NEW IN TAMPA BAY: ZUBRICK MAGIC THEATRE

Magic is in the air in St. Pete…literally! Award-winning illusionists Chris and Ryan Zubrick are opening a new magic theatre in the EDGE District where they’ll showcase a ‘kaleidoscope of sights, sounds and sensations never experienced before.’ “The dream of opening our own magic theater has been years in the making, from traveling the country to finding the perfect location to constructing the stage and ordering curtains,” says Chris Zubrick. “We were drawn to the vibrant arts and entertainment community in St. Petersburg and felt like opening our theater here would be a refreshing addition to the local scene.” “We have put so much time and love into this theater,” Ryan Zubrick says. “We couldn’t be more excited to finally perform again, something we’ve been doing since we were children.” Tickets start at $40 per person, plus taxes/fees for ages 4 and older. The first performance is July 29. The venue is located at 1211 First Ave. N. zubrickmagic.com
