NYC-based magician, Nelson Lugo, will be performing his critically acclaimed show, GATHERING THE MAGIC. Mr. Lugo who has been described by Magic Times as "funny and gaspinducingly astounding, as well as sparklingly smart and sophisticated all at once" takes his audience on a journey that traverses "boy meets magic kit/boy becomes magician," complete with pitfalls, triumph and adventure. Laced with tales from his career and life including his Santeria heritage Lugo's GATHERING THE MAGIC reveals that it's not always important to know HOW a magic trick is done, but WHY.

Critical Acclaim for GATHERING THE MAGIC
"in speaking of his life experiences, including the first time he saw magic performed by Harry Blackstone Jr., his love of Batman and some supposedly "real" magic performed by his Santeria grandmother, goes to the heart of why some of us find magic so irresistible. For this reason, Gathering the Magic may just be the perfect show to entertain conjuring fans as well as those who don't get it."
