It's not what but who is up Ballard magician Tony Comito's sleeve that is important during an April 6 performance at Egan's Ballard Jam House.

Ballard Big Picture: Magician has someone up his sleeve

Ballard magician Tony Comito may have declared, "Nothing up my sleeves." But, onlookers could not help but notice that Claudia Diorio, an assistant he plucked from the audience, was up his sleeves.

Between Comito's arms and hands, and her tricked-out jacket he provided, Diorio seemed perplexed with his shenanigans.

Comito was one of three magicians who performed a magic and comedy show called “That’s Impossible!” April 6 at Egan's Ballard Jam House.

Performing with Comito were David Rudd and Philemon Vanderbeck.

I haven't laughed this hard in years -- and I laugh a lot
