Magician, inventor, and master of robo-fueled slapstick, Mario the Maker Magician pops into the Fun Kids studio during his London run – and we’re seriously starstruck.

Fresh from his performances at venues like the Sydney Opera House and Broadway, Mario brings us into a world of handmade robots, modern slapstick comedy, and magic that’s for everyone – whether you’re three or 103.

George sits down with Mario to explore why every show should be for every person, and how Mario creates magic for YOU.
