David Corsaro Live at Smoke & Mirrors in Glenside – Feb 2027 Magic Show

Smoke & Mirrors Theater at The House of Magic (101 S. Easton Rd, Glenside Pa, 19038) is a compact performance room east of Philadelphia where sleight of hand and theatrical illusion land with the force of a surprise. David Corsaro—an off‑Broadway regular and performer at the Magic Castle in Los Angeles who fooled Penn & Teller—takes this stage for two nights on February 5th and 6th, 2027. The showtime is 8pm and tickets range from $40 to $55, offering an accessible, high-quality night out for visitors and locals alike. The location is intimate: a low proscenium, close rows of seating, stage lighting that isolates each movement and a lobby that smells faintly of old wood and coffee. Key features of the scene include the raised stage, the velvet curtain, and the proximity of audience to performer, which turns standard illusions into shared moments of disbelief. Expect a mix of stand-up illusion, close-up magic, and interactive segments that recruit audience members into the routines. That kind of proximity reveals technical details that large theaters hide, so the show feels immediate and personal. David Corsaro’s résumé connects this neighborhood theater to the broader world of contemporary magic. His appearance on the television show Penn & Teller: Fool Us and his runs in multiple New York productions and at the Magic Castle in Hollywood give the evening cultural weight; you’re seeing tricks refined on big stages but presented in a close, local setting. The program emphasizes polished technique, timing, and humor more than shock, making it suitable for mature teenagers and adult audiences. Practicalities matter: the meeting point is Smoke & Mirrors Theater at The House of Magic, and the exact address is listed above. Street parking and small nearby lots are common—watch signage for restrictions. The small footprint makes early arrival important for preferred seating and for guests who need accessible seating options; ask the box office during booking. Cameras and recording are typically restricted during performance, so enjoy the moments live and capture postshow photos in the lobby. For travelers basing themselves in Greater Philadelphia, the show is an efficient evening event that pairs well with nearby dining in Glenside. It’s a reminder that powerful performance can happen in modest spaces: a single practiced hand, precise misdirection, and tight audience focus turn a suburban theater into a generous stage for astonishment. Book ahead—this kind of close-in magic fills fast. When booking, reference the specific show dates and inquire about accessibility and parking. Consider combining the evening with a nearby craft brewery or late dinner to extend the night. Local hosts often share after-show tips and will point you to public transit options that simplify getting back to Philadelphia or surrounding suburbs.
