Lawrence self-described illusionist, magician, sleight of hand artist, pickpocket, thief, conman and master of deception Korso the Curious joined Lawrence Central Rotary for an impromptu performance and discussion on his life as a performer.Originally from San Diego, but attended high school in Manhattan and then made his way to Lawrence, but he travels around the country performing.
Originally intrigued by theatre and acting, but yet keenly aware of staging and the technical aspects of performance, Korso soon found interest in the physicality of mime and then slight of hand and up-close illusions. He especially likes entertaining for small groups and crowd work during cocktail hours that let guests seamlessly glide from arrival to the main event without the dull time in between. Korso the Curious moves group to group entertaining and involving everyone in the fun by making seemingly normal objects will do extraordinary things such as coins traveling through the air, cards vanishing all while witty banter abounds.
He also told us about his one man show “My Road as a Magician” he would be performing in Kansas City at the Kick Comedy Theater. Located beneath the Westport Coffee House Sunday July 13th. Doors open at 7:00 pm ~ Show starts at 7:30 pm.
