Magicians can astound and delight and make you feel tricked, but in Now and at the Hour something else happens entirely. Old craft kept carefully secret by the awesome charmers and mentalists of past decades is gently reinvented to bring an audience into their own memories, and into the memories of the magician himself, Christian Cagigal: vulnerable storyteller, scared little kid, funny sad-eyed everyman time-traveller. And that’s what makes this show great – the magic and mind-reading is breathtaking, but the solar plexus heft of the show is in it’s honesty. Definitely go.

“Style, dignity, and true artistry. Now, and at the Hour is a unique and genuine theatrical experience that should not be missed.”

“As Cagigal ponders time, the past, memory, imagination and relationships, it’s an invitation for theatergoers to do the same, resulting in a powerful, and at times, even a meditative experience — engaging from start to finish.”
-SF Examiner
