P3 Magic Theater

P3 Magic Theater is the video production studio for Las Vegas-based Penguin Magic, the world’s largest retailer of magic tricks. The folks at P3 make instructional videos for magicians. Every Tuesday night, they bring some of the best magicians in the world to perform a free event, right here in Columbus. The events are the brainchild of Columbus magician Dan Harlan, whose goal is to perform every trick in the 1928 Tarbell Course in Magic, the eight-volume authoritative source of magic for all professional and aspiring magicians. He pulled back the curtain for us to share some of his industry secrets.
