Fun experience for all! - Recommend as a fun thing to do outside of the historic DC tourist activities. Geared a little bit more towards adults, at least the jokes are. However, nothing inappropriate just topically advanced like covert Simpsons jokes. I took my 10 year old and she loved it.

Two Comedic Magicians are ready to entertain. - The two comedic Magicians are very skilled and come ready to entertain. The show is full of unique and catchy one liners as well as little quips throughout to allow humor to be the dressing on this lovely set of audience selected categories of magic they select to see. After the elected categories are determined, one at a time, the two entertainers weave their wonderful magic right before your eyes, usually causing shock and awe for the crowd actively participating. If you appreciate skill that is so refined, it is invisible and made look easy while laughing your way through the 90 minutes, then this is the act you will love. The only slight negative is the musty smell of the lower level within the ancient Mayflower fancy hotel in NW D.C. Otherwise, come ready to let loose, participate, laugh, be pleasantly surprised at this highly skilled demonstration of a variety of magic that is NOT cheap trick-based.

Side-splitting magical comedy - I can't remember when I have laughed so hard. This description is for a "comedy show" but it's more an entertaining and sometimes jaw-dropping magic show with a LOT of laughs and audience participation. Very highly recommended for all ages.

A MUST SEE MAGIC EXPERIENCE! - Surprisingly amazing show. We went for a girls night out and were all hoping it would be fun. WOW was this show incredible! The “magicians” are skilled, great actors and comedians, and at their core is just jaw droppingly great mentalism and magic tricks. You will NOT be able to figure out how they do it! They are inclusive, funny, and brilliant. A MUST SEE!!

A must see you wont be disappointed - Audience participation fun, the tricks were varied and very well done. The format makes it fun since the magicians have to compete and they have good banter with each other as well as with the audience.

will definitely see this one again! - When I return for another visit this is one I am definitely going to see again. You get to see the tricks up close, and the banter between the magicians keeps it fun. Also the magicians are pros for sure, I have seen a lot of these kinds of acts. pro tip try to get seats on the aisles or near the front so you can participate.
