Dry Diggings Festival

I was a bit nervous about how much I'd like The Supernaturalists, because I heard they were going to do some of Criss' signature illusions, and I'd prefer HIM to perform them. I was not disappointed. Every act was amazing in a different way. Johnny Dominguez did insane and hilarious magic with dogs, Banachek read the audiences mind, Chloe Crawford did crazy stuff with razor blades, Spencer Horsman performed his Water Torture Cell, Landon did amazing "grand illusions", Maestro and Fifi were hysterical in the opening of the show, and Adrian Vega turned four $1 to $100. But I must say, my favorite of them all, was Stefan Vanel, from Paris. There were no words spoken during his act, and that made it better. He just produced an insane amount of cards from his hands, with no sleeves on. Colors and sparkles all over the place, with a great song in the background. The audience was left speechless. I would go to this show a million times, Criss in it or not. He hosts the show on screen, but it really feels like he's there. Don't hold back from going just because he might not be in it, it's still an incredible experience. After a 10 minute intermission, it was Criss Angel's turn. After appearing on stage, he performed 6 AWESOME illusions. My favorites being Metamorphosis, and his version of a coin trick called "Explosion", which he performed in the middle of the audience. After the show, we all had the pleasure of meeting the entire cast (including Criss) in the lobby of the theater. I was almost dead last in line, but everyone was still excited and very nice when they greeted me. Even Criss let me speak for as long as I wanted, and everyone signed stuff, and took photos. It ended as the PERFECT night, and one that YOU won't ever forget!

Saw him before and this concert was even better!!!

Great night! Front row, great atmosphere, listened to legends, all for $20!! Would def see Rakim again, and would recommend The Varsity!

Everything was perfect. I enjoyed all the time. It was organized and safe. The ecosystem was perfectly nice so i wad able to hear all sounds. It was one of the best night in my life.

Excellent Show....energetic and entertaining! Had an awesome time! A Must see!

Had seats in the left upper and the way they positioned Ottmar could hardly see him - he was definitely not placed in the center of the stage. But other than not being able to see him the staff is very friendly and helpful and the music was a great way to finish the week off. Ottmar is an awesome guitarist.

Yanni is always amazing This time it s was special and wonderful

Neon Trees gave the performance of a lifetime. Tyler Glenn promised a special show to make up for a sore throat(I never noticed) and he delivered. The show was alive and the band was as tight as ever. There was raw emotions, Tyler gave all he had and the audience gave him their love right back. I want to know when Neon Trees will be back in the area but I know of no better venue then the State Theatre Saint Petersburg, Florida.

Jaymes is such a soft-spoken, kind, and shy guy you would be surprised at his amazing abilities onstage! Jaymes told us we were his first-ever sold out show, and that he was nervous. I couldn't even tell! He's definitely talented, and the music is relaxing yet beautiful-just like the studio versions. He's definitely great to see if you're on a date and want to have some live musical meditation. Honestly I want to be his friend, he seems like a cool dude!

From the moment the play began, we felt as though we were immersed in the African experience. The rhythmic sounds of the conga drums combined with the tribal patterned costumes all provided a certain authenticity to the experience! This show is a must-see for everyone, regardless of whether or not they ve seen the film adaptation of The Lion King!
