“Magic you are promised and magic is delivered in Megan Hicks’ latest CD No Tricks. Just Magic.
Magic trumps trickery every time.

Hicks has never been in better voice. The sound on this CD is flawless. The stories are tight. When the roller coaster stops, the good guy has won. If only real life could guarantee the same.

“ There are few times in a reviewer’s experience when the hairs on the back of his neck rise at the end of a story.

“Groundhogs Meet Grimm is a homerun. A game-winning grand-slam in the bottom of the ninth inning kind of homerun. ...The writing is knowing, witty, chock full of delightful references, and, unlike the popular culture she so expertly skewers, assumes intelligence in the listener.”
