Magic of The Steelgraves

The Steelgraves will make a rare Maine public appearance as a benefit for Jefferson Village School’s Blessings in a Backpack program. The Steelgraves’ show will feature adorable animals, unique and amazing illusions, a sprinkling of good-natured audience participation, and just the right amount of hilarity. Markus and Angelique Steelgrave partnered in 2002 and were married in 2006. Magic continues to be their full-time profession, and The Steelgraves, as they are known professionally, give hundreds of performances each year, mainly out of state. They have won several awards for both stage and close-up magic, and have been headliners at magic conventions around the U.S. For the past 11 years, The Steelgraves have been the featured family entertainers for the Red Jacket Resorts on Cape Cod, where they perform for most of the summer. In Maine, TV appearances include “The Nite Show with Danny Cashman” and “Good Day Maine.” In addition to performing, The Steelgraves are the founders and producers of Oceanside Magic International, a convention for amateur and professional magicians that takes place on Cape Cod each April (see oceansidemagic.com for more information). They are also members of the Society of American Magicians and the International Brotherhood of Magicians. Markus and Angelique Steelgrave live in East Waterboro with their large menagerie of animals — but they have no children, so it all evens out.
