The finale of the Liberty Magic @ Home series if July 3 and features mentalist Asi Wind.

The event will be hosted by Zoe Ruth, venue manager of Liberty Magic, Downtown Pittsburgh.

“We are looking forward to celebrating 10 weeks of innovative online programming full of laughter and magic with them,” Ruth said. “Both magicians challenge the traditional stereotypes of what a magician looks like, sounds like and acts like, helping us to imagine new and different ways to see magic as a tool for storytelling.”
