Zak Mirz: Kid @ Heart
Magic and Illusions
Thursday January 22

Zak Mirz is a Dallas–Fort Worth–based magician and storyteller whose work combines sleight of hand with personal narrative. Over the past decade, he has toured internationally with his live show Flashes of Magic, presenting illusions alongside humor and storytelling. His work has also taken him behind the scenes as a magic advisor for David Blaine: The Magic Way and onto the stage of Penn & Teller: Fool Us!.
Beyond performance, Mirz uses his craft to support anti-human-trafficking efforts through a custom-designed deck of cards that raises awareness and funds, underscoring his commitment to using magic with purpose.
