Maritess Zurbano and Forest Ember: Magic, Hypnosis, and Comedy

Magic Hits Different from a Woman: A Magic, Hypnosis, and Comedy Show!

The Maritess Zurbano and Forest Ember Magic, Hypnosis, and Comedy show is produced by and stars Maritess Zurbano and Forest Ember. Join us for this interactive, intimate night of comedy, psychic entertainment, and sleight-of-hand. Arrive ready to play, or just sit back and enjoy.
Maritess Zurbano is a master magician, a Filipina-American author, playwright, and performer. She was nominated for her sleight-of-hand skills at the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques International Competition, and starred in her own illusion show in Japan. Zurbano’s opinions of the magic world are published as editorials for Ms. Magazine and The Seattle Times.

Her wry and unique show about searching for family in the white-male-dominated tradition of Las Vegas magic has been produced off-Broadway in New York at Ars Nova, The NYC International Fringe Festival and in dramaturg collaboration with The Public Theater NYC.

Forest Ember is a formerly incarcerated Lebanese American comedian.
Her high-energy variety shows are laced with wordplay, wit, and a sprinkle of magic. You might also have seen her starring in the award-winning documentary Punderneath It All, a cheeky look at the world of Pun Slams, and a nod to her growing Pun Empire. Forest is a true character—a self quoter who is easy to laugh, hard to impress, and ready for fun in all its forms.

Known for her unique flair and heart-string-plucking energy that she brings to every performance. Forest is the creative force behind cult comedy hits such as Fun Intended Punslam . She invites you to laugh, ponder, and perhaps even discover a little about yourself along the way.
This ninety minute cabaret is limited to fifty seats. Regiter early.
