Having seen some of the greatest magicians of our time, perhaps the expectation was set too high, but in this show there were too many slow or awkward parts, no razzle-dazzle. The only act that was pretty good was the headliner escaping from the small metal box. Other than that, it lacked fluidity and energy. It seemed the performers are assuming a lot of what they think the audience can see clearly, you can't. IE: When people keep saying "the blood on the stage", you cant see anything on the stage, or when the host pretended to put stakes or whatever they were through the girl, the prop is so small and if you are sitting off to the side, as I was, you cant see anything of any effect. And the girl needs to enhance her acting skills. <br />If you go, go with the expectation this is a "junior" show, perhaps think "practicing" magicians.

It was short and not gory at all and i have a feeling it was set up with the audience prior to the show because certain seats had papers with names on them and only those people were picked to go up. I didnt enjoy it so im not sure how its still going on when it was trully that bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
