you ready?” he screams, reciprocated with
cheers and whistles from the crowd - more
like a concert than a magic show - and the
show is off and running.
Appearance of Criss
For the next ninety minutes there really is
no letup in pace, with most illusions lasting
less than two minutes. A clear Perspex
chamber is covered momentarily before
four dancers appear inside. Images of magician Chloe Crawford are projected around
the theatre whilst cast members wheel a
luggage cart onto the stage. Her digital
image leaps out of the video into the cart
where she makes her first instantaneous
appearance.
Many moments in the show had my
scratching my head, but the next one is
a real fooler even for a knowledgeable
illusionist. In a tip of the hat to Richiardi,
Criss and Chloe perform a fantastic version
of a classic of stage illusion. To get a better
understanding of what I am about to describe jump away from the review for one
moment and check out this video:
