New York’s beloved
children’s performer Mario
the Magician (http://

appearance on the current
(45th) season of Sesame
Street!
Mario will be featured in a
“magic school” segment
with Murray Monster in the
episode entitled “If Me Had
That Wand.” The episode will
have an original air date of
10
October 30, 2014 and will air
again on 11/4/14, 5/14/15,
and 7/23/15.
Mario the Magician is
known for his handmade
props, slapstick character,
and a very interesting
incorporation of electronic
elements into this show.
He’s not just a magician...
he is a true maker, and
he always aims to inspire
children to follow their

creative spirits. Working with
Sesame Street to create this
special segment has been a
highlight of his career and
life. We believe this may be
the first time a professional
magician has appeared on
Sesame Street since The
Amazing Randi’s appearance
on the pilot episode 45 years
ago!
