Simon is a first-class Showman with a Capital “S” AND “an alien of extraordinary ability” (per the passport that brought him here from his native Australia). Paying a premium price to see the sort of slick, audience-involving magic that I’ve come to expect as a member of The Magic Castle was fine with me. Simon has a classy, entertaining show, wisely video-embellished to take advantage of the larger seating capacity of the theatre, and he interacts wonderfully with those audience members who cannily seated themselves in the first three rows. He deserves to do well here in America!
