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!

Based on reviews we saw in advance, it seemed like a sure bet for a good show. We were a little apprehensive when we arrived, as it was a bit hard to find the proper room in the Mayflower Hotel and, when we did, it looked like it was going to be a sparse crowd in a way-too-big room. But, more folks came and it was just fine. The show started out a bit slow, we thought, but picked up quickly and we ended up thoroughly enjoying ourselves and being suitably amazed and entertained. Time and not-that-much money well spent!

This was our introduction to a "magic show." Very audience specific, great for kids, and interactive. We thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Great for a quick date.....but we went as a married couple. The sleight of hand was very good.

Terrific & inventive show (haven't seen magicians duel/compete before). Fun, witty banter, and great magic tricks, as well as interactive. Both parents & our kids enjoyed it greatly, nice way to cap off the day. I'd highly recommend to any & all ages, couples & families alike.
