Re: New Theater Show "Radnevsky's Real Magic" In NYC
FINAL WEEK OF PERFORMANCES for RADNEVSKY'S REAL MAGIC I loved this show: it's a grand, exciting, intimate magic show, performed in the First Floor Theatre in La MaMa, which means that especially in the first several rows you are closer to the magicians than you're likely ever to have been.

Peter Samelson.
Never had any desire to perform linking rings until I saw his performance a couple of weeks ago. He didn't speak a word. He didn't use music. Yet he drew gasps from an audience of laymen. Beautiful magic.
