What I liked

What I really liked about Coke and Mirrors was the story. Even though they’ve had monthly variety shows, this show is a sequel to their Fringe show from last year, but if you missed it, you won’t feel lost in the story. Since reuniting last year, they’ve been doing their best to work together over the last year. They want to perform at the Magic Castle and this show is their “demo tape” of sorts.

What they’re able to pull off is spectacular. Their tricks will leave you scratching your head (or crotch if you’re too close to Eric). Because they are “Bad Boys”, you may see the basis of a trick you’ve seen before, but never like this. Perhaps you’ll see alcohol, or condoms, or bodily fluids. All of these things make sense within the show, but never detracts from the actual magic. This is just a fun show for people who like a little raunch with their magic salad.

What I didn't like

Nothing. They’ve perfected their craft and their show

My overall impression

If you go see the New Bad Boys of Magic, you will have fun. You will smile. You will be amazed. You will just…be…happy.
