Having been to numerous magic shows in the Las Vegas, it is hard to get excited about seeing another one. Well, when we went to Zen Magic at the Planet Hollywood Miracle Mile Shops, at the Saxe Theater, we were treated to a wonderful show.
First thing that was different was that they had magic, acrobats and gymnasts all working together in the show. Second, there is no verbal dialogue between the cast and the audience. All you heard was Japanese music and the occasional chirp of a bird, played by a female gymnast.
Speaking of the female gymnast, she really was a wonderful co-star of the show. She is an incredible gymnast and athlete. She put on displays throughout the show and these were not easy maneuvers. She twirled through a hoop, ribbons/scarfs/long material hanging from a trapeze near the top of the ceiling and on a balance beam. The balance beam act was truly amazing, as she was using a flexible balance beam and she was thrown up in the air by two gentlemen and she went up at least 15 feet in the air. While in the air, she did somersaults, flips and various other things and landing on the beam. She is an incredible talent.
The magic by two young Japanese women, Ai and Yu Ki, was very well done and most of the magic was intertwined with dance. Most of the magic done has also been done around the Strip, but the two young ladies did it with flare and finesse, along with being quiet. Much of the magic told a story, which is also different from most of the shows on the Strip. They did many different kinds of magic, ranging from the magic rings, to disappearing and reappearing acts and they did the magic with modesty but also flawlessly.
They had a male acrobat/gymnast who was also quite good and athletic and he was also part of the magic acts. They also had several male dancers/helpers/actors who added talent to the show.
The costumes were very nice and totally Japanese.
The show is family friendly and for kids of all ages. The cost of the ticket varies, depending on which web site you want to believe.

I highly recommend this show and you can see the show at 4:00 at the Saxe Theater.
