ARTS PREVIEW: Spoken words, dancers and magic tricks at Fourthwall Salon

This past week has been legitimate winter hibernation weather. After a day spent wading through slushy pools of curbside filth, we all deserve to veg' out in the warm glow of a TV. But you can start to refill the old culture-o-meter (what? that's not what you call it?) with Fourthwall Salon's all-around artsy evening tomorrow, Sat., Jan. 29 at 7 p.m. With an impressive lineup of poets, visual artists, magicians, dancers, hip hop artists and DJs, it's hard to imagine a better place for the culture maven ... or those of us who can't concentrate on one show for two hours straight. Nina 'Lyrispect' Ball (above, left), award-winning poet and MC of the monthly open mic, The Harvest, will host the salon and maybe offer some verses alongside fellow spoken word artist Ms. Wise (above, center), a two-time Women of the World Poetry Slam finalist. West Philly hip-hop artist Jelani Mcmillan and DJ Supreme (above, right), also known as Grandmaster Supreme, will take the stage too. Another highlight of the night will be magician Ran'd Shine. In case you're not familiar with Shine's tricks, he's apparently a big deal in the magic biz. He has produced How to Write a Magic Show in a Week for the Philadelphia Fringe Festival and even baffled Obama with his tricks at a military ball. The salon will take place at the WHYY headquarters, 150 North Sixth St., $15 in advance and $20 at the door. You can check out the full lineup here.
