If David Copperfield and Liam Neeson melded...
"Copperfield + Neeson = Jamie Allan!
Jamie Allan has a presence on stage that's both powerful and endearing. And though Liam Neeson is Irish and Jamie is British, I liken the two of them for their presence and charm. There's a smooth, sincere, yet powerful energy that each emit. Jamie is powerfully-yet playfully-present.
David Copperfield is known for his big illusions and elaborate stories tying them together.
Jamie does this well, really well. From the opening line to the very close, we are invited into Jamie's childhood as a new magician on the journey to his present "big production on a small stage" event.
AMAZE does what its name promises. Not once or twice, but over and over again. As a no-longer-performing magician, yet still-current member of the Magic Castle in Hollywood, I love to see how other magicians use their powers for good.
And Jamie Allen is good. Really good.
During the show, you'll get everything from old-school to high tech. He's masterful with cards. And a few great illusions on a grand scale make it all the more interesting on a small stage.
A few cautions - I sat toward the front on the right. The stage is set in such a way that I missed some of the things happening stage-left (audience right). There's a painting revealed and some things on a bookshelf that can't be seen from where I sat.
Sit center if you can.
While some kids attended, I think a lot of the story - therefore intrigue - is lost on them.
This isn't about tricks, it's an experience that you get to allow yourself to open to.
Let Jamie Allen take you on his journey. You'll see trick after trick, sure. If you give yourself to his story the way you might enjoy any other play, you'll get the full effect of his goal - to AMAZE.
Bottom line - YES! I recommend Jamie Allen's AMAZE. "

Was like a story (with magic) being told in my living room.
"The Jamie Allan AMAZE show was just that - Amazing. We sat front row and there was still no possible way he could have done the things we saw, from levitation, to disappearance, to card tricks, slight of hand, incredible numerical coincidences and a final trick that will REALLY have you scratching your head, this performance has it all. Best of all is the way Jamie threads all of these illusions into a truly wonderful story about his life growing up. I would very highly suggest seeing this presentation - it will not be a waste of time or money."

Completely lived up to the "AMAZE" title!
"I admittedly was a bit skeptical, but having read other positive reviews, I went with a couple of front row tickets. To say I was astounded is an understatement! From the 80s theme when you walk in to the story Jamie shares of how magic found him, to the amazing MAGIC itself (for it surely must be more than mere illusion!), I was left in awe. Would highly recommend (and already have to friends and co-workers). I'll note that I was a bit surprised by the number of children in the audience, but they were loving it, too, and Jamie went out of his way to make them feel included in the show. Such a fabulous fun time!"

"The magic was fantastic and Jamie was very personable.
Liked the stories about how he got into magic and the antique store finds—- but I think he didn’t need to go into such detail—-less description would still be interesting

Boys are hard to entertain
"I have four grandsons and always look for something they will enjoy in NYC. They tend to groan at any suggestion involving museums. The magic show "hit it out of the ballpark" for them, and the fact that there is a storyline made it particularly enjoyable for me.

Amazing AMAZE
"Harry De Cruz was the magician who performed in the show that my family and I saw. He was the understudy magician for Jamie Allan. We all thought he was fantastic. Harry was very personable, great with the kids, and a fantastic story teller. However, I'm not sure if what was being told was just for the show, or if it was really his life growing up. In any case, I thought Harry was great and the show was extremely entertaining. A great show for both adult and kids. We truly enjoyed it. The theatre was extremely small, which was a positive thing, because there were no bad seats.
I would definitely recommend the show."

"Jaime is able to weave a show dedicated to his parents around his love for magic. If you are looking for a magic show filled with trick after trick, this is not it. What you do get is music, storytelling and magic summed up in a story of childhood awe to adulthood dream making. The magic is smooth and engaging. Highly recommend!"

A fascinating evening
"The show is more than a magic show; it is about our hopes and dreams as children. It is suitable for all ages. Some of the magic is surprising. One at the end, that invites the entire audience to participate is astounding. I do hope people who write any reviews will heed the request not to tell anyone about specific tricks. It will really ruin it for you if you go knowing what will happen. "
