Allan, a British magician known for building technology into his tricks, uses live video so the whole room can see close-up magic, then scales up to stage illusions. It is designed as a family-friendly show with plenty of audience interaction. If you need a crowd-pleaser for mixed ages in Midtown, this is an easy pick.
What to expect
A mid-size off-Broadway theater with screens, lighting effects and volunteers invited onstage. Expect a fast-paced mix of card magic, mentalism and big reveals. Close-up tricks are shown on big screens, so even seats near the back see every card move.
