The Mad Magician

From scene veterans and Archfront Media owners John Mancuso and Jason Rottler comes a new spot for rock, punk, metal and hip-hop to play. The Mad Magician gets its name from the mid '50s thriller film of the same name, paying homage to starring actor and St. Louisan Vincent Price. The venue's open floor plan features plenty of standing room and a huge stage manned with a blindingly colorful light show in rainbow hues. Mancuso hopes to bring in national artists (Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony, Method Man but are a few of the acts he's booked in the past) while giving locals the opportunity to open.
