Half-term week sees London’s Criterion Theatre packed for Jamie Allan’s Amaze, the latest magic show from this talented UK performer.
Themed around Allan’s childhood, his background and his evident love for his (now deceased) parents, Amaze includes some spectacular sleight of hand and illusions. Close up cameras ensure that even those in the cheaper seats can catch the details, and for the most part the audience are wowed by Allan’s genius. Decks of cards are toyed with, mathematical improbabilities leave us stunned and there’s even a woman who’s levitated off the stage - what more could anyone want from a magic show?
There are moments when Allan’s reflections on his life’s journey - while no doubt sincere - are perhaps too intense, but that’s his choice and it’s his show.
For an evening of traditional family entertainment, Amaze is amazing!
Runs until 23rd November
