Man, I wish I lived in New York... At times, I thought this magic act/one-man show might be the most pretentious thing I've ever seen; by the end, I thought maybe the pretension lies in me, arrogantly thinking my ability to discern meaning from someone else's work is what gives it value. That's how powerful this is; that segment/trick at the end alone, of Derek "seeing"/" naming" every audience member, was undeniably breathtaking.
