NEW YORK—More often than not, the answer to solving a riddle is staring you right in the face. The trick is to be able to see the solution. Magician and cruciverbalist (crossword constructor) David Kwong happily demonstrates his prowess in a return engagement of his absolutely brain-twisting one-man show, “The Enigmatist.”

Fascinated by puzzles and magic from an early age, Kwong grew up trying to understand the secrets behind them. He learned long ago that “there is no such thing as magic,” but rather that every feat performed, every sleight of hand or seeming impossibility, has its roots in a sequence of events the prestidigitator has learned to make the trick work.
