Had an awesome experience last night seeing @LeeTerbosic in his new show In Plain Sleight at the new #LibertyMagic(@CulturalTrust). One of the most unique and up close music shows I have ever experienced. I highly recommend you catch this show before it leaves Pgh! #Magicians? pic.twitter.com/nzG2XQxC5g
