George Tovar ! Producer & Host
In his teens, Tovar was amongst a chosen few selected to be a member of
The Magic Castle’s Junior Program. He went on to become a regular
performer at the world-famous Magic Castle for over 40 years and
is a past nominee for Magician of the Year
honors in the Magic
Castle’s Parlour of Prestidigitation. Tovar has also regularly performed
in Las Vegas, on cruise ships, and in magic theatres throughout the U.S.
Along with being a magician, he is also an actor and has appeared on stage
and screen as a magician on shows such as
Alias, Murder She Wrote,
Chicken Soup for the Soul, and
The Great Magic of Las Vegas.
Steve Branham | Co-Host
Steve has been performing for over 20 years and has worked with many of the biggest names in magic. His superb sleight of hand and his brilliant tricks are sure to leave you amazed. His blend of comedy and award-winning magic will have you laughing.
Attention: The show is not intended for children under the age of 6 unless they can sit quietly and without distraction to the Magicians.
George Tovar, a longtime member of Theatre West and The Magic Castle, started Millennium Magic in 1999. He came up with the idea of asking some of his magician friends to donate their time and talent to a fundraiser for Theatre West. The fundraiser was so popular and successful that he made it an annual event.
Several years later, George was cast in a play that went on tour, and he left L.A. for a few years. Jeanine Anderson was approached to take over producing the fundraiser because she is also a Magic Castle member and a member of Theatre West. This was a blessing for Theatre West because the show continued for several years until George returned to L.A., and they agreed to co-produce and co-host.
This year, George will co-host with Steven Banham, a longtime friend and fellow magician. All the funds raised at the Magic Show will go towards Theatre West's mission to continue serving artists and the community. The funds help Theatre West, an L.A. theatrical gem that has been creating art on stage for 63 years — fifty-two of those years in the exact location on Cahuenga Blvd. West near Universal Studios.
Note: The show is suitable for all ages except babies and toddlers.
