A collection of our favorite reviews from professional news sources.
"The tricks themselves go from classic card sleights to sleek, modern illusions. Bodies levitate, vanish, and reappear just feet from your seat; smartphones become portals; Rubik’s Cubes and puzzles defy logic; and cards sync perfectly (and poetically) with iconic pop songs … Amaze is a theatrical memoir wrapped in magic, certainly a unique experience"

"This show is INCREDIBLE!!!! Jamie is such a beautiful, heart-filled story teller that creates a scene that touches your heart. Beyond that gift, there is more!! The MAGIC is MAGICAL!!!!

Nostalgic
"Went to the matinee and the main character was played by Harry De Cruz. Passionate storyteller, he took me thru a time tunnel of memories. His magic act of the playing cards was mesmerizing. The history of the antique store and what it represented to him were heartfelt.
The theater lends itself to being up close and personal due to it small size, which makes it warm and cozy for this type of show. Would see it again"

The show was heartfelt, filled with fun tricks, and so much skill! It’s really fun for the whole family.
You will not leave disappointed. "
