    Outdated humor

    by NDLansing on 12/18/10Soaring Eagle Casino - Mt. Pleasant

    The show went along as expected at the beginning with some illusions, corny jokes, and audience participation. Not high art, but it was a serviceable show. Until Fool Ing You. I understand that Jeff Hobson doesn't find his character offensive, but wow. I'm sure I'll be cast as part of the "P.C. Crowd," but I was blown away by the "Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's" over the top performance. This may have been excusable as an unfortunate attempt at humor back in 1961, but not in 2010. At first, I thought it was going to be some meta humor, but no. Bucked teeth, bad accent, the whole nine yards. I was just as offended as I would have been if Mr. Hobson would have performed in black-face. I left the performance. There was plenty of humor at the expense of gay folks too, with the opening, "Are you happy? Are you gay?" getting an uncomfortable reaction. The drag and flamboyance seemed to poke fun as well. The humor overshadowed the magic, and in the worst way possible.

    Carnival of Wonders was GREAT!

    by LaceDawg1 on 9/10/09Trump Plaza - Atlantic City

    My boyfriend and I absolutely loved the Carnival of Wonders show! I wish I could remember all their names but the magician was really really good and the other main guy performer was hilarious!! Foo Ling You was pretty funny but that man had us rolling with laughter the whole time! I actually had forgotten my tickets at home (in MD) and didnt realize it til we were already an hour on the road to Atlantic City, NJ and I was sooo very upset with myself for forgetting them. But I bought new tickets when we got there and I'm very glad i did! Thanks for the great show!

    Entertaining

    by Marlynne on 9/9/09Trump Plaza - Atlantic City

    The show was so entertaining that you'll ask for more...It was a combination of fun, magic and entertainment for everyone. I went with my husband , my son and my parents and everyone had a good time. My parents were hesitant at first because they just thought it will be another one of those Magic shows but with the comedy and musical numbers with colorful customes they were so happy they went to see it.

    Amazing, especially for the price!

    by kegger13 on 9/7/09Trump Plaza - Atlantic City

    Kalin and Jinger are wonderful magicians, and Hobson is hilarious! The watch trick was great, and we were entertained for the whole 90 mins. Our kids are 5 and 8 and were mesmerized. There were some double-entendres that went completely over their heads, but overall, it was fine for kids. It was a fun night!

    Fantastically Entertaining!

    by SaraPheenie on 9/6/09Trump Plaza - Atlantic City

    I saw this show with my 4 year old daughter in Atlantic City. It was her first time in the city and she was amazed at every turn but nothing caught her attention more then Jinger. She moves across the stage and you can't help but watch where she is going, but make no mistake she isn't the only sparkle in this production! Mr. Hobson had my little girl laughing from the moment he took the stage and though some of the jokes where more mature then what she would know he presented them in a way that a little kid would realize they should be funny and laugh along with the grown ups. Mark Kalin presents his gifts of magic making you feel as if he is preforming just for you and his genuine love of his craft is evident from the moment he appears to the very last trick. Highlights of the show are Jinger's levitation (my daughters favorite part) and Kalin's very tender moment where he displays the first trick he ever tried for a very special audience (my favorite part) but the whole show will have you captivated truly. After the show we were lucky enough to meet the stars and take pictures with them as well. It was an evening I am certain that my daughter will be talking about for years to come and was the best way I could think of to introduce my baby girl to the stage. I had read some other reviews that said this show wasn't good for little kids but we had a small boy about her age sitting next to us who was very rowdy prior to the show and silent and mesmerized during. I'm very glad I ignored the other reviews and gave the show a chance and I strongly recommend it to other families! I really wish we had gone earlier because I would've gone back again with my son. I hope they come back this way soon and if they do we will sure be going again.
