Great entertainment
I would highly recommend this show. I have told all my friends about it. Brian is very funny and engaging. The room is small, so just about everyone in the audience will participate, but don't worry. Brian does not embarrass or make anyone uncomfortable with being on stage.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the kind words (and for spreading the word to your friends — that's the best kind of advertising)! I'm glad the audience participation didn't scare you off — I promise the room's small size is a feature, not a trap. Glad you had a great time, and hope to see you at another show soon!

Family Fun!
My daughter and I were looking for a bit of fun on our last night in DC and landed on this show. We grabbed a drink at the hotel and then proceeded in to see the mentalist. It was really a lot of fun and made us laugh. Brian seemed to do this show in a couple of places in DC, so look around if you find a show that is sold out.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! These reviews mean the world to me.

Laughter is the best medicine and we got a full dose
It's all, intimate, fun experience. Laughter is the best medicine and we got a full dose. Your host gets to know you.
Response from the operator: This is one of the nicest reviews I've gotten. Thank you so much!

Fun show, well worth your time
Brian Curry is incredibly talented, charismatic, and puts on a very entertaining show. We did not know what to expect when we arrived, but the show was great and the perfect low-key Saturday night outing that kept us on the edge of our seats. At this price point, I intend to come back to try and figure out some of his secrets!
Response from the operator: Love this. Thank you so much!

Good, entertaining and at a good price.
Reasonably priced, interesting and entertaining show. A fun evening activity in a nice location. Lots of restaurants and parking nearby. Adult oriented. About 70 minutes.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much!

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Brian Curry: Mentalist and Magician Live at The Capital Hilton: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Washington DC.
How much does Brian Curry: Mentalist and Magician Live at The Capital Hilton cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Washington DC usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Brian Curry: Mentalist and Magician Live at The Capital Hilton take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Washington DC is not rushed.
Is Brian Curry: Mentalist and Magician Live at The Capital Hilton worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 70 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Washington DC, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Brian Curry: Mentalist and Magician Live at The Capital Hilton?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Brian Curry: Mentalist and Magician Live at The Capital Hilton suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Brian Curry: Mentalist and Magician Live at The Capital Hilton?
+
Around 25 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Washington DC can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Washington DC and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Brian Curry: Mentalist and Magician Live at The Capital Hilton start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Washington DC within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Washington DC?
+
Washington is the rare city where the headline attractions cost nothing and the scarce resource is access. Timed entry to the Smithsonian museums, Capitol and White House tours, and the night monument runs by bike or bus are what fill up. Our ranking rewards operators who secure the passes themselves rather than telling you to sort it out at the door. On Outty we rank every Washington DC experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Washington DC Small-Group Sightseeing Experience, Washington DC "See the City" Guided Sightseeing Segway Tour, Arlington Cemetery Small-Group Tour & Changing of the Guards. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Washington DC?
+
Late March to April for cherry blossom, or September to November for cool museum weather. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Washington DC?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
