| - I really liked his show. I don't know where these negative reviews are coming from. I've heard that he recently revamped his show, maybe that's why it's better? It's true that while it's listed as a Cirque de Soleil show, it really isn't. It's just a straight magic show.
Criss has a sidekick, Maestro, who is so funny. He opened the show with a few tricks of his own. I've read some reviews where people said that all Criss did was show video clips of himself. From what I experienced, he showed 2 clips, which were about 2 minutes each. It wasn't most of the show. Criss was funny, energetic, and not full of himself at all. His dad passed away from cancer, so he has a charity that pertains to that. He told the audience to donate money in the retail shop, and at the end of the year he would match what people donated.
He did some disappearing and reappearing acts. He made his motorcycle appear in a box. He sawed his blond assistant in half. He made doves appear and disappear. He had put some info about audience members in a box before asking them, which turned out to be true. These were some of the acts he performed.
Cameras and video recorders are not permitted in the theater. They made sure that all cell phones were put away. I read that 5 minutes before the show ended, he would let people take pics of him. This never happened. We never got to take out our photo devices at anytime during the show.
I was entertained for the hour and a half show. I would definitely see it again if I had the chance.
