Eli the Teen Champion Magician to perform @ Maumee Branch, June 11
ABRACADABRA!!! The Toledo-Lucas County Public Library’s Maumee Branch will be filled with excitement next Monday, June 11, 2012 as Eli Portala, 16, a teen champion magician, performs his show, Magic & Comedy with Eli! at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of the branch located at 501 River Rd., Maumee.
Andrew Martin, a local magician for some 40 years and father of Eli, encouraged the Toledo School for the Arts student to get involved in the business at a young age, and the rest is history. Today, Eli is considered a Junior Magic Champion, and recently returned from a trip to Rome where he appeared on La Grande Magia – The Illusionist, an American Idol-type television competition for magicians. He was invited to compete on the show after Italian producers, in search of magicians under the age of 30, saw young Eli at a magic seminar in Las Vegas.
