special toast to the trees raffle

The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust generously donated our special Toast to the Trees party raffle prize, two VIP Skeleton Keys to a Liberty Magic Performance at The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s Liberty Magic Theater and a complimentary parking pass. Liberty Magic is a space dedicated to elevating the art of magic. Located at 811 Liberty Ave, on the same block where Harry Houdini mesmerized Pittsburgh crowds in 1916, Liberty Magic is an intimate, speakeasy performance space dedicated to the art of sleight of hand and prestidigitation. With less than 70 seats in four rows, the magicians and performers who appear at Liberty Magic offer you a one-of-a-kind experience that is easy to access and hard to forget.

The first two rows of the theater are reserved for the truly adventurous. The VIP Skeleton Key Experience unlocks these first two rows in the intimate Liberty Magic Theater, as well as a chance to become part of the performance (if you wish) and an exclusive meet-and-greet with the artist after the show, which includes private, close-up tricks. Members of the VIP Skeleton Key Experience also have the opportunity to purchase merchandise not available for sale to the general public.
