Magic Returns to the Fringe!


A magic Saturday to highlight Halloween Month comes to the Indy Fringe Theatre. If you have any interest in magic, this is a day you don't want you or your family to miss.

The Williams Magic Caravan of Tucson, AZ, a magic shop on wheels, is coming to Indianapolis, Oct. 15, 2012. It's going to be parked at the Indy Fringe Theatre, 719 E. St. Clair, at the intersection of Massachusetts Ave., College Ave. and E. St. Clair. Over 1,000 items of magic including magic kits, props, books, and other items will be available for sale to magicians and the public. It will be open from 1 PM to 3 PM. Following at 4:30, a magic show that will benefit the local Society of American Magicians will be presented at the Indy Fringe Theatre. 

Starring Taylor Martin as Colonial magician "Rodney The Younger" it offers families a fun hour of magic, mystery, and mirth. Billed as "History with something up it's sleeve!" Taylor's show was recently featured at The Feast of the Hunter's Moon in Lafayette, IN and Marion, Indiana's Mississinewa 1812. Considered one of the finest magic shows of it's kind, you'll love seeing the old tricks, the comedy, and the history. As Rodney says, "Have you seen the new tricks? They ain't that good."  The show will be introduced by S.A.M. #31 President Steve Spence. And following the show, the Caravan will have magic sets available for anyone that is interested in magic.


Tickets are just $10 for adults and $8 for anyone under 14 or over 65. The show is just one hour and will bring you magic you may never see again.

Talking with Taylor Martin - Andrea Merlyn's Book of Secrets: Vol. II

During the build-up to the 2011 IndyFringe Festival, IndyFringeTalk interviewed some of the key performers to get some insight into their stories, their audience and the Fringe itself. Here is what happened when we sat down with Andrea Merlyn's Book of Secrets: Vol. II's Taylor Martin. 


If you could present your show to just one person, who would it be and why?
Teller of Penn and Teller, because he's never gotten to see an Andrea Merlyn show live. He's a mentor and a friend. Plus, he's written a hit off-Broadway play that started as a Fringe show. "Play Dead" by Todd Robbins and Teller.

List 3 words that truly sum up your show.
Glamorous, magic and fun

What is the best way for theater-goers to stay informed about your latest productions?

My website at indymagicmonthly.com or checking out the latest news on my sponsor's website daddyreal.com.

How does fringe theater benefit you as a theater artist?

I would never have started Indy Magic Monthly without it. Having become the face of the Fringe in the first 3 years, it's made me a minor celebrety and I don't have to do my shows in bars where folks never shut up and don't really give a shit about what I'm doing. Only Phil The Void and I have been in every Indy Fringe Festival with a show.

What is the funniest line in your play?
I will not answer that as it will spoil the surprise. You never ask a magician their secrets.

Where do you see yourself in a year’s time?

Agonizing over another Fringe show, or in a hospital fixing my herniated disk. I'm playing hurt this year.

Why IndyFringe?
Because after my experience with Orlando Fringe and losing nearly $4,000 over 2 years, I can make money here. There's 2 words to "show business" and only one is "show."
