Now You See Me Live Critic Reviews

"Is there an opposite of close-up magic? If there is, it would look a bit like the magic in Now You See Me, which must be visible (and audible) from space. This new spectacle, heading later this year to its spiritual home of Las Vegas, spins off from the movie franchise of the same name and features a quartet of conjurors (identifying, rather awkwardly, as "the Horsemen") performing feats of escapology, mentalism and even time travel amid much bombastic son et lumire and self-promotion.

It could scarcely be more pompous but happily, there are plenty of entertaining tricks to keep pomp-phobes like myself onside."
- The Guardian

"Now You See Me Live is a high-octane, jaw-dropping spectacle that will have you questioning if anything you're seeing is what it seems. The show features four magicians/illusionists (Enzo Weyne, Andrew Basso, Gabriella Lester, and Matthew Pomeroy) known as the Horsemen, like in the movie franchise of the same name; however, this has no relation to the films; it is really the only reference in the show. There are also three special guests, as seen on Britain's Got Talent, among other credits: Eden Choi, Fraser Penman, and Rafferty Coope."

"Now You See Me Live pulls it off with real style, delivering a fast-paced, slick show that keeps you guessing from start to finish. Built around the same blend of magic, heist and showmanship that made the films so popular, this is a production designed to dazzle, and for the most part, it does exactly that."
- London Theatre Reviews

"Alongside the four Horsemen are three guest performers, all from Britain's Got Talent and none of whom are given enough time to really show off their skills. Finalist Rafferty Coope has contagious enthusiasm, but is little more than a warm-up act, and visually impaired hypnotist Fraser Penman's stage time is fleeting. But despite the fact he only has moments on stage, the standout of the whole show is Eden Choi, who manipulates cards and small balls with such astonishing sleight of hand you really can believe he is creating magic."
- London Theatre

"While inspired by the film franchise, Now You See Me Live bears little resemblance to the movies. Instead, it's an excuse for a two-hour magic and escapology show. All the acts are slick and are accompanied by flashing lights and dramatic music. However, to the detractors, it's all done with smoke and mirrors and mathematics."
- The Reviews Hub

"You're not paying for Chekhov, nor are you paying for a new stage adventure from the movie characters: you're paying to have your mind blown by some top-flight magicians, and in that respect Now You See Me Live delivers."
- TimeOut

"An abundance of human heart"
- The Stage

"Bringing the hit film franchise to the stage is no small task, but Now You See Me Live pulls it off with real style, delivering a fast-paced, slick show that keeps you guessing from start to finish. Built around the same blend of magic, heist and showmanship that made the films so popular, this is a production designed to dazzle, and for the most part, it does exactly that."
- London Theatre Reviews

"Who knew it would just take some gargantuan lights and pumping, foreboding music to get a crowd hyped up? The producers of Now You See Me Live certainly got the memo! We are introduced to the show by Rafferty Coope (recently seen on ITV's Britain's Got Talent) with a quick trick and some audience participation. Then the show truly begins. Over the next few hours, each specialist performs a trick or two as we head the big finale. Now You See Me Live is a bona-fide magical spectacular based on the blockbuster franchise of the same name."
