“The Mighty Mini” Family-friendly magical entertainment

Dreams and Imagination. When was the last time you just let yourself dream? If it’s been awhile, you might need a little magic to help rekindle that spark. Join the Mighty Mini for an evening of fun, wonder and more than a little silliness. Lauren (the Mighty Mini) loves entertaining families and has been performing magic since 2004. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is a kids show though. Classics illusions such as Houdini’s famous trunk escape, Metamorphosis and Blackstone’s Dancing Hank are likely to be seen. And if you are brave enough, the Mighty Mini just might saw you in half! Join us for some good, clean fun and dare to Dream. Imagine and Believe..
Lauren, the magician is 11 years old and loves doing her magic show for the benefit of others. The proceeds of these shows at the Historic Homestake Opera house will not only support our restoration efforts but will be split with the National Alliance for Mental Illness to further thier works.
