‘The Illusionists—Witness the Impossible’
THEATER/MAGIC June 16–21, 5th
Avenue Theatre (1308 Fifth Ave)
*GASP* The Illusionists—Witness the Impossible is everything I love about everything! Magic, Vegas-style shows, groups of men with distinct and highly stylized personalities! The seven flamboyant magicians are: the Anti-Conjuror (shock magician, Hot Topic goth), the Warrior (weapons, butt chin, human equivalent of brocade), the Manipulator (the shy one, elegant card tricks), the Futurist (“Justin Timberlake meets David Copperfield”), the Inventor (steampunk David Crosby/Colonel Sanders hybrid), the Trickster (adorable in a British-ish way), the Escapologist (is named the Escapologist)…
