“Describing Morgan & West as one of a kind is misleading, as there are two of them. Their collaborative approach to magic is both delightful and innovative. Although I can’t predict the routines they’ll present, I can guarantee they’ll astonish you — and you’ll love it!” – Max Maven
“Morgan & West rank among my favorite performers. Their innovative material and engaging presentations are captivating, and their whimsical style is truly enchanting. I eagerly anticipate this unique chance to learn more about their craft.” – Joshua Jay
What will they teach?
The Real Transported Card – Two audience members select and sign cards, which then impossibly teleport across the stage without anyone crossing over.
Hopes and Fears – Four spectators think of either a hope or a fear. By sensing the backs of their heads, Mr. West reveals who has a hope and who has a fear, along with the specific fear in mind.
Balloon Animals of Death – A spectator names a new sidekick for Morgan & West, choosing which balloon animals will ‘live’ or ‘die’. Their choice is predicted on a nametag held since the start of the trick.
Happy Rotter – A spectator selects a book from JK Rowling’s series, picks a page, and chooses a word. Morgan & West predict every choice, but with a twist that requires time travel to correct.
Hearing With The Ears – Mr. Morgan, blindfolded, identifies coins by sound as they drop into a bowl, even discerning details from a driver’s license dropped in.
Forgery – Morgan & West present four identical pictures, three of which are ‘fake’. The spectator identifies the fakes, which then transform into increasingly absurd images, confirming their choices.
