Marko Karvo

Suomen kansainvälisesti menestynein ja tunnustettu taikuri maailman huipulta!

Marko Karvo on esiintynyt yhdessä maailman tunnetuimmista yökerhoista Pariisin Lidossa. Hän esitti ensimmäisen taikurinumeron 15:een vuoteen Lidon 50-vuotisessa historiassa. Show kestää vain kymmenen minuuttia, mutta se on ilotulitusta, yllätyksiä yllätysten perään. Pääsosassa ovat komeat linnut. Aina vain upeampia ja värikkäämpiä papukaijoja pujahtaa esiin vuoroin hihasta, vuoroin huivin laskoksesta. Matka ruotsinlaivoilta Lidoon on vaatinut vuosien sitkeän työn. Läpimurto tapahtui Monte Carlossa, ammattitaikureiden kutsukilpailussa, josta hänet keksittiin Lidoon. Show-ihmiset tietävät, että Lido edustaa edelleenkin varmaa nousua alan huipputekijöiden joukkoon. Edelliset Lidossa esiintyneet taikurit ovat nyt miljonäärejä ja oman shown omistajia Las Vegasissa.
