JAROL MARTIN – https://youtu.be/Kk0HwKwMV78

Born in Cuba, Jarol Martin felt a great interest in the secrets of illusion and the performance of magic.  At the age of thirteen, he was accepted in “La Casa de la Cultura,” (The House of Culture) that is a place where talent is nurtured. He then began his career as a magician. A credit to his skills, he was selected for a cultural project/tour that would take him all over his native country.  On this tour, he was selected as the “Artist of the Year.” From there, he created and performed in variety shows all over Central and South America. With great acclaim, he was chosen to appear in Las Vegas in a show called “Tropiclaisimo.”  Once discovered there, he has been ever so busy in the USA and Europe.

 

For the “umpteenth time” producer and director RG Smith will be the Master of Ceremonies and tour guide for the show.  In addition to keeping things moving and bringing old jokes back to our stage, he will give you a chance to win at a quick game of BINGO.  Make sure you get your free BINGO cards----1 each, please----and let’s have fun.  The game starts right after intermission.
