Magicopolis
May 29th, 2010 | By Fly Guys
Yesterday I went to a magic show in Santa Monica at a place called Magicopolis.
The magician was very entertaining and so was his assistant “Olga”
(Chris Rock wasn’t there)
It was a good show! I liked everything about it except for 2 things that really rubbed me the wrong way.
1.) In the middle of the show they did that trick where he makes the lady float… I was in AWWWWW.. How were they doing this? Was it strings holding her up? No! because he used a hula hoop and put it all around her so we know what wasn’t it… but right before she got back to her seat on her way down, I think she may have gotten up too soon, or she fell or something… But I saw the board she was lying on…. It kinda ruined the rest of the show for me… I want to believe in magic… My good mind tells me
“No, they’re all tricks”
but then another part of me is saying…
“But what if it isn’t”
But for the rest of the show after I saw that board I was saying
“No, they’re all tricks”
I didn’t want to do that, it took away the experience.
2.) The grand finale wasn’t as epic as I wanted to be… the set up was, but the execution of it wasn’t.
I left the show moderately entertained… I wish I would have left like “no, they are wizards… how did they do that!?”
