One of the fun things watching a magic or an illusion
performance is trying to figure out how the tricks were executed. When so many tricks were revealed on TV, it
would be up to the performers to deliver a slick routine, and of course
entertain the audience.
Overall, The Illusionists, playing at the Mastercard
Theatres of the Marina Bay Sands, managed to capture our imagination and attention. The Clairvoyanys’ Thommy Ten and Amelie van
Tass kept us guessing how they managed to mind read the audience; Krendl the
Escapologist escaped from the watertank, and Charlie Frye with his comic timing
and acrobatics. Not all acts worked
though, and the show lacked a storyline.
Nonetheless, it was good fun and audience enjoyed the
interactive card trick. The encore piece
by Hyun Joon Kim (the Manipulator) with a Singapore element closed the show
well. All in, a good night out.
