Unreal show it was a mind blowing tech Savy fun magical extavaganza with great music and comedy and light show but the best part was def Criss closeup magic illusion and his new stuff love love loved and would see it again the guy throwing cards was magnificent also great job guys
What a great show so entertaining we loved it especially the kids!! We are going to go see it for a second time!! All of the magicians are AMAZING!!
Show was amazing. All the illusionists were amazing. Crisis Angel did old fashioned close up magic right in front of me and I have no ideas how he did it! Haven't seen a show this good in ages. Seats were excellent also.
This was a fantastic show, my whole family loved it. The acts were great, and I loved the dog acts. Everyone should get to see it. Only thing I wish Criss Angel did more of his famous acts instead of a few plus he didn't come out until the intermission.
I really wanted to love this show! The venue was painfully empty, which was embarrassing. I felt bad for the performers, but I also saw just too much from the balcony. There were many tells that were revealed. Maybe if I had been on the floor, it wouldn't have been as obvious. found the dogs the most entertaining part of the show, it should have been obvious that the rest was not very interesting. I would have liked to use my phone, not to take pics, but to do anything to find something to occupy my attention. I was so bummed.
The show was fantastic from start to finish! They did amazing illusion's right in our face and nothing was ever detected except amazing artistry! I can't pick one thing over another as the best act because they were all amazing!!! Make sure you put this on your bucket list because it's an amazing event that you'll never forget. Some of the cast even signed autographs and gladly took pictures with every one that wanted too. I hope to see them again someday. Thanks for a great night of amazement!!!
I had no idea what I was in for when I sat down in my seats at the Akron Civic Theater to watch 9 illusionists and magicians from around the globe with Criss Angel scheduled to introduce all of them via live feed from Las Vegas! I was DEFINITELY not disappointed! As a matter of fact, although Criss Angel was not scheduled to be part of the show, he actually showed up & performed some magic / illusions himself, including the actual sawing a live woman in half on a large rectangular surface angled towards the audience! 2 members of the audience were chosen at random to come up & inspect the rectangular surface to assure its solid integrity. There was no denying that! All in all the show was SUPER SPECTACULAR and actually included comedy, which was a welcome addition to the show! Last but definitely not least, I have always enjoyed the music played during one of Criss Angel TV specials. This live show was no different and the DJ playing the music was absolutely superb in his choice of the music which went along with each of the 9 magician's acts! I would recommend this to anyone & everyone who has a fascination with magic & illusions! I am grateful Criss came to North Ohio to perform @ one of my 2 favorite venues in the Cleveland-Akron area!
Well I was very disappointed in this show it was not worth the Money and the Tricks I have seen a Million times there were only Two Tricks that Wowed me ! Criss Angel was there and he came out and did a couple of Tricks with a Ball Cap On and No Make Up and he acted like he could of cared less about being in Ohio. I have seen him in Las Vegas and he is a Showman here it was just BORING !!!!!
Show was full of cool illusions. Some were silly...done in humor. Overall, what I expected. One note, however, several illusions done up front in audience so those with inexpensive seats had to watch on tv screens. This took away from the show for me.
Reviewers often seem to think Chris Angel was supposed to appear. But, there was nothing in the ads that should have made anyone think he would be present. These magicians are being presented by Chris Angel, as the best from around the world, in different forms of magic. So, I was not disappointed that Chris was not there. That was was what I expected. The audience in Devos Center was small-- only about 1/3 full. So, the small audience really detracts from the feeling of awe. Had the place been full, the audience reaction to the magic tricks would have been much more enthusiastic. The Great Meastro & Fifi were the comic relief, but were kind of hokey. They did do one great illusion, though. They probably should have concentrated more on illusions and less on jokes. Stefan Vanel "The Manipulator" was astounding. Don't have the faintest idea how he did his card manipulations. Spencer Horsman is a master escape artist, and he performed an escape that had almost killed him a week or so earlier. To me, the most amazing illusions were the cutting of a woman in half. There were two versions of this presented. The presentation in this show was a step above any other that I have seen. The 1st involved a box, but we could see the woman's entire body as she got into the box. This differs from other versions, where the woman gets into the box, but her torso is hidden by the sides of the box. So, this is really stepping up the game. (I don't know how they did this.) The 2nd woman cut in half was on a big table, and audience members came up to touch her top half and her legs, to verify that they were actually the real woman. Then, cut in half, her legs were pulled from her torso, and all limbs were moving. Then, a pair of torso-less legs came walking across the stage. These legs did not appear to be robots. They moved as smoothly as any normal person. This was a real top-notch illusion, stepping up the game beyond any that I've seen before. There were other amazing illusions involving dogs (large long-haired poodles), and other fantastic tricks. The lighting was excellent. The cost of the show was a bit expensive (about $95/person w/ fees and taxes). But, the cast was very large, and the equipment needed for this show was quite extensive. It could be argued that you cannot get a big magic show like this without paying for all the stuff that goes with it. Overall, I enjoyed the whole show, but thought the Meistro and Fifi act was too corny. The other problem was that the audience was too small to have the full experience that such a big show really demands. Not sure if this was a marketing problem, or if GR is not a big magic-loving town.
Our family purchased $1200.00 worth of tickets to attend as a group. The title and ticket were deceiving. Chriss Angel wasn't there in person. Instead, they connected with him via a live feed from Las Vegas (nice for him)!! He can sell tickets with the assumption that he will come to Cincinnati, but instead he decided to stay in Vegas!! The "other" magicians which he "presented from afar" were just ok. The mc's of the show were so cheesy that we felt like we were on a cruise ship watching one of the "has been" comedians. There were only 2 "Supernaturalists" that were worthwhile. The disappointment was felt not only among my family, but with others that we spoke with. One father brought his daughter there to see Chriss Angel for her 18th birthday. He was fuming mad when the 2nd act came and Chriss wasn't there.
This was a total ripoff. There were a number of performers, of decidedly mixed skill. A couple did amaze, but mostly it was just cheesy, fairly obvious tricks. Also, I have never seen such a poor crowd at any event in any Cincinnati venue. The Taft Theater seats 2500, and there could not have been 300 there. The "comic relief" pair came out before the show, and moved the cheap-seat people to nearer the front, adding to my feeling of having WAY over paid. Also, it is BILLED as the Criss Angel tour - he is not on it, and his video segments suggest he is live, but it is obviously taped. Never again anything magic, but Copperfield who blows me away with EVERY trick.
At $70 a ticket you got about 10 magic/illusion tricks.. Entire performance was about 1 hour 45 minutes and 30 minutes of that was intermission and a comedy duo that really added nothing to the show.
The show came to town Criss went on our local fox affiliate and said he would be preforming at the show. Halfway through he came on tv "live from vegas". Almost $200 before we parked. The show was ok. The lighting was pretty shotty. The illusionists there were pretty good. I can't bash them. It just wasn't what was advertised. I did some more research online AFTER the show. Apparently he does this all the time. He won't get anymore money out of me.
I was super excited to take my 10-year old to watch this show! I didn't mind paying more than I expected (about $150 for 2 less than ideal seats) because it my my birthday weekend and I thought it'd be nice to do something special like this. Well... was I mistaken! The theater was at least 2/3 empty on a Saturday night, which is never a good sign - at least we were able to move to the 2nd row :) We are huge America's Got Talent watchers, and I must say that I didn't see anything in this show that I hadn't seen on TV, which was disappointing. Chriss Angel is not there, but he shows up "live" (who knows?) for a quick, suspenseless trick - kinda "let me rush back to my million dollar Vegas show." The other weird thing is that it looks like they're not sure about who their audience is. There are 2 MC-like hosts who act like clowns, a little too much for adults. But, on the other hand, the female helpers and performers are dressed as in an S&M movie - in skimpy leather bikinis, acting in overly sexual moves. I'm not a prude and have pretty open conversations with my son, but even he's mentioned that they looked like strippers... Still, the kiddo enjoyed it, and that's what mattered on that occasion. Had I gone with another adult, I'd be pissed for spending that much money on less than entertaining magic. Had I paid half of what I paid, I'd probably be writing a better review :o)
Saw the Supernaturalists this weekend with my husband and daughters. Spent $292 on tickets for the show which started at 8:00 and ended about 9:45. Within that time was a 10 minute intermission and 15-20 minutes of a comedy duo that really added nothing to the show. Total, there was about 1:15 minutes of magic or about 8-10 illusions/tricks. The magic that was performed was good, but not worth $292 for 4 people!
The show was entertaining. Very good illutionists......they were so good that they made CRISS ANGEL DISAPPEAR! I paid money to see him...not 10 other people doing his tricks. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!#
Criss Angel had out done himself yet again with this spectacular traveling group of master illusionists, escape artists, close up magic and comedy fun! I have followed Criss since the beginning and when I heard about this, i had to check it out! As luck would have it, Criss himself was there in person on the night of my show and i got to watch the man himself in action. Even without Criss, the group is astounding and the illusions and escapes are off the charts! The only way to go is up in this show! I can't wait to see them again! It will only get better and better!
Took my son as a surprise. Loved the show. Very well done and we both walked away amazed by their talent. They were very generous to do pictures and autographs after the show.
The show was poorly attended and now I know why. For a date night out should have gone to a movie and taco bell.. End result would have been the same. Chris angels prerecorded 'live feeds' from LV was retarded and the screens were way to small for the venue! The stage show was silly not funny. I was thanking my lucky stars we didnt bring our kids as at some points during the show i thought the girls were going to start stripping... Playboy Bunnies vs Chip 'n Dales. It's sad that performers with such potential were allowed to to put on second rate show I was ready to leave during the intermission.
