Masters of Illusion (Vegas)

Thumbs up! The venue was smaller which gives a better view no mattrr where you sit. The magicians were great and spun their acts with a great amount of humor. Mostly interactive with the audience seated in front tables so if that is what you are looking for, grab a table or booth.

Nubiles theatre is a nice venue, but the tableside seats next to the stage were rock hard (the regular/cheaper theatre style seats looked much more comfortable). Masters of Illusion was a below average show - 5 magicians, sounds like a plus - but there was a tremendous amount of redundancy amongst their tricks. On a budget, I would suggest the Burton show at PH - less expensive than MOI & better overall show; if able to spend a few bucks more, see Penn & Teller at Rio.

The show starts with and features a lady in a red satin cape swirling and twirling her arms. This was very cheesy and distracting to the show. Illusions were basic and included comedy, as well. Our seats were great but you could see people exiting the magic box from the rear which wasn't part of the act. Several of the acts were quite good though. Overall, not quite up to typical Vegas standards.

Very amateurish, with tricks from the 60's (levitation, sawing a woman in half). I've seen much better magicians walking around at my local restaurant. The only well done piece was one with a magician escaping from a straight jacket, which was very funny.

Many of the card tricks and other illusions are far from extraordinary. They are in fact quite simple and ordinary, found in almost every magic show anywhere. However, the levitation at the end and the helicopter in the box tricks are spectacular.
