My wife and I had a great time at this show. The tricks were all well done and both gentlemen were really funny. They did one trick where they linked my wedding ring with two other guys' rings, and I have been trying to figure it out ever since. If you are looking for a fun, local show, you can't beat it!

My husband and I spent a week's vacation in DC doing touristy things, but I thought this show would be something different for a change of pace. I bought tickets for the show before we left home because the reviews sounded pretty good. I was expecting something close to a Las Vegas show....big venue, large audience, mood lighting, round tables with seat assignments, drinks for sale, etc. But I was sadly mistaken. This show took place in a lower level meeting room of the Mayflower Hotel. Very casual atmosphere, maybe 50-75 people in attendance, self-serve ice water available. The show itself was decent, the magicians' tricks were very good, and their humor added a little something extra to the show. The audience participation seemed authentic to me and not staged. Overall, it was a nice show, but I'm not sure that it was worth the $50 per ticket price that I paid.

Thanks for your comments. We are very proud of the many, many 5-star reviews we have received; I'm sorry if they gave you expectations of a different kind of show. I don't see any photos on our TripAdvisor page that would lead you to expect a venue different than our ballroom home in The Mayflower Hotel. I do see several photos showing theater seating, our stage and the type of magic we do (no tigers or dancers). I'm sorry our venue disappointed you, but it remains one of the prestige hotels in DC and our ticket prices reflect our high overhead.
