Family Fun with Dennis DeBondt

The deft prestidigitation of Dennis DeBondt - his card tricks, mentalism, and stylish magic shtick - is complemented by a biting sense of humor. Fortune 500 CEOs and four-year-old kids alike respond with the same blend of incredulity, laughter, and appreciation - but it is the latter group that is more easily won over after a spell of levitation. Even jaded parents drop their jaws when DeBondt pulls a playing card, chosen at random by a member of the audience, out of his shoe. It also helps that DeBondt, the self-proclaimed Sears Tower of Magic, is nearly seven feet tall, and so funny he could probably drop the magic and just do straight comedy.
