Antonio Díaz is headed to the Great White Way…
The 37-year-old Spanish illusionist, better known by his stage name El Mago Pop, is bringing his show to Broadway this summer, with a limited two-week engagement set for August.
Diaz, one of Europe’s highest grossing illusionists, will begin two weeks of performances at Broadway’s Ethel Barrymore Theatre on Thursday, August 17.
“Performing on Broadway has been a lifelong dream,” Díaz said in a statement, “and it will undoubtedly be the biggest challenge of my career. I am certain it will be a life altering experience that I will remember for the rest of time.”
Díaz is one of the most successful illusionists in Europe and is among Spain’s top grossing performers.
Nearly three million theater-goers have seen Díaz in performance, and his Netflix shows Magic for Humans and La Gran Ilusion are broadcast in nearly 200 countries.
El Mago Pop features Diaz’s close-up magic and, according to the announcement, “his most unusual & spectacular illusions.”
