About show
U.S. Premiere April 12-28, 2019
Korean Illusionists Bring Marvelous Magical Cabaret to 42nd Street New York, NY Poof! Presto! Snap! Brilliantly staged, SNAP is a wild mix of illusion featuring an eclectic ensemble of South Korean artists who will boggle your mind with their impressive powers of prestidigitation. Stumble through a
mysterious door and meet a variety of silly and strange characters that play with space, time and the otherworldly.
- The Oddball juggles bricks that appear out of thin air.
- The Alchemist conjures silver hoops out of glittering sand
- The Florist turns playing cards into fluttering butterflies.
- SNAP transcends the structure of mystery and suspense through the desire, conflict, and intertwined double lines of characters. Based on creative ideas, they reproduce realistic imagery on stage, and present fantastic art of dreamlike impressions that reflect the surreal world view.
- As the mysterious and magical SNAP makes its U.S. debut, it appears on the stage of New Victory Theater from April 12 to April 28, 2019.
- SNAP performed for sold-out crowds at Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2016, returning in 2017 for an encore run. Mixing dexterous sleight of hand, Chaplin-esque vaudevillian comedy and ingenious visual effects, the cast of SNAP employs their gift of silent storytelling to reach over cultural and language barriers and entertain audiences around the world.
- SNAP holds the Asian Arts Award for Best Production and Broadway World’s “Best Magic Show” title. In addition, SNAP was selected as “The official invitation production” for the first time in history as a magic-based performance at the CINARS Biennale which is the most prestigious arts market in the world.
- WCM. Since then, the company has produced original, interdisciplinary cultural events and performances, and served as consultants and agents for Korean artists.
