MAGIC

A Dose of Deception featuring Dr. Brian Nguyen

Your Prescription is Wonder: An Evening with Dr. Brian Nguyen, Magician, M.D.

Dr. Brian Nguyen graduated from the University of Maryland School of Medicine, learned exactly how the human body works, and then went looking for ways to fool it. His card work comes from a legendary underground expert, and it's clean enough to make Erdnase blink twice (impressive, since nobody's sure who Erdnase even was).

He's appeared on NBC News and in Genii Magazine, and neither has figured him out. Side effects may include gasping, muttering, and a sudden distrust of your own deck. The doctor will see you now.
