Tuesday, July 7, 6:30 pm - Houdini
Tuesday, July 14, 6:30 pm - L’Illusionist
Tuesday, July 21, 6:30 pm - The Prestige
Doors open 6:00. Live magical performance by David Hirata starts at 6:30. Films begin at 7:00.
Magic and movies have gone hand-in-hand for over a century -- the films of yesteryear used stagecraft to create special effects on-screen that startled and baffled the audience. From the tricks of early filmmakers to the visual spectacles of today, cinema remains an art film built on illusion.
Join us at White Branches -- Mount Vernon's magical tearoom -- for three films that blend film and fantasy. White Branches is located at 100 E Montgomery St on the second floor of Mount Vernon’s historic Old Town Grainery building.
Before each film, David Hirata will be performing magic for attendees. David Hirata is a magician known for his imaginative and thoughtful presentational style. As resident magician at White Branches, he creates atmospheric, theatrical illusions in collaboration with his fellow White Branches artists. An avid student of Japanese magic history, his magic often bridges gaps between East and West, past and present. "Magic is about transformation," he says. "The experience of stage magic explores and celebrates our human capacity for wonder and change."
