Mar. 4—Looking for a little more magic in your everyday life? Check out next week's Celebrities of Magic performance at the Gaslight Melodrama.

On Monday, David Kovac, who specializes in combining comedy with cleverly crafted magic, will perform as part of the local magic series.

A self-described "modern day vaudevillian," Kovac has performed at Los Angeles' famed Magic Castle and internationally at venues in Japan, Australia, South America and the Caribbean.
