What I liked

The different take on how magicians “should” act.

What I didn't like

I wish it were longer!! (that’s probably what Eric said)

My overall impression

Magic duos are always fun. They can play off one another and have a great back and forth dialog. “New Bad Boys of Magic” is a duo of magicians – one of whom is the typical clean cut nice guy (Daniel Donohue) and the other is a drunk, perverted, down on his luck guy (Eric Siegel).

This show is for adults. There’s adult language and adult situations. This is not your typical, family friendly magic show. Now while this is definitely raunchy, it should not overshadow the fact of how skilled these guys are. Sure, at times, they use things like alcohol or make the occasional dick joke or two, but do not let those things get in the way of seeing what the tricks actually are.

They perform some great tricks throughout the show and one card story that will make you realize just how good they really are. I want to see more of these guys in the future. Hopefully Eric won’t corrupt Daniel too bad going forward.
