Local Magician and Artist Pitches Online to Raise Funds Independently Dominik Krzanowski, magician, artist & technician, turns to alternative funding sources for his latest show, The Accidental Insight of Sebastian Kraine. The show, over ten years in the making, is an ongoing experiment in live theater to see if the traditional approach to theater can be redefined and expanded. Krzanowski takes the audience on an indescribable experience that changes their perceptions and views of their world leaving them inspired. He says, “It’s a hero’s journey of self discovery. The show uses magic to tell the story and not as an end in itself.
