We were part of the audience on July 5th.
The experience starts with ordering a drink and enjoying the courtyard of a 5* hotel.
We were then escorted to our seats, and Celine gave us (family of 4, 2 kids) front row seats.
The show is AMAZING. It is an experience, out of today's world and back 150/200years ago.
Laurent was absolutely fantastic throughout. between what he does, and how he narrates the evening (and was switching French/ English for us and others in the audience).
Several members in the audience were invited to participate in various acts.
Frankly, you will wish that the show would last longer.
At the end, we were surprised : apparently, there were descendants of R Houdin in the audience and Laurent and his staff were all emotional at the honor.
Champagne was served at the end and Laurent, Celine ,.. worked the crowd.
This is not a cheap show, but it is well worth it as what you will experience is very far from being cheap. Quite the opposite actually. You will feel like a gentleman and his lady, attending a special evening in a different era. Laurent well deserves the accolades he has received , and we hope he can expand and share his passion more.
