By: Staff –

Renowned magician and The New York Times crossword constructor David Kwong will bring his immersive show of puzzles and magic to Canada for the first time this June! The Enigmatist, will run from June 10 to 22 at the Lighthouse Blackbox Theatre.

Kwong’s acclaimed performances are filled with multi-layered illusions and surprises that have thrilled audiences during his sold-out runs in New York City, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Chicago. His Canadian debut promises to be a captivating experience that both challenges and entertains audiences, and it holds special significance for David. 

“I’m thrilled to bring The Enigmatist to Toronto, a city that feels like home to me. My father is from here, and I spent much of my childhood here. This run truly feels like a ‘hometown’ show and I can’t wait to share my passion for puzzles and magic with the incredible audiences in Toronto.”

This engaging combination of problem-solving and performance art not only captivates the mind but also fosters a sense of community among participants, making it a memorable outing for everyone involved. Attendees are also invited to arrive early to tackle pre-show puzzles in the lobby area of theatre. 

“While solving the puzzles isn’t mandatory for entry, it definitely enhances the overall experience. It’s a chance to warm up those brain cells before the main event!” adds Kwong.

Kwong, a graduate of Harvard University, has captivated audiences around the world with his intellectual brand of magic and his expertise in enigmas and illusions. His recent children’s book, How to Fool Your Parents, has garnered national acclaim and several reprints.
