What I liked

The finale of this show is one of the most perfect endings to a magic show, or really any theatrical experience, I have ever seen. It was absolute perfection.

What I didn't like

I would love to see the show utilize a video screen and an on stage camera. There were some wonderful moments moments of close-up magic that were hard to see at the back of the house.

My overall impression

One of the best pieces of magic I have ever seen is the transformation of Liz Toonkel from the beginning of this show to the end. What appears to be a tradition magic show with sparkly sequins and a simple message, over the course of the hour evolves into something beautifully soul baring that had me tearing up and the entire audience on their feet for a well deserved standing ovation.
