Allstars of Magic at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas

I saw the show on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, and here are my thoughts. Overall, I thought the show was very good, and I highly recommend it. Russ Merlin, the MC, was good, but not great. I've seen his comedy act with volunteers from the audience wearing masks, and that act is great. I was disappointed that he didn't do that act during the show. His floating person with a volunteer from the audience was just okay. The two women who started the show with costume changes were excellent - what a great way to start off a show with a constant bombardment of flash and color. Mon Dre was very good, too. He performed slight of hand with doves, silk scarves, and giant balls. I really like this type of magic with obvious skill. I think Lorenzo Clark was next. He is a comedy magician and may have been my favorite performer. He had a boy from the audience help him and really treated the boy nicely...but he was very funny! His vacuum cleaner act was hilarious and really made me laugh. So clever! Emily England (I think I have her name right) came back. She was part of the opening act and now was doing a 2nd act of producing cards while wearing a negligee. This act was okay but seemed a little choppy. I think she told us that this was her first time doing the act. She also cut her assistant in half, and that was a good illusion. The last act was Jason Byrne, and he was quite spectacular. He started off with slight of hand, and ending by doing a grand illusion-type effect. Really GREAT! The audience was small but really appreciated the show. I went to other shows this week, and the audiences were small at all of them, so maybe Vegas is not real popular right now.
