About
The Las Vegas Review Journal recently named Matt Donnelly, “Las Vegas’s Best Up and Coming Comedy Magician”. His act, The Mind Noodler has been dazzling audiences across the North America with his unique and hilarious brand of magic and one of a kind story. Many years ago while working as head writer on Penn & Teller Fool Us, Penn Jillette challenged Matt to learn one trick. He said “It’s harder that you think…but you might be better at it than you think”. So he did learn one trick…from 7 different magicians! He put all 7 tricks together and made his first show and hasn’t stopped working since
