Be amazed: Jamie Allan exploiting high-tech illusions
❚ IN AUGUST WAS BOWLED OVER by an evening of 16 (I think!) fresh and original magical illusions under the title of Jamie Allan’s Amaze at London’s Marylebone theatre. This month it rightly transfers to the West End’s Criterion Theatre for a 47-show season. Declared “a master class in magic” by the Chicago Tribune, this superb live event thrills adults and kids alike as Allan blends state-of-the-art technology with timeless conjuring techniques, often involving members of the audience. In August he staged a baffling finale where he produced so many cards from nowhere to cover the stage’s floor, having removed his jacket so we could blatantly see there was nothing up anybody’s sleeves! I’ll be going again.
