  • OK, I admit it -- I'm a bit of a magic junkie. I have seen pretty much every magic show available in Las Vegas, including David Copperfield (twice), Penn & Teller (twice), Mat Franco (from America's got Talent), Nathan Burton, Matt King, Piff the Magic Dragon (also AGT), Tommy Wind, and tens of additional shows that are no longer playing. I can say without a doubt that Xavier Mortimer's Magical Dream is absolutely the best show currently playing in Vegas, and after about three decades of obsessive magic watching, it's my second all-time favorite Las Vegas Magic Show (World Champion Lance Burton in the 80's and 90's is #1). Whereas most other magic shows are about the tricks, Xavier Mortimer's storytelling ability elevates the show to a spectacle, where you can't take your eyes off a single moment: every instant is fantastical and unbelievable, whether there is magic involved or not. Far more than just a magician, this ex- Cirque de Soleil performer is a musician (he composed much of the music in the show himself, and can play a broad assortment instruments, such as when he plays the clarinet while magical spinning head over foot), a talented mime-like actor, an acrobat, a juggler, an inventor (I think all of the magic in the show is purely original, of his own creation -- none of the other big-named magicians above can say the same). The show is funny, at times sexy (but not so much that you can't bring kids), and it all holds together in a beautiful fairy-tale story that unfolds before your disbelieving eyes. The only thing that I would change about the show is that I would hold it in a theater about 5-10 times larger. It's great to be in such an intimate space with the performer, but you are almost too close at times -- I literally feared for my head as a dancing broom was flying about, as my legs were literally extended UNDER the stage, I was that close. Go see this show, I promise you will not be disappointed!
