CodyHAC

Saturday, October 15
7:00pm
Highview Arts Center, 7406 Fegenbush Ln
(Next to Highview Hardware)

Louisville has long been a capital for the art of magic. We have a vibrant magic club, storied magic shops like Caufield's and J&B Magic Shop, and many magic legends such as Lance Burton, Mac King, and Steve Bargatze. But it's been far too long since Louisvillians have had a place to regularly see the regions best magicians at an affordable ticket price.

That's about to change! Starting Sat. Oct. 15th at 7 PM in the brand new Highview Arts Center, Louisville based professional magician and autistic self-advocate Cody Clark is bringing back this particular tradition with the first ever "Cody & Friends - A Magical Variety Show". These shows will feature the best magicians and variety artists whom also happen to be Cody's friends.

In this first edition, Cody's starting out with his best friends in Louisville magic. Your lineup includes 2022 Kentucky State Fair Talent Contest semi-finalist James McKnight, 2021 Louisville Magic Club Close-up Magic Contest winner Sid Marvelous, and husband-wife magic duo and 2020 Louisville Magic Club Magic Bag Challenge Winners Smoke & Mirrors. Plus Cody himself will emcee and share the routines his audiences know and love.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased here or at the door. Doors open at 6:30 PM, come early for open mic walk-around magic from the Louisville Magic Club.
