Had to see this show twice since the first show was stopped just after the introduction by Maestro due to an emergency alarm. We were guided to the parking lot and never told it wasn't a part of the show. With a crowd waiting in the parking lot expecting something to happen, we finally gave up after 30 minutes and went back to the strip (it turns out it was a code yellow - smell of gas, chemicals)
We attended the show on the next day and the conclusions are the following:
- This should by no means be labelled a Cirque show - as a Canadian a bit disappointed they would be associated - obviously a money-grab by Cirque
- The tricks are pretty much copied from David Copperfield - what a joker this Criss Angel guy is - but kudos - he has made it
- Most of the tricks are not hard to figure out - in the end, the lights came on early and you could see him slip behind the curtain - these slip ups happened a few times - not too impressed
- Certainly not for kids as both the jokes and tricks are adult natured
- POSITIVE POINT - I found Maestro extremely funny and he was definitely enjoyable to watch - hope he continues on with another magician in the future
Recommended if you are a huge fan or if you have free/cheap tickets. Wouldn't dish out the $85 we paid per ticket again.
