Nate Staniforth: Real Magic — October 5

Magician Neil Staniforth leaves behind the accepted, conventional ways of performing magic tricks and instead focuses on appealing to his audience’s intellect and imagination. His aim is to revive the childish amazement magic incites in what, no matter what age: “It’s about trying to see things the way you saw them before they became ordinary,” he says. Staniforth will be performing at The Dock at 8:00 PM. Tickets start at $12.

Maria Bamford — October 7

Comedian Maria Bamford, who stars in Netflix comedy series Lady Dynamite, will be at the State Theatre of Ithaca. She has voiced characters in series like BoJack Horseman, Adventure Time and Legend of Korra. Tickets are $37.
