technic finish that is just ridiculous! He celebrates the lightning fast transposition by rapidly gesturing to different areas
of the floor that create huge fire bursts before he is surrounded by a curtain of real fire that fills the whole stage. At this
point I’ve had my money’s worth! We are all just blown away!
In a change of pace, now you are allowed to settle and take
breath as Criss invites members of the audience, chosen at
random, to make some decisions that end up predicted on a
piece of paper which is inside a glass jar, inside a case that has
been suspended in a chest above the stage since the start of
the show. If you think you may have seen this before, I gotta
tell you, this is another one of those moments that really has
you fooled. I don’t want to say too much about why right here,
but if you are familiar with existing methods for this style of
routine you are thrown a serious curve ball.
Master Magician Lance Burton then makes an appearance on
the video screens before the first of two key moments in the
show that pay homage to this legendary Vegas performer.
Criss recreates Lance’s sword fighting sequence(6 minutes
in on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOyS42lYN0o). However, this has been brought right up to date.
Because of video graphics projected onto gauze right in front
of the live action, the performers are not just sword fighting.
