Ahhh I loved this show! Really sweet and emotional with incredible magic and lots of comedic relief. I've seen Gerald perform many times and this was some of his best

Death and Busking is a fond reflection of his magic beginnings on Pearl Street in Boulder. In telling his own story, Gerald also gives the audience a glimpse of Pearl Street history. The magic is dazzling while his heart gives the whole piece warmth and realness. It almost feels like we're sitting around a campfire.

This show made me laugh, cry and everything in between. A very meaningful show full of heartfelt stories and mind-blowing magic. I feel like I can keep watching Geralds shows over and over and over again. Had a lovely time!

This performance was absolutely breathtaking. Gerald's blend of mind-blowing magic with heartfelt stories from his own life creates an experience that feels personal and unique for every audience member. It’s not just a magic show—it’s a true work of art.

I was Isaiah’s boyfriend and this is the first magic show I attended after his passing. It was touching, vulnerable, and raw but still optimistic which couldn’t have been easy to do. I can’t speak highly enough of Gerald and this show.

Mindblowing magic with an earnest emotional core. The whole room got blurry towards the end, not sure if that was a magic trick or
