The Magic Duel combines comedy, magic, and audience participation to create a unique, 90-minute experience.  In the show, two snarky sleight-of-hand masters compete for audience members' votes in a laugh-filled conjuring competition where the audience selects the challenges, judges each magician's efforts, and votes for their favorite! A DC fixture since 2016 with Saturday night shows at The Mayflower Hotel, The Magic Duel Comedy Show has earned six consecutive TripAdvisor Certificates of Excellence for its high audience ratings and an Editor’s Choice award from TripSavvy and it tops multiple categories for Washington, DC on Yelp.  Come see this 5-star show in its first public appearance in Silver Spring.

Cast

Alyx Hilshey

The Challenger
A rising star in the world of magic, Alyx Hilshey's one-woman show and lecture on my magic philosophy have been featured at magicians' conventions nationwide. In addition to performances at countless private events, she has performed at the Chicago Magic Lounge, headlined at Philadelphia's Smoke & Mirrors Magic Theater and was the featured performer at The Boston Magic Lab twice. Beginning her career as a traveling street theater entertainer, Alyx's magic DNA goes back to the earliest recorded performances of magic. The Magic Duel is thrilled to have her as a special guest performer beginning with these 2022 shows.


Mark Phillips

The Champion
Natural-born class clown Mark Phillips learned to vanish a cigarette when he was only six years old. Fortunately, six-year-olds with cigarettes were fairly common in 1960's Kentucky. Reared in a military household, Mark developed a passion for order, discipline, and psychological warfare on his sisters. Applying these traits to deception, Mark become an expert, eventually tricking a university into giving him a French horn scholarship even though his major in microbiology. Paying the remainder of his college bills by performing regularly at the Phoenix Playboy Club, Mark realized show business might not be such a bad idea. His long career as a magical entertainer performing in 36 countries proved him right.
