"Magic for Animals" by Liz was incredible! Liz's infectious energy and humor kept the audience engaged and entertained throughout the entire show. Time seriously flew by because there was not a dull moment. What makes "Magic for Animals" stand out to me is its perfect blend of comedy and insight. Liz managed to deliver thought-provoking content while keeping the atmosphere light and enjoyable. The incredible music and lighting really added to the whole atmosphere. Oh and the outfit - OBSESSED. ... full review

This was a delightful, surprisingly poignant show that managed to tackle challenging themes with playfulness and sensitivity. Liz is a charming solo performer and she brought us into her world with magic, stories, and a grounded truthfulness that is rarely seen in magic shows or comedy. Loved it!... full review

I knew I would see some awesome magic, I didn't know I would feel so deeply! Truly a glamorous and generous performance by Liz Toonkel.... full review

What a wonderfully funny and fun show! I see a lot (read: LOT) of magic shows and they all lack a certain amount of heart, a certain amount of character, a certain amount of substance. But this show? It has all of those things in spades. Absolutely riveting, I went to see it on a whim and I'm glad I did...will probably catch it one more time before the end of fringe...... full review

Funny, sad and truly magical, this show is an exploration of empathy that shines.... full review

Absolutely hilarious, moving, and truly original. I didn’t realize this show would be as amazing as it was. See it now, before the $85 run at the Geffen next year… her magic is great, her storytelling is astounding, and the way she entwines the two is brilliant. ... full review
