| Description | The magic continues when one of L.A.’s most beloved and longest running shows, Smoke and Mirrors moves to the Odyssey Theatre on Jan. 17 through March 15. Created by and starring noted actor and lifetime member of the Magic Castle, Albie Selznick and co-produced with Ron Sossi, artistic director of the Odyssey Theatre Ensemble, the L.A. Times Critic’s Choice smash hit directed by David Schweizer makes its debut in West L.A.
A story told through mind-blowing illusions and mystifying slight-of-hand, Smoke and Mirrors is the semi-autobiographical, fantastical story of Albie Selznick and his journey to become a Master Magician. After suffering a formidable tragedy, Albie uses magic to misdirect his grief but discovers himself by facing his fears with the aid of a life-sized white rabbit, The Oracle, and Harry Houdini’s wife, Bess. Through a myriad of adventures, magic takes on a variety of meanings both in spirit and spectacle. Dazzling as it is touching—the play incorporates visual effects, incredible feats and thrilling illusions with humor and heart.
This theatrical, stylized production has received numerous rave reviews. "A superb magic theatrical show!" by the L.A. Times, LA Weekly calls it "a bewildering tour de force." Stage Scene L.A. says "Don't miss this mysterious uniquely entertaining show!" EyeSpyLA recommends, “It is chockfull of unexpected surprises.” And Broadway World hails it as "A magic show of the highest order…and much, much more. Don’t miss Smoke and Mirrors!"
