REVIEWS

“M. Tóth knows how to orchestrate things and use surprise as a narrative card trick for good measure”

HYPEANDHYPER, 26 January, 2021 “We see high potential in the project to stimulate the audience’s inspiration and imagination, regardless of age and culture, it can satisfy the eternal human puzzle-solving wants.”
