Renaissance character magic and comic shell-game theatre
An “honestly dishonest” Renaissance character turns sleight of hand into a comic encounter.
Doc Yoder / Sylvan FareLight
Doc Yoder’s Sylvan FareLight character presents a theatrical three-shell game, improvisation, magic and storytelling in Renaissance costume. His own page explicitly includes performances at weddings and reunions on faire grounds, while his main site also advertises private-party and wedding magic.
Current location note / listed area: Lancaster, Pennsylvania; private bookings and festival appearances by inquiry
The shell game is described as comic performance, not a promise of gambling or prizes. Confirm which character format can travel to your venue: the specific Renaissance wedding offer describes faire or festival grounds.
