Josh Sharp's ta-da!
Josh Sharp's solo show ta-da! is primarily a comedy act, but Sharp reveals early on that he loved magic as a kid — and in homage, he includes a couple tricks in the show. The rest of ta-da! sees Sharp use 2,000 Google Slides to aid him in telling hilarious personal stories — and honestly, getting through them all is practically a superhuman feat of its own.

Chamber Magic
Steve Cohen's Chamber Magic is inspired by the old-fashioned tradition of parlor magic, in which a select group of peers would gather to watch illusions in an intimate setting. Cohen recreates this atmosphere at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel, doing everything from performing card tricks to making drinks appear out of thin air for an audience of up to 64 people only. Dressing up is encouraged!
