Divine Spirits
Magic is intoxicating.
Think magic doesn’t happen over Zoom? Melissa Brooke and Mark Clearview will make a believer out of you yet.
Part cocktail class, part magic act, and part comedy show, Divine Spirits combines hand-crafted cocktails with sleight-of-hand magic to create an evening you won’t soon forget.
About the Experience
Every show begins with Melissa teaching the audience how to mix the episode’s bespoke cocktail. The particular herbs, flowers, plants, and spices Melissa chooses for the libation then serve as inspiration for Mark’s head-spinning interactive magic. It's quite a dizzying — and delicious — combination.
Divine Spirits runs for roughly 60 minutes and is accessed via Zoom.
This show is a co-production with Divine Spirits.
Meet Your Hosts
Mark Clearview is a world record–holding magician whose talents have earned him headlining slots at NYC’s Caroline’s on Broadway and Hollywood’s Magic Castle, as well as high profile clientele like Rami Malek, Usher, Seth Rogen, and Michael J. Fox. (About that world record: his two-week fundraising performance, Escaping Parkinson’s, earned him the title for the “Longest Amount of Time Wearing a Straitjacket.”)
Melissa Brooke has served as a mixologist, head bartender and beverage manager for several noteworthy NYC venues. In addition to working with premium liquor brands to create concept cocktails, she also curates cocktails for exclusive events throughout NYC. Currently the in-house Spirit Whisperer at the Michelin Star award-winning Musket Room, she loves personalizing cocktails for guests using unconventional tactics, such as astrological sign and name etymology, for inspiration.
