You Will Be Thrilled

We were «mentalized» and charmed by this charismatic one man (plus assistant) show in a cozy New York only venue. Makes for a unique night out in Manhattan. Had plenty to discuss and theorize about afterwards at several nearby cocktail bars («how did he do that? or that?»). Highly recommend.

Super fun show! I was stumped by many of the tricks and found myself laughing throughout the show. Very intimate theater so you got a good look at all the tricks and it was easy to get picked as a volunteer.

I attended this show during opening weekend on February 8, 2014; it was their 2^nd night. It was a sold-​out show, and everyone was wondering if it was going to be a good show or not. My friend and I sat in the front row. I was very excited when I got called up to volunteer for an act.
The act: The mentalist picked a book from an audience member and had me flip to a page that another audience member called out. I then had to pick a word (more than 7 letters) and just think about the word. The mentalist would then draw what I was thinking.
To be honest, I am very skeptical of magicians as I think a lot of them are either super cheesy or just plain bad so when he chose me, I was convinced that he was not going to guess my word since no one saw the word except for me. Amazingly, he drew the word that I was thinking and then guessed my word based on his own drawing (the word was «firework»). Everyone was in disbelief. He had me flip through the book until the audience told me to stop and then had me pick another word on the page (again more than 7 letters). Again, he correctly drew and guessed my word (the word was «sunset»). Astonishing!
He also did another performance that I really liked. He put a man and his wife in chairs about 6 feet apart and had them close their eyes. He tapped the man’s shoulder 3 times and touched his nose once. He went over by the woman but never touched her. He then had the woman tell us where he tapped her and she correctly guessed how many times her husband was tapped and where he was tapped. Wow is the only word to say!
I am not sure if my descriptions even do justice to the acts, but either way I would definitely recommend this show to anyone. I heard that there will be another performance in May so I plan on seeing the show again, and I am bringing more friends.

Words cannot describe how terribly awful this show was. I think we should have been paid to sit through this painful thing that is not even reminiscent of a magic show. The «tricks» were so obvious a 2 year old could have done them (and performed better.) seriously it is a scam. At 40 dollars per ticket you are literally giving away your money to some guy who expects you to applaud at his measly attempts to wow the audience. He is also super rude and awkward. Ugh. It was just. So. So. So. Bad.

This was a great show. So much fun and the tricks were pretty amazing. Afterwards we couldn’t stop asking each other «how did he do that?!» This is a really fun show to see on a date. I highly recommend it!
