Las Vegas may be famous for over-the-top productions, but size isn’t everything. Some of the best entertainment gems can be found in more intimate venues.
Legerdemain Cocktails & Curiosities is one of those gems – closeup magic and crafted cocktails in an intimate speakeasy with only 45 audience members.
Your magical journey begins in the 1923 Prohibition Bar in the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian. You know you’re in for an amazing time as a hostess takes you through the hidden door that leads to this enchanting world.
You sip one of the two specialty crafted cocktails (included) to help get you in the mood and enjoy the close-up action and audience interaction. The second libation is served during the show.
Perhaps you will be one of the audience members tapped as part of the mystifying and highly entertaining mind-blowing illusions in this constant motion “crowd” pleaser.
Yes, the venue is intimate. But if you thought that being closer to the action you’d be able to figure out how these tricks are done –wrong. The sleight of hand is noteworthy. Audience members can be heard mumbling, “There’s no way…”
Legerdemain is defined as “sleight of hand.” And is it ever – There’s an entertaining warm-up by Zack Korey with light- hearted conversation and a traditional rope trick, but then the mystifying begins.
Star John Accardo’s engaging personality brings the excellence to a high level with humorous patter and comedy as he moves from one astonishing slight-of-hand maneuver to the next.
The cards or balls move, fly, and relocate.
John’s cell phone trick will have you shaking your head in disbelief. Korey interacts with Accardo proving additional enjoyable comedy throughout the show.
Audience members are asked to pick a card or a favorite movie or announce their birthdays and the answers resurface as an integral part of the illusions. The action is fast paced and amazing.
You will be blow away, amused and thoroughly entertained at Legerdemain. Prices vary for front row or groups. For information: 1923lv.com.Note: Make it a double header and consider staying on to enjoy the fabulous show the Docksiders.
