DC’s highly acclaimed Magic Artists Mark Phillips and Ryan Phillips perform distinguished live performances at the Mayflower Hotel in DC and the Synetic Theater in Crystal City. As part of The Magic Duel, the two comedians compete for the title of “best magician”, which is determined by audience votes at the end. The interactive show is not only “magical”, but also political and absolutely hilarious. Don’t get me wrong, though; the shows are not intended for children. You can also hire the duo for special events.
