About Magician Chef Anton - King of the Con

On stage, Chef Anton combines wit, humor, and audience participation with unbelievable sleight-of-hand and daring pick pocketing to weave a spell of enchantment and deception.

Through real life experiences growing up on the streets of New York, Anton proves the age old adage, “Never try to hustle a hustler.”  The audience sees the world through the eyes of a con man.  Onlookers become his confederates, as they put the sting on an unsuspecting spectator.

As the con unfolds, the audience, the on-stage volunteers, and the Grifter are caught up in a mystifying web of comedy and trickery with a climax that has to be seen to be believed.
