Derek DelGaudio's In & Of Itself (2020)

 

The theatrical version of Derek’s stage show, which wowed audiences with illusions, storytelling, and, let’s be honest, a lot of emotional manipulation. The editing and the pace felt odd. Long pauses, clicks, and other bits that seemed out of place. 

Where the show excels is with the non-illusionary pieces; genuine reactions from audience members who are feeling seen and heard. And even you, the viewer, will share those same feelings as you watch the movie. It will leave you puzzling out how everything was pulled off.
