A review of Crime Solving Magicians by Michael Cox on 12 August 2011
Take Morgan & West – Crime Solving Magicians (****), a comedy magic duo who present themselves as time-travelling Victorians. There’s an old-fashioned charm to the whole act, and they play off of the audience, and each other, brilliantly. Some of the tricks are better than others, but there are a few moments that truly amaze. After all, they are one of the few acts that managed to bamboozle Penn & Teller on their recent TV series ‘Fool Us’. Well, they fooled me a few times, but more importantly they utterly charmed me for the whole duration of their show.
