Master Magician Maritess Zurbano takes audiences into her magic memoir. This dramatic journey redefines magic by decolonizing it. Follow her quest for answers as she uses humor, world-class magic, and audience particpation to tell this true story.

“Today Zurbano's magic act is about taking back power, exerting that power over her audience, and owning the sexual overtones...”  Bust Magazine

“With her street-smart stage presence, dazzling illusions, and great sense of humor, Maritess redefines magic for a hip new multicultural age,” David Henry Hwang, Tony-Award-winning playwright, M. Butterfly

Maritess Zurbano is the only Filipina-American magician and hypnotist in history. She is a former Las Vegas croupier, former member of a professional baccarat team, and had her own illusion show in Japan.
