All presented in style by an understated showman. ‘You won't see this level of skill anywhere else in the world. He should be charging £100 per ticket’ (Jerry Sadowitz). ‘Jaw-dropping sleight of hand in an intimate show that puts the audience inches away from magic’ (Scotsman). ‘Master of sleight of hand’ (FringeReview.co.uk).
