Las Vegas may be famous for over-the-top productions, but as we know, size isn’t everything. Some of the best entertainment gems can be found in more intimate venues. Legerdemain is one of those gems. This is intimate, closeup magic and crafted cocktails in a speakeasy.
Your magical journey begins in the 1923 Prohibition Bar in the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian as you sip one of the two specialty crafted cocktails included to help get you in the mood and enjoy the close-up action and audience interaction. The second libation is served during the show.
It’s clear that you’re in for an amazing time as a hostess takes you through the hidden door that leads you to this enchanting world. Perhaps you will be one of the 45 audience members tapped as part of the mystifying and highly entertaining mind-blowing illusions in this constant motion “crowd” pleaser.
Yes, the venue is intimate. But if you ever thought that being closer to the action you’d be able to figure out how these tricks are done –wrong. The slight of hand is noteworthy. Audience members can be heard mumbling, “There’s no way…”
Legerdemain is defined as “slight of hand”. And is it ever – There’s an engaging warm-up by Zack Korey with entertaining conversation and a traditional rope trick, but then the mystifying begins.
Star John Accardo‘s engaging personality simply brings the excellence to a high level with his humorous patter and comedy as he moves from one astonishing slight-of-hand maneuver to the next. The cards or balls move, fly, and relocate. John’s cell phone trick will have you shaking your head in disbelief weeks later. Zack Korey interacts with Accardo and provides additional enjoyable comedy throughout the show.
Audience members are asked to pick a card or a favorite movie or announce their birthdays and the answers resurface as integral parts of the illusions. The action is fast paced and amazing. You will be blown away, amused, and thoroughly entertained at Legerdemain. Prices vary for front row or groups. For information, contact 1923lv.com.
