Welcome to Magic Up Close - fascinating chats with artists from around the globe. We're thrilled to kick off this series with one of our favorite performers on the planet, Zabrecky.

To know Zabrecky is to love Zabrecky. For the uninitiated, Zabrecky is strange, spooky, funny and, let's be honest, sexy like a diamond. He doesn't do a traditional magic show, more like a surrealist celebration of storytelling, music and mind reading. You may just be inspired to embrace the strange in ways you have never attempted before.
