Boston Magic Lab

03/17/2026

The Rozzie Square Theater is undergoing renovations and transitioning to a new home. If you're able to, I'd love for you to check out their Kickstarter and consider supporting them.

The Rozzie was the Magic Lab's home for six years before we moved to the Foundry in Cambridge. It's where the first Magic Lab happened, where the first (virtual) Chemystery came to life, and where Lightning Round got its start.

The Rozzie shaped us in ways that go beyond the stage. Our values as a community are a direct reflection of theirs. And I (Felice!) personally have learned so much from watching how Courtney Pong leads.

The Magic Lab might not still be at the Rozzie today but I will always consider us to be a part of the same community.

Here's the Kickstarter:

Help us rebuild our home for comedy and connection. Same Great People. New Funny Place.

Magic Labs now kick off with close-up magic before the stage show. At Magic Lab: Pub Night, we had THREE magicians roving the pub sharing magic with people as they trickled in.

With underground card legend Tony Cabral managing this team of close-up performers, you're going to want to show up early to catch this show before the show.

March's Magic Lab featured magicians Nicholas Kerpan, Georgia Blunt, AND Tony Cabral himself.

Our very first ever Magic Lab: Pub Night is in the books! Last week's show brought together Magic Lab favorites, newcomers, and special guests -- all to Somerville/Cambridge/Boston.

(Who can tell the difference? Definitely not our guest out-of-state performers. Oops!)

And the magic was served alongside 's Irish pub fare and drinks! Thank you to for having us!

Two days until showtime!
And we are officially SOLD OUT!

Introducing Performer 5 of 5 of this sold out show:

Jim Vetter

Jim Vetter spent over 20 years performing internationally as a magician, mime, and actor -- from the streets of Harvard Square to Fisherman’s Wharf; to night clubs in Miami and Quito, Ecuador; to representing the United States at the Celebration ‘90 Gay Games Cultural Festival in Vancouver. Preview audiences have called Jim’s new one-person play, Keeping Secrets, “amazing,” “riveting,” “raw,” “funny,” “hopeful” and “should be on Netflix.”

Zach is a street performer, an emerging creator in the magic community, and The Boston Magic Lab's resident graphic designer. He's also one of our founding members and holds within his soul the experimental ethos of the Lab. He is back in town for his annual pilgrimage to the Lab -- and we can't wait to see what he's come up with this time.

Introducing Performer 3 of 5 -- and our headliner for this show:

Erik Tait

You might have seen him on Penn & Teller: Fool Us. You might have seen him on one of many prestigious stages around the world. He is an incredible magician AND an award-winning standup comedian.

What you may not know, though, if you aren't a magician, is that Erik Tait is a World Champion of Magic. He is only the fourth American to accomplish this and is the first American to stand on the podium for card magic in two decades.

What is a World Champion of Magic? Come to Magic Lab: Pub Night to find out!

Ryan combines his love of all things nerdy and geek with his passion for performing magic. Whether he performs at anime and comic cons, private shows, or community events, you will be drawn to his energy and performance, and he promises to leave you in a better mood after the show.

Now begins our countdown to the show. With six days to go, introducing Performer 1 of 5:

Jimmy Briggs

Jimmy started magic during the COVID-19 pandemic and is now celebrating five years as a magician! He credits the Boston Magic Lab community with his continued love of magic and performance. In warmer months, Jimmy works as a street magician in Harvard Square.

He's a last minute add in because one of our planned performers had something come up -- and it's always fun seeing Jimmy onstage.

Grab your tickets before they're gone!

Tyler Twombly and Tianna Seitz welcomed Magic Lab audience members into the space at our February Lab -- by performing magic up close.

As always, show up early to catch this intimate style of magic. It's one thing for magic to happen far away. It's another thing to experience the impossible happen right in your hands.

Our March 5 Magic Lab is also going to have close-up magic before the stage show! Come at 6pm for dinner and magic!

Magic Lab: Pub Night is approaching soon! If you're still on the fence about going, check out these photos from our February Magic Lab.

It was a night to remember. The first performer of this past Lab was the host of GBH's All Things Considered -- and he performed his dramatic set against the backdrop of the daily news. In this show we also debated if Abraham Lincoln was a magician (evidence: his hat), learned about the existence of giant rubber bands, closely avoided death by ice pick, dreamed a dream of a stage manager becoming a magician, played with wooden sticks, and went back to a time when we were just learning how to speak.
