“Taxi Magic” is a high energy, fun-filled show of Magic, Puppetry and Shadow Theatre.

Marie, the tour guide, takes Henry The Hilarious Hallucinist, from Brixton, England, on a tour of Cape Town in her taxi. Henry is here to perform his first outdoor magic show.

Carlo Penso saw his first puppet show at school. It was an African version of “Beauty and the Beast” by CAPAB PUPPET COMPANY. A few years later the puppet bug bit and he hasn’t looked back.  He has been a member of the Puppet Society, Unima SA, since 1996. he graduated from the College of Magic in 2004, and then went on to graduate from the New Africa Theatre Academy in 2005. As a member of The Upliftment Programme for the past  five years, he has been involved in Laughter Workshops and visits hospital regularly as a Care Clown, bringing laughter and joy to the very sick.

Carlo is a multi-talendted performer, turning 24 in 2010. “Taxi Magic” is his latest creatin which combines all his passions and skills, and promises a toe-tapping, lekker time for the whole family.
