Andrew Pinard: Discovering Magic at Players' Ring Theatre

Description

Ever since he was a little boy, Andrew Pinard has wondered about the world and marveled at the ways people interact with it and each other. He has spent (some may say wasted—sorry, Mom!) much of his life seeking answers only to find more questions. Along the way he has picked up some interesting answers, some odd stories and some truly unusual skills. For the last quarter of a century, he has entertained audiences around the world with a truly unique blend of mind blowing sleight of hand, con games, psychology, history, science, comedy, cognitive development, political spin, and more.

When Discovering Magic last appeared in December at The Player’s Ring it played to sold out houses. Back for a second “annual” series of shows, this “mind-numbing, jaw-dropping, eye-opening” experience takes audiences on a guided tour of the impossible and the absurd. Using only the most ordinary of objects, accomplished actor, conjuror, puppeteer, storyteller, and award-winning performer Andrew Pinard brings the ordinary to life with the most surprising results. The only show of its kind in the New England, audiences have traveled from throughout New England to experience sleight of hand, con games, psychology, history, science, comedy, cognitive development, political spin, and more through the eyes of a “perceptual engineer” on his quest to explore distortion and guile. Culled from his popular monthly performances elsewhere and abroad, Andrew has put together a whole new show for 2015 guaranteed to please audiences.
