It's tricky to find the words to describe this show, seeing as the majority of the positive ones have probably been used before. Comments such as 'amazing', 'spectacular', 'jaw dropping' are lathered across social media and posters advertising the event. All of them are correct. All of them are words I would also use when talking about the production.

BroadwayWorld UK reporter Janie Body sat down to chat with James, Yu and Paul to talk about the show's return to the West End and to find out what inspired them to get into magic.

The world masters of magic are returning to Sydney with their spectacular production, The Illusionists: Direct From Broadway, materialising in the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall for a strictly limited season from 19 to 29 December 2018.

Gone are the days of the magic wand, rabbit, and top hat. Instead, THE ILLUSIONISTS LIVE FROM BROADWAY delivers a balanced mix of mind readers, escape artists, sleight-of-hand and disappearing acts to the stage. The standout of the show is Forensic Mind Reader Colin Cloud (aka The Deductionist). Cloud opens the show and returns in the second act to deliver a mind-bending performance that mesmerizes the audience, just as he did the judges on last season's 'America's Got Talent.' The producers of 'The Illusionists' should give him more stage time, as his performance alone is worth the price of admission, cementing his place as the face of a 'new generation of magicians" (although he is more entertainer and comedian than a magician per se).

Over the weekend, THE ILLUSIONISTS impressed the audience at The Bushnell in Hartford, Connecticut with an opening show of incredible tricks, hilarious comedy, and more.
