Washington Post Theatre Critic, Lloyd Rose:
"It all looks like magic"
"The opportunity to see magic done this close–
as compared with David Copperfield at the cavernous Patriot Center–is more than a treat, it's almost a luxury."
" ... isn't a show where your attention wanders"
"Taylor has decades of magic performance, but he's not slick. Taylor has a guy-next-door quality. He' a down-home entertainer, but there's norhing ordinary about his skills. Close as you're sitting, you can't catch any of the tricks."

Bob Davis , WGMS Theatre Critic:
"...the most impressive magician I've ever seen–
and I've seen the best, such as David Copperfield, Penn & Teller, and Siegfried and Roy."

Buzz McClain , of the
Washington Post Weekend Section:
"By the time the piece is done, the audience is laughing... as if on a roller coaster. Now that's magic!"

Washington DC's City Paper:
"It was terrific! You never get to see magic up close like that."
"... but the slickness with which Taylor works through the standard magician's bag of ticks, as well as his relaxed stage presence, project a professional air."

The Journal
" ...much laughter and applause..."

Sarah Kaufman, of the
Washington Post Weekend Section
"Who says there's no such thing as magic?"
"But there is no dismissing the extreme confidence and grace of Barry, who works his magic just inches from the front row."

Intermission Magazine
"Spectacular! It's like nothing you've experienced before! Barry Taylor is a true master of the craft... Mind-bending feats are performed within inches of the audience. The show is fast-paced and involves a lot of audience participation. Taylor's greatest strength is his ability to read people's minds. It's uncanny, he's never wrong!"

Chevy Chase Land Company
"Wonderful time! Incredible performance and great illusions. How can we possibly top your performance next year?"

Osram Sylvania
"Unforgettable! Your magic show changed what could have been a boring dinner into a mystical evening of wonder and surprise."
