The Magic Duel, DC's #1 Comedy Show

Overview

Two skilled magicians battle for the title of DC's Best, performing seriously funny magic with audience involvement from start to finish. Who will win? That's just one of many surprises, and you, the audience, will decide. The Magic Duel has earned multiple TripAdvisor Certificates of Excellence and a 5-star rating on Yelp.

An upscale alternative to the traditional comedy club, The Magic Duel is filled with laughs and snarky humor but without the "raunchiness" of most comedy clubs - and it is in a family friendly venue so you can bring the whole family for a spectacular evening out. Comedy doesn't have to smell like spilled beer and stale chicken nuggets!

My wife and I went to see the show on November 2, 2024. It was well-paced and very enjoyable. The two performers engaged the audience and kept people entertained throughout. They had an easy banter and patter that never sounded canned. Be aware that they encourage audience participation, but they make it easy and not embarrassing. I strongly encourage anyone that enjoys magic and comedy to attend

Terrific show! Pleasantly surprising and exceeded expectations. Not really a "duel" as it's more chummy and cooperative, and overall a great experience I can recommend without hesitation.
