My overall impression


This review first appeared in LA Weekly*** For their slick and comical magic show David & Leeman: How to Convincingly Fake Honesty, our two card sharps pour forth a constant stream of smooth patter that is as perfectly timed as their split-second feats of prestidigitation, dexterous legerdemain, sleight-of-hand card tricks and stunts (they explain the difference), sight gags and silly bits of comedy. Frequently calling on the audience to participate, they delight with a series of miraculous routines. The three loose acts include a Dada-inspired entre’acte, and the swift 45-minute show concludes with an elaborate tribute to the charlatan spiritualists who spooked the early 19th century.
