LV-426 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) I guess judging from that review it is just a regular magic show? does not sound that appealing at first read Edited August 30, 2012 by Mr. Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CinemaOfTheDead Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) interesting, very interesting. DO we know where this will be? BJ theatre? Yes it will. This magic act isn't very popular and it's a local group that started in Tampa I believe so hopefully they are a diamond in the rough other than a show to skip all the times which I have the feeling I get hope Im wrong. Plus the "naked illusionist" does not help in the slightest Edited August 30, 2012 by CinemaOfTheDead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV-426 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I just dont understand why is Uni obsessed with magic, why couldn't they give us a show like Rocky Horror but original, or something else, something with some singing, I don't know....

dave Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Not really a fan of gross out gags, but I do love illusionists so I will most likely be checking this show out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwrestledabearonce Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hate all you want people, but I enjoyed every iteration of Brian Brushwood they've had. Definitely enjoy the magic shows uni has optioned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perse Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I have a hard time imagining this work on a big stage, seems like almost all their stuff is catered toward small audiences and seeing things close to really get the illusion. I'm assuming they are working to create new material that will work on a bigger scale. I kind of like their style, a nod to old school magic and freakshows. Hell it's better than cris angel or crap like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WESKER69 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 ^Death Drums was a great addition last year, but its "float" was dismantled and became two floats for the Superstar Parade. I just dont understand why is Uni obsessed with magic, why couldn't they give us a show like Rocky Horror but original, or something else, something with some singing, I don't know.... Universal isnt obsessed with magic. The whole "magic show" thing isn't a new concept for HHN (orlando & Hollywood). They've had original shows along with other forms of entertainment back during the pre-IOA event years. The problem is budget cutting. Universal doesn't want to spend the money to provide 4+ shows like they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV-426 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 they did. Last year. And everybody complained. I really liked Death Drums, it was fun, it was new, at first I didn't know what to think, but I really loved it by the end, I was really hoping it made a comeback, i guess I am one of the only few that actually liked it ^Death Drums was a great addition last year, but its "float" was dismantled and became two floats for the Superstar Parade.

SRH Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) a Coney Island style side show would have been much better. But this could be a twist on one... hope it is... Edited August 31, 2012 by SRH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZKeeper Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I to was wondering what this show would be like. So I watched one of their videos and color me unimpressed. Weird that I did enjoy Brushwood's magic and humor even though it's very close to Twenty Penny. I'm more of a fan of the bigger magic acts not the nail through the nose acts. A darker magical show should have been used. I would have traded this for Death Drums or just a HHN-stage show any day of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberwrath Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 It looks like they are getting a bit darker. Which is cool. I think they can do a good job, they just need to get some tricks that work on a larger audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDW Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Man they love Circus contraption music.. which is a plus to me. I wish I had been able to see the Circus Contraption show b4 it ended That would have been an amazing show for HHN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunnylvr Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 http://kow626.com/20...-fl-on-7272011/ found this review That was the most distracting "review" I've ever read. That guy was just a creep. I found it hilarious that he brags about being the creeping pervert he showed us to be, and then got all self-righteous at the end about alcohol and weed? Really? This is not a reviewer I'd really rely on too much. I plan on experiencing all HHN has to offer and judge for myself anyway. I mean, I already bought my tickets.. so I don't want to miss a thing. If it sucks, I'll only go one night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
