Guadalajara – In the historical city center
We wish also to mention an after-show party hosted by one of the main sponsors, the owner of the daily newspaper “El Informador”. What a superb traditional yet modern Mexican villa, built for a cosy life, looking like a modern art gallery and also including a “room” for monkeys. The hosts and their other guests are more than welcoming. Everyone wants to know everything about each magician.
* Mirko is not only a good friend. He is a talented and sensitive artist-magician. Since our first meeting in the Venezuelan tour in 2002 he calls us his “Mom and Dad” in magic. Really, a true emotional feeling.
