David Kwong is the Enigmatist. He is a magician and a crossword constructor. He does many card tricks on stage including one trick where he is holding the full deck in one hand and manages to send a card spinning quickly in the air to his other hand. It’s quite an impressive feat. There are also many tricks that have the audience in awe without any idea how he did them. Also, there are five puzzles in the show that the audience is invited to solve. Lastly, he creates a full crossword puzzle live on stage from scratch. It’s very spectacular, especially after he reveals all the callbacks to earlier in the show that he placed into the crossword.

David Kwong is very charismatic and funny as he introduces each puzzle and magic trick. He describes magic as a puzzle that you can’t solve, which is a great insight.

Overall, it’s an expertly crafted show that all fans of magic and puzzles should definitely see.
