STAGE TUBE: Neil Patrick Harris Offers Special Discount for EXPERT AT THE CARD TABLE in LA!
Goldstar is offering half-price tickets to THE EXPERT AT THE CARD TABLE, directed by Neil Patrick Harris and based on a book on slight-of-hand written by the mysterious S. W. Erdnase. Click below to hear all about the special deal from Neil Patrick Harris himself!
The Expert at the Card Table draws on the controversial book of the same name, written in 1902, which revealed the intimate secrets of magicians and card cheats, and created a long lasting mystery about who would have the knowledge, expertise and desire to expose the underground techniques of those masters of deceit. Half a century later, research uncovered a story far more dramatic than anyone had imagined - a twisting tale full of murder, suicide, deception and death.
Guy Hollingworth, a renowned UK magician, debuted The Expert at the Card Table ten years ago at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival to rave reviews, refined the show over many performances into a spellbinding night of magic and mystery, and now brings it to The Broad Stage under the direction of beloved actor Neil Patrick Harris.
Hollingworth's dramatic rendering of the fascinating true story behind The Expert at the Card Table charts the rise and terrible fall of two young devotees of cards, and offers masterful demonstrations of sleight of hand tricks which have dazzled audiences and baffled gamblers for over a century. From the glamour of stage magic to the gritty danger of life as a card cheat, Hollingworth takes his audiences on a thrilling journey through the underground world of performers and gamblers, spiced with astonishing illustrations of the amazing things that can happen between two skilled hands and a deck of cards.
Tickets: Range from $35 - $85 and are available online at www.theBroadStage.com or by calling 310.434.3200.
