The skilled and inventive Israeli-American illusionist and mentalist Asi Wind, who has worked closely with David Blaine and memorably fooled Penn & Teller on TV, stars in his second solo Off Broadway show: an intimate evening of close-up magic that is likely to leave audiences gasping with happy disbelief.
We all need a bit of magic in our lives, and New York offers plenty to choose from beyond Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Some of the city's best magic shows are proudly in the old presentational tradition of men in tuxedos with tricks up their sleeves; others are more like Off Broadway shows or immersive theater experiences. When performed well, they welcome you to suspend disbelief in a special zone where skills honed over the course of years meet the element of surprise. Why not allow yourself a few illusions?
