In 2008, Neil Patrick Harris & Guy Hollingworth began a colaboration.\\xa0 Following a sold out run at the Edinburgh Festival and a series of international shows culminating in a\\xa0 sell-out success at the infamous Magic Castle in LA and an amazingly well received presentation at Stan Allen\'s "Magic LIVE," Guy Hollingworth begins a new presentation of\\xa0 his acclaimed one man show, The Expert at the Card Table " in Los Angeles today.\\xa0 In his one man show, Guy presents amazing exhibitions of card chicanerywhile telling a fascinating tale of trickery, deceit and death. Based on the book of the same name, The Expert at the Card Table tells the story of two boys whose innocent love of card tricks develops in adulthood into a dangerous game of hustles, street cons and murder. Published anonymously in Chicago in 1902, the book describes in great detail, original and brilliant methods for conjuring effects, whilst at the same time revealing the author\'s true intent, a full expos\\xe9 of the underground techniques used by hustlers, card cheats and con artists. \\xa0 This performance begins today, July 13th at the Edye at the Broad Stage and runs through August 7th.
