The Magic Duel, DC's #1 Comedy Show

Overview
Ready for live entertainment? 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?  You, the audience, will decide.  The Magic Duel has earned 4 consecutive 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 political humor but without the "raunchiness" of most comedy clubs - and it is in a beautiful venue so you can dress up and have a spectacular evening out.

What a joke, and I'm not talking funny. It was obviously staged with who would be choosen out of the audience. It started funny and got worse once it went. Simple tricks that were prestaged even though the impression was someone in the audience picked the topic. Not worth the price and I would not recommend it. Complete waste of money

Obviously, everyone has their own thoughts on what is funny and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Your one-star review, however, is so out of character with all our other reviews, I have to think we must have said or done something to personally offend you. I wish you had spoken with us right away at the show or that you had contacted us directly to discuss the issue. I hope you will contact us directly to tell us exactly what led to this extreme review and, hopefully, to clear up any misunderstanding. [email protected]

We really enjoyed The Magic Duel! Both magicians' tricks were amazing to watch and they were also funny, playing off each other. They did a great job of involving the audience in the show.
