Greenpoint dazzled last night with Brooklyn’s Magic Fair, mystifying NYC’s spring at a Nassau lot. Magician Tariq Evans pulled doves as 300 gasped, a $10 ticket fest of sleights. It’s borough wands—pure BK vibe, decks hot. A kid fumbled a coin; a pro vanished a hat. ‘Brooklyn wows—this is it,’ Evans says, palming cards. The stalls turned stage.
The fair’s fresh—March 21’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing rows by 6 p.m. Evans, a Williamsburg trickster; last night’s crowd hit max—oohs rang. A latecomer nabbed a spot; smoke puffed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one day—magic ruled. #BKMagic trended; Queens wants a hat.
Some griped—’Too fake,’ sniped a cynic, dodging tricks. Wind blew—tents held; wonder held. A rival’s pitching a Bushwick show, splitting wands. Still, 400 stayed—spells reigned. Greenpoint’s never tricked so bold.
Evans hints at a monthly run, maybe a street act if spring bites. ‘NYC’s eyes—this fools ‘em,’ he says, packing props. The fair’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets gleam. It’s a magic rush; catch the next. Bring a coin—sleights call.
