Vegas Magic Show Reviews
Hi y'all. I went to Vegas this past weekend and saw 3 different magic shows. I'm by no means a magician but I am a huge magic fan so I am somewhat familiar with how different tricks and illusions work. Here is my review of the shows I saw.
###Nathan Burton Comedy Magic
Started out with a bit of a dud to be quite honest. He performed at the Miracle Mile Shops at the Planet Hollywood. A lot of his stuff was some illusions that we've all seen before, contortionists and all that and while I don't doubt that he worked very hard on his props, a lot of the illusions weren't as clean as they could have been. It also seemed like he was just doing this as a job. Like he was just collecting a paycheck and wasn't that proud to be on stage performing. This is definitely a show intended for families and children so if you're looking to be impressed, this is not the one to go to.
**Rating 5/10**
###Shin Lim Limitless feat. Colin Cloud
Fantastic show. Some really cool props and sleight of hand magic. Colin also had some really cool mindreading magic which I had no idea how it worked and was mind boggling to me. I really hope to see more of Colin in the future. I also wanted to get this show in before the Mirage was torn down. The issue I had with this show was the flow and theming. It seemed Shin Lim struggled to decide if his show was going to be a super serious Copperfield type show or a fun, laugh your ass off kinda show. Still extremely good as far as talent goes.
**Rating: 9/10**
###Farrell Dillon Comedy Magic
This one walks the line between standup and comedy and had me laughing my ass off the entire time. This took place at the Jimmy Kimmel Comedy Club on the Linq Promenade. Some really good magic, some which I had a good idea on the method and others which I didn't. But the comedy in this show was fantastic and it's the exact kind of act that probably wouldn't win a trophy but Penn and Teller would love nonetheless. I enjoyed every minute. Farrell has a way of working the crowd and interacting with audience volunteers that was always impressive and hilarious at the same time. He also clearly loves performing his show. It was really everything I could have asked for from a comedy magic show.
