Working with props and tricks that have been seen before in 1000 shows has the potential to be cheesy.

Hide AdYes, most of the tricks have been done before. Lengths of rope and silk scarves are the tools of the trade but Dabek gives them a twist all of his own.

And just when you think that you’ve seen the best of Dabek, his closing sequence is so utterly compelling that you’ll be going back just to experience that last few minutes again.
