Erica Fee and James Seabright present David Kwong in
The Enigmatist
Can you crack the code?
Following wildly successful runs in New York City, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Chicago and Toronto, renowned magician and The New York Times crossword constructor David Kwong brings his immersive puzzles experience to the UK for the first time, to coincide with American Thanksgiving.
Part magic show, part puzzle quest, Kwong’s intriguing blend of sleight-of-hand, wordplay, and brain-twisting riddles pulls you straight into the mystery.
The Enigmatist invites you to crack ciphers, chase clues, and gasp at impossibilities – all before the final jaw-dropping reveal. Clues are everywhere, so keep your eyes open and be ready for surprises behind every multi-layered illusion.
Originally produced by Andy Jones and Dylan Pager.
