university,
it’s not just another show, it’s a campus invasion. At each
engagement, Nate arrives early with a video camera and spends
the day filming close up street magic for students on campus.
These informal group performances allow students to see
impossible magic up close and in person, and the resulting
buzz creates an interest and intrique about the stage show
that night. That evening, Nate’s performance combines stunning
magic with original music, audience interaction, and a multimedia
presentation that makes Nate’s appearances absolutely unique.
Gone are the tables, boxes, scarves, top hats and bad jokes
that come to mind when one hears the word “magician.” In
his shows, Nate simply does magic. Simply. Openly. And it’s
amazing. Before the show, Nate edits the highlights of the
afternoon street magic footage into a short video, and one
of the highlights of the evening performance is the projection
of this video onto a large screen during the show, which
allows audience members to see themselves, their friends
and their classmates be astonished by Nate’s close up mysteries.
