We've all seen illusionists and magicians in the past and tried to work out how each one is done. Your eyes search for hidden compartments, mirrors and any possible way you can debunk the 'magic'. But Hans Klok is so FAST!. It truly is 'now you see it, now you don't'!
I was privileged to see the show on Saturday and it certainly has that 'WOW' factor. The audience - a mixture of adults and children - were kept entertained throughout as Hans ran though his incredible array of tricks. One minute he was making an assistant disappear then the next, he'd vanished and taken her place inside a cage or locked box. Then he would pluck items out of thin air and they would vanish just as quickly. Sure some of the stunts we have seen before by other acts, but it was the sheer 'in your face' speed of some of the illusions that was mind boggling.
He also took centre stage between stunts, telling stories of when Houdini himself played London theatres 100 years ago. After all, this is the Houdini Experience and Hans shows a deal of reverance and awe for the grand master of escapology. Performing Houdini's death defying Water escape at one point himself.
The girls were gorgeous, the men were....very 'fit' or so I'm assured and the whole pace of the show was phenominal. My wife's hands are still sore from all the clapping!
The guest acts are impressive too, with a chinese guy doing things on a high wire that defy gravity. A fantastic Cuban duo performing a pole routine that will astound in sheer strength and athleticism. And more, much more packed into the two and a half hour show which is perfect or all members of the family
- sceptics included!
