I have been wanting to go for years, and finally got tickets for valentine's day with the hubby. We got there late and sat in the back, but saw everything just fine. The show was paced really well, and you could see how much dedication and enthusiasm Sarlot and Eyde have for their craft. It was a ton of fun.... More

We went to the show with our teenage boys and we all had the best time ever. We sat in the last row which were great seats since they were elevated stools above everyone heads in front of us. Roland and Susan are consumate professionals and really know their craft. No, there are not any white tigers or disappering elephants... More

While visiting southern Arizona we wanted to check out some live theatre and what a treat. Tucson venue was small which added to the intrigue. Engaging and amazing. Class act.

This is a great show and how I always imagined magic used to be... The tricks are super cool but more than that you get an amazing, creative and theatrical production. Roland and Susan are great performers and make a entertaining dynamic duo.

My husband and i were pleasantly surprised at the caliber of the Carnival of Illusion show. We were highly entertained and wowed. The venue is small and quaint, which makes it that much more intimate. The audience is involved in the show at different points, but no one is made to feel uncomfortable. I recommend this show to anyone visiting... More

Knowing that I enjoyed magic, my wife bought tickets to Carnival of Illusion for my birthday and we invited along another couple we're friends with. From start to finish the show was very entertaining and fast-paced with plenty of audience participation mixed in. Both Roland and Susan provide delightful wit and humor throughout the show and kept the audience engaged... More

@pounette166 was obviously not at the same show I was at. I have had the pleasure of attending the carnival of illusion on 5 occasions, and each time i found it most entertaining. Roland and Susan take their up close parlor magic,personalities,and creativity to fun and exciting places. I chose to bring my wife and two daughters in celebration of... More

I am NOT in the habit of writing poor reviews, but on this one I can't help myself. I was extremely disappointed with this show. This is nothing close to a professional act, at best an amateur act. the Show lasts 80 minutes, with a short break at mid-point. The performers are engaging but the act feels very tired. It... More
