My husband and I had seen a few magic shows earlier this year at a resort, and while they were fun, nothing compared to Daniel Roy's performance. We attended his show at the historic Salmagundi Club, in the beautiful front parlor. The space is elegant and intimate--only a few rows of seats--so you feel completely part of the experience.
Before the show, we enjoyed cocktails and listened to a wonderful pianist in the lounge, which really set the mood for the evening.
Daniel is an incredible showman. He connects with the audience from the very beginning, keeping everyone engaged and laughing. The time flew by! At one point, he invited me to participate in a trick--I raised my hand and was picked at random. I always thought magicians arranged this sort of thing in advance, but I can honestly say we had never met or spoken before. I chose a word at random from a book, and somehow he guessed it exactly. I was speechless!
This show is classy, clever, and full of moments that make you question reality in the best possible way. It's a perfect night out, whether for a birthday, anniversary, or just something different to do in the city. Guests are encouraged to dress up, which makes it feel even more special.
We're already planning to see Daniel again--he's that good. Highly recommend catching a performance if you get the chance! read more
