"Forget all you know..."
We have our own sound system and lighting but can/will use provided sound/lights as well.
We are influenced by Las Vegas style illusionists and some of the top comedians of today. We blend the two styles together to create a memorable performance. We can't name a direct influence because we are trying to improve upon what most magicians present.
