Published June 15, 2017 Updated June 16, 2017, 12:09 p.m. ET Magician Derek DelGaudio is drawing A-listers to the Daryl Roth Theatre. Carly HebertAfter selling out its initial run and attracting a star-studded audience, illusionist Derek DelGaudio’s hot one-man show, “In & of Itself,” has been extended through Sept. 3 at the Daryl Roth Theatre.
Its mix of confessional monologue and mind-blowing magic, all coming from a surprisingly unassuming man in a brown suit, has been drawing the likes of Josh Groban, Noah Syndergaard, Olivia Wide and Stephen Sondheim.
In a Los Angeles show before his current gig, the crowd included Barbra Streisand and Steve Martin — who was so tickled by “In & of Itself” that he took DelGaudio out for dinner.
While the performer’s stage presence eschews the smarmy flash of typical magicians — “I look like I could be somebody’s nephew,” he deadpans — the invitation from Martin might have raised a whoop of excitement. “Barbra Streisand told me she thought the show was incredible. I was, like, ‘Thanks, Barbra Streisand,’” says DelGaudio, sounding bored. “But Steve Martin coming up to me? That was fantastic. He knows about magic and performing and everything else.”
‘Steve Martin coming up to me? That was fantastic. He knows about magic and performing and everything else.’
Martin and others have been wowed by the show’s autobiographical stories — ranging from a tale he was once told about a Russian roulette player to his confession of catching his mother making out with her female lover as a young boy — and unexplainable sleight of hand. That he parcels out the magic stingily, with just six jewel-like tricks augmenting his verbiage, makes each act of wizardry all the more impressive.
Audience members are stunned when playing cards mysteriously rearrange themselves and a gold brick disappears before surfacing (“damn near instantly,” DelGaudio promises) at a Manhattan intersection randomly chosen by two audience members. Then the crowd becomes absolutely mesmerized as he inexplicably produces a letter from a loved one, written to a person in the theater. “Derek is a virtuoso — better than he needs to be,” says Penn Jillette. “And, yes, he is doing what he says he’s doing.”
Gigi Boyd, a 70-year-old psychologist from Santa Fe, N.M., attended a recent performance and received a missive there from her stepdaughter. “I was blown away,” she says. “And I am a skeptical person who is not easily blown away. It was amazing.”
Her husband shared the sentiment. “I’m a man of science,” he said, walking out of the theater. “I don’t have an explanation for how that had been done.”
The whole thing is even more incredible when you consider that just six years ago, DelGaudio’s fleet-fingered talent was being utilized by a gang of crooked gamblers. They hired him to be a bust-out dealer, using sleight of hand to fix underground high-stakes poker games in Beverly Hills, Calif.

DelGaudio’s participation as the dealer guaranteed that a shill, under the employ of the house, would win big bucks. The duplicity earned him a cut of each night’s haul. But it came at a cost: “Every single moment was scary. You are living a lie, doing something not normal, and you never know what the repercussions can be.”
Back then, DelGaudio — about whom David Blaine texts, “He’s great. Love that guy” — had all but given up on making it as a stage magician. Intermittently, through much of his 20s, he earned good money doing private performances, but something was amiss.
“If you truly care about magic and you’re doing it at a kid’s bar mitzvah, where nobody gives a s–t, well, it’s heartbreaking,” says DelGaudio, who began mastering complex card tricks as a disenfranchised 12-year-old growing up outside of Denver. He dropped out of high school in ninth grade and devoted much of his life to the craft. “There is more dignity in waiting tables than in doing something so painful.”
As for as the card-rigging gig’s allure, DelGaudio found himself seduced by “people who see commercial value to what you do.” All of a sudden, “your skill set, that was too trivial to keep kids engaged, gets the attention of serious guys who can’t believe what they are seeing — and, believe me, they have seen a lot. Now you are the golden goose and being treated very well. First time I met these guys, they asked me to basically audition. I demonstrated a few techniques, and their jaws dropped. They gave me $300 for 15 minutes of doing stuff that I would have done for free.”
DelGaudio might have kept it going if not for a conversation he had with a friend steeped in the world of crooked gambling. “He told me that I had to stop,” says DelGaudio. “He told me, ‘There is only one way this can end — badly.’”
Emboldened, perhaps, by the experience, DelGaudio refocused on stage magic, this time without compromise or pandering, and turned his criminal experience into a TV treatment that got snatched up by HBO. Clearly, things are now moving in a direction that is anything but bad.
Recalling recent post-show encounters with David Cross, Jason Sudeikis and Mandy Patinkin, DelGaudio says, “I always dreamed about meeting my heroes backstage after their performances. I never dreamed that they would come to meet me, backstage, after my show.”
The New York Public Library is another unique venue for corporate events, with its stunning architecture and beautiful reading rooms that can be used for receptions, meetings, and other events.

Reviews for "The Impact of Creature Power and Toughness on Gameplay in Magic IPA"
1. Savannah - 2/5 stars: I found Creatures of Magic IPA to be disappointing. The brew had a very strong, overpowering hop aroma that was not balanced with other flavors. The bitterness was also quite pronounced, making it difficult for me to enjoy the beer. I had high hopes for this IPA, but unfortunately, it fell short for me.
2. Mike - 1/5 stars: I couldn't finish my pint of Creatures of Magic IPA. The taste was overwhelmingly bitter and lacked any complexity or depth. It felt like I was drinking liquid pine needles. I love trying different IPAs, but this one was a miss for me. I would not recommend it to anyone who doesn't enjoy extremely hoppy and bitter beers.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars: The Creatures of Magic IPA just didn't do it for me. The hop bitterness was too intense, overpowering any other flavors that might have been present. I prefer a more balanced and drinkable IPA, and this one missed the mark. It might appeal to those who enjoy a really hop-forward beer, but it's not my cup of tea.
4. Jason - 3/5 stars: Creatures of Magic IPA was too aggressive for my taste. The hops were undoubtedly the star of the show, but I found the bitterness to be too overpowering. I appreciate a strong IPA, but this one lacked any subtlety or complexity. It might appeal to die-hard hop lovers, but for me, it was too one-note.
