After going through the first section, we entered the second and were about to continue into the final part when an employee unexpectedly stopped us. I was told I needed to leave because I had "touched the talent." This accusation surprised me -- it simply didn't happen. The area was pitch black, and I held onto my friend's arm to stay together, not reaching for or guiding anyone else. Regardless, we didn't want to cause a scene and decided to leave quietly. I wanted to share this because the situation was confusing and disappointing. We were really looking forward to the full experience and left feeling unfairly treated. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Mark Phillips and Ryan Phillips were both terrific. The one we voted for did indeed win, but they were both great! The Saturday we were there, there were two performances. We chose the 5pm one. It's a fast-paced show that kept us laughing, intrigued and highly entertained. A very fun, wonderful way to spend entertainment dollars in DC. Not a bad seat in the house! This is downstairs in the historic Mayflower Hotel, nice and close to the Farragut North Metro Stop. Definitely appropriate for all ages. Highly recommend!

I recognize that the Magic Duel takes huge pride in 5 star reviews on Yelp, which I deeply respect. But I did wish that we had seen the show in a different venue. I am no stage expert, but lights and sound do matter a lot in delivery of a magic show for a skeptic like me, going because the significant other loves magic shows. With better lighting, things would have been more "magical" (thinking bottles.) I was also surprised that a bubble artist, as good as she was in her profession, was considered a magician. After some quick research, you will end up at Magic Duel in this genre, so please go to Dupont or Georgetown.

From an administrative perspective this place is incredibly disorganized, the staff is misinformed and they do a poor job of communicating important pieces of information. They just had their spring performance at the Manassas Center for Performing Arts this past weekend and the experience was nothing short of infuriating. First, they wanted the kids there at 5:30 pm for a performance that starts at 7 pm. Ok, that's reasonable. When I checked my 11 year old in backstage, they told me I wasn't allowed to go any further, that made me incredibly uneasy but of course I complied. The performance was to start at 7 pm, and it did but prior to the performance (meaning the weeks and days ahead) we we're not given an idea of when the show would end. I'll just cut to the chase and tell you now, I did not have my daughter back until nearly 11 pm. When her performance was finished (she was in the 4th act), which was around 9:45 pm, I excused myself from the auditorium and went backstage to get her. I was told the kids would not be released until the end of the show and that all children 10 and up (this part is important) would be released into the lobby of the performing center on their own. That was an absolutely terrible idea.... So the show wrapped up about 10:30 pm. Someone from the school made an announcement on stage that all kids 8 and older would be released into the lobby on their own for parents to retrieve (more like search for frantically in a sea full of strangers). So while someone in the back was telling parents it was 10 and up, they just made an announcement to hundreds of people that it was actually 8 and up. Prime example of the kind of misinformation and lack of communication they demonstrate on a daily basis back at the school. Once I finally had my daughter back and after congratulating her on a job well done, I asked her about her experience backstage. No snacks or hydration provided (because the ADULTS backstage did not inform the children they were allowed to grab one from the table they set up) and when the children attempted to go to the bathroom they were told they could not and had to go back to the dressing room. So you put my kid in a room from 5:30 pm to 9:15 pm and tell her she can't go to the bathroom and don't bother to tell her she can grab a snack..... THEN after she performs, she is stuck in that same predicament another hour. THEN you send her out in a lobby full of HUNDREDS of people to search for her guardian when it's all said and done?! The levels of negligence, lack of planning, consideration and common sense is astounding! I was willing to overlook the fact that after paying for tuition we were forced to pay $20 a head to see her perform. I was willing to overlook that after spending all of this money up till performance night, we were told we were not allowed to take pictures or video (ushers were kicking parents out if they were caught recording). I was even willing to overlook their seriously flawed system for releasing kids back to parents but to have the audacity to keep our kids from us for several hours and not have the decency to make sure they were well taken care of and attended to absolutely pisses me off. I'm sure there are schools that will treat you, your children and your money much better. Don't do it.

I went with a couple of friends and even they had a problem with the way she was acting. She seemed like she didn't want to be there and we could hear her complaining the entire time we were eating. For a while we were trying to find her so we could order and she disappeared for about 20 minutes. I can understand having a bad day, I myself used to work in the food industry. Once that bad attitude starts affecting your coworkers and your customers then maybe you don't belong in food service. I don't leave reviews often, let alone bad reviews, but i feel like this needs to be addressed with management.
