WEEKEND: Magician pulls up matinee in Port Townsend on Sunday

PORT TOWNSEND — Magician Joey Pipia’s “HeadTrip: The Mind Magic Show” keeps selling out: the Chameleon Theater filled up for evening shows in December, January and February. So he’s at it again, only earlier.

This Sunday, Pipia will do a “HeadTrip” matinee — something he says people have clamored for — at 2:30 p.m. at the Chameleon, 800 W. Park Ave. Tickets are $20 via brownpapertickets.com or by phoning 360-774-2202, while information awaits at www.JoeyPipia.com.

The magic man promises that it will have the same combination of mind-reading and vaudeville; it will also have his daughter and costar Phina Pipia, a musician and dancer in her own right.

“HeadTrip” opens with “an amazing, and original, piece of magic,” Pipia added. That’s the jumping-off point for the show, which also includes, at the very end, a revelation regarding more than one of the evening’s mysteries.

“Each of us has the power to create moments of wonder,” Pipia believes. He seeks to demonstrate just that in “HeadTrip.”
