A clever take on magic and a fantastic Fringe offering. Is she a spy or not? Katrina's charm draws people into the act becoming part of the story. Complete with jaw dropping illusions that will have you leaving the theater wondering, "how did she do that?" Spy or not, she's got the charisma to put the audience at ease for a nice, entertaining night out. I hope Katrina continues the evolution of this production. I will always say, "I saw it at the Hollywood Fringe first." :)...
