Maritess Zurbano, The Intuitionist "Today Zurbano's magic act is about taking back power, exerting that power over her audience, and owning the sexual overtones..." --Bust Magazine Maritess Zurbano is a master magician, a Filipina-American author, playwright, and performer. She was nominated for her sleight-of-hand skills at the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques International Competition, and starred in her own illusion show in Japan. Zurbano's opinions of the magic world are published as editorials for Ms. Magazine and The Seattle Times. Her wry and unique show about searching for belonging in the male-dominated tradition of Las Vegas magic has been produced off-Broadway in New York at Ars Nova, The NYC International Fringe Festival and in dramaturg collaboration with The Public Theater NYC. "Zurbano is urban sophistication with an edge…" - New York Newsday
