Hosted by: Eric Walton

He eats fire for breakfast and razor-blades for lunch. He reads Aristotle and he reads minds. A nimble-fingered trickster and a silver-tongued poet, the press have called him, "The King of The Underworld" (Three Weeks), "What the Devil would be like if he had his own night-club act" (NYTheatre.com), and, "[An] erudite magician and rabble-rouser" (The New York Times).

"Walton is a very entertaining con-man [and] a skilled sleight of hand artist - his routines draw bedazzlement from seemingly ordinary decks of playing cards." - TimeouNY. "With his top-notch vocabulary and gentlemanly poise, Walton quickly establishes himself as the sharpest knife in the drawer. [His] wizardry will leave you speechless and and perhaps just a little freaked out." - Gothamist.com
