John Shryock Live in Glenside: Close-Up Magic and Comedy March 2026 | Theater | Events

John Shryock’s touring show arrives in Glenside, Pennsylvania, bringing two nights of close-up magic and stand-up comedy on March 6-7, 2026. The performance takes place in an intimate theater setting, where low lights and a small stage focus attention on sleight of hand. Shryock blends astonishing card work, clever coin routines, and phone-based effects into conversational bits that provoke both laughter and surprise. Audience interaction is essential; volunteers become collaborators, and every table can become a front-row laboratory for astonishment. What makes this show notable for locals and visitors alike is its human-scale energy: this isn’t a spectacle swallowed by a big venue, but an evening where timing, craft, and audience chemistry drive the experience. Glenside’s tree-lined streets and the nearby Wissahickon Valley offer a pleasant pre-show walk, and the suburban setting contrasts nicely with the tight focus on performance. Key features include close-up sleight of hand, deft misdirection, improvisational comedy, and direct audience engagement. Expect short prop sets, rapid-fire gags, and moments of genuine wonder. Shryock’s experience of more than twenty years of sold-out dates informs pacing and polish, delivering a show that rewards attention and participation. Practical details: arrive early to find street parking or hop the regional rail into Glenside; expect casual dress, bring a charged phone for after-show photos, and silence cameras during tricks. The running time is about two hours with an intermission, and the listing indicates ages sixteen and up. Local visitors will appreciate how the show pairs with dinner at nearby restaurants and an evening stroll under mature street trees. For travelers, the attraction is compact, high-quality entertainment that fits into a single night itinerary. Why book? For curious adults who value close performance, handcrafted technique, and communal laughter, this event delivers memorable interactions. It highlights how skilled performance can transform a small room into something electrifying, and it underscores Glenside’s role as a regional cultural stop for touring comedians and magicians.
