What's it All About?
Vanishing Act was inspired in 2022, when professional magician Joey Pipia was diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease, a rare, inherited neurological condition for which scientists have not yet found a cure. The show is a chance to celebrate the joy of finding the “wow!” especially in life’s most challenging moments.
​
“Magic and art (and the magic of art) have been the tools my family has used to get through a very challenging few years” says Joey Pipia’s daughter, performer Phina Pipia, “creating art together is the best way we have of expressing joy and love. This show is a chance to celebrate that.”
All proceeds from Vanishing Act will go to the Huntington’s Disease Society of America, which is continuing to lead research to find a treatment for the disease.
