Masters of Illusion - Live! Tickets

This show would be entertaining for children 12 and under maybe at a library event. I took my 17 year old son for part of his Hanukkah gift. I bought tickets several months ago and secured seats in the pit, just below the stage and back 4 rows center. All I can say about the show as a whole is that I felt I was watching 3 men/illusionists who were has beens. They should have stopped performing about 10 years ago. Again, a much younger show should be done that is geared towards kids.

There was too much talking and dancing, not enough magic by all three magicians. The two hour show included a 20 minute intermission. With three magicians taking turns doing short on stage bits, I don't know why an intermission was needed except to stretch out the show time. The "illusions" themselves weren't bad, but pretty standard fair, nothing new or surprising. There just could have been a lot more magic and less talking about it.

We were looking so forward to this performance...but we were super disappointed. The music was too loud. You could totally see how most of the tricks were done with a couple of the magicians. There really was no ""oohh or aahhh" factor with any of the performances. There was nothing really to believe in. We left at intermission because it was so bad.

Great show for the entire family. Watching the performance live is a unique experience and their tricks mind boggling. Would highly recommend

Save your money, this was probably the worst illusion/magic performance i have ever seen. For the price of the tickets, i was expecting something far greater, but what we got was a cheap Las Vegas five dollar street show. Seriously save your money, its not worth. Sorry performers, its time to retire or get some serious training from an expert.

Don't spend the money. so fake. Not good performers. Couldn't even do their tricks without mistakes

Not only were the "illusions" sub par, the production itself was amateur. The microphones did not work, the sound system was crackling and the lighting and curtains were way off timing.

Dillon Farrell was funny....the others were "ok". Very slow paced in my opinion and one illusionist was rather clumsy.

Started 15-20 min late. Trouble with audio during first few acts. Common tricks from smaller local acts. For the cost, we expected professionalism and to see something new.

This show was a disappointment to me and other attendees. The material was not spectacular and generated no "wow's" at all. At various points in the show, the artists struggled to get the audience enthused. There were no loud applauses or standing ovations. It seemed like card tricks were the highlight of the show. I would not recommend anyone spend serious cash to see this show. If you get a discount to see the show, ask for more change back. This was not what i thought the show was going to be like, thus my wish to have been offered my money back but we know how that works. I am giving this event a 2 star rating though i felt it was really a 1 star but lets give the artists a small break.

We are still talking about the things they did and are trying to figure out how they did it. It was very entertaining with the illusions but also adding a little comedy and background of the illusionists.

I bought these tickets as a anniversary gift for my husband and I but it was a disappointment and it baiscally ruined the night for us. The audience were leaving left and right and people were booing. The show was more for younger kids NOT adult at all. If I could get my money back so I could at least redo my anniversary night I would greatly appreciate it. The tickets were not cheap either. I paid a total of $80. Not happy at all. I hope whoever that's reading this will consider a refund of my tickets.

The show was entertaining but predictable. Farrell Dillon was by far the best and most entertaining. From what I saw online, I expected more performers and more wow! The illusions were all ones you have seen over and over again. Put the women in the box and slam big blades into the box. Looking from the side, we actually saw how one of the tricks was done. It wasn't a bad experience - just not great.

Show was very entertaining, there were a few slow minutes but in general it was funny, magic filled and well worth the price of admission.

The illusions for the most part were good, but the show seemed to drag and had very little flow to it.

To begin, one of the performers appeared drunk on stage. The magic was sloppy and something you could see at a high school talent show. Many people left mid way through the show. So disappointed. The only illusion I found to be baffling is how they are able to market this show... never again!

This show was so disappointing. Complete waste of money. My husband and I were laughing during most of the performance.....and it wasn't meant to be a comedy. Don't waste your money.

Good show glad i went. My guest liked it . Different

The pictures make this look like it's going to be an epic show. It's not. There is literally no set design. Whatever the stage of your venue looks like is how they keep it. Other than some small sparkling lights, there is no background or sets. It's pretty much a bare bones stage where a series of magicians come out and do their tricks. And many of the tricks were, quite frankly, the kind you would expect your kids to be showing off to you. Such as pulling things out of a hat, and pulling two rings apart from each other. They had several of those tricks where they put a female assistant in some kind of box, and then create the illusion of sticking swords through the box or folding the box into a smaller box. These are fun to watch, but it's stuff you may have seen many times before. One magician messed up one of these box tricks, as one of the levers apparently got stuck, and the curtain pulled away from the box too early, revealing the assistant's positioning in the box. One of the redeeming values of the show were the magician's themselves. Most had great personalities, we very charismatic and charming, and immediately following the show they stood by the front door to greet audience members. So over all it was a nice show, but don't expect anything epic.

First and foremost I must confess I love magic shows and have been to literally 100's. Jonathan Pendragon is one of my favorite performers. I actually had the honor of meeting him when he was performing at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. Extremely personable and very good at his craft. Though I had not seen the other performers for a $70 ticket I was expecting a little more than "metamorphosis", a classic illusion performed satisfactorily with a certain level of panache. That illusion was the finale of a 90 minute show. With 5 performers and the ticket price I expected at least a two hour show and I expected some type of grand illusion. I was disappointed. Perhaps the venue limited what could be done but I have seen better shows at an amusement park. No disrespect intended toward the performers, perhaps I expected too much in today's world.
