Bay View Association's Inside the Box: An Evening of Puzzles and Magic David Kwong, Performer

David Kwong is an expert in enigmas and illusions. He delights and challenges audiences around the world with his intellectual brand of magic. His one-man show The Enigmatist had a year-long run in New York, playing to sold-out crowds both there and in Los Angeles. His show Inside the Box garnered a Critic’s Pick from the New York Times. 

Now, this Los Angeles-based “cruciverbalist” (Kwong has created crossword puzzles for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times) is bringing his unique blend of magic and wordplay to the Bay View Association’s Hall Auditorium on Saturday, July 8 from 8-9:30 p.m. The title of his performance is Inside the Box: An Evening of Puzzles and Magic. 

A Harvard graduate, Kwong has conjured a career out of puzzles and magic—what he calls “the two nerdiest hobbies.”  In addition to creating crossword puzzles and performing mind-bending stunts on stage, Kwong is also Hollywood’s go-to magician and puzzle creator. He has served as Secret-Code Advisor for NBC’s TV show Blindspot, and Lead Magic Consultant on the popular film series Now You See Me.
