“If you’re looking for a mind-bending, interactive and family friendly magic experience, this show is a must-see! Josh is a true magician, effortlessly engaging with the audience as they draw cards from a deck, choose objects, and even draw pictures—only for him to somehow find and reveal their secrets before we even know them ourselves! Prepare to be part of the action, as the show is designed for everyone aged 7 and up. It’s a fun, family-friendly experience that will leave you questioning how he does it. No matter how closely you watch, Josh manages to pull off tricks that continue to amaze. The best part? Josh brilliantly ties all the elements together at the end, leaving you in awe of how everything fits. Not only is he an incredible performer, but he’s also a genuinely nice guy, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!”
