The Magic Castle, Hollywood, CA

For one week only, Murray shut down his Las Vegas show and brought it to the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA. This private club is the most exclusive magic club in the world.

Normally, there are three magicians that headline the show in the Palace of Mystery, but for this special week, Murray and I split the bill.

Not only did I help Murray with various comedy gags throughout the show, but my character Lefty got to feature two spots in the show, my signature card manipulation routine and my floating ball routine.

The following photos include a look at my dressing room backstage at the Palace of Mystery, as well as video capture photos taken from a video that was shot of my two performance pieces during the show.
