Delightful, Entertaining, Enchanting

See it if You want a clever combination of Vaudeville and magic. Seeing this at The Palace gives the "Turn of The Century" theme that much more fun.

Don't see it if You don't like magic shows or vaudeville acts.

Entertaining

See it if There was some good magic. However, many of the tricks you could see if you went to a local NYC magic show for demo. It was entertaining.

Don't see it if You don't like magic.

Absorbing, Clever, Entertaining

See it if You like magic shows or still can be childlike in wondering "how they do that", if you want a nice night out esp a family night.

Don't see it if You expect the grandiose atmosphere of Vegas, if you are one to tear the illusions apart, if you can't just enjoy it for its own sake.

Dated, Fluffy, Overrated

See it if you love those mind boggling illusions that you have seen done many times, in many different ways by charming illusionists vaudeville style.

Don't see it if you are wanting never before seen amazing illusions that leave you spellbound & you don't want to deal with the worst mannered adults.

Entertaining, Disappointing, Cliched

See it if you like traditional magic shows with an ensemble of talented magicians and side show acts. Looking for a child friendly experience.

Don't see it if you are expecting large stage magic similar to that of Las Vegas acts like Penn and Teller or David Copperfield - It lacks Broadway luster.
