My overall impression
A black-box theater might not seem like an optimal space for an interactive close up magic show, but Jon Armstrong changed a sterile theater into a living room in a matter or seconds. I immediately felt like my fellow audience members were friends rather than strangers because of the way Jon broke the ice with his humor. I visibly saw the members in the audience, who at the beginning of the show sat with blank expressions and their arms crossed in what Armstrong calls the " ’I’m not buying any of this crap’ position" warm up and let themselves be amazed. His show is probably the most honestly titled show at the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2011. He does card tricks. Great card tricks. And he is funny. Very funny.
