Hollywood magic is about to hit the Strip. After successful runs in Sydney, Perth and Singapore, the illusionist spectacle Now You See Me Live will debut in the U.S. at the MGM Grand Theater on October 15, running through January 5.
Based on Lionsgate's hit heist films starring Jesse Eisenberg and Dave Franco, and from the creators of The Illusionists, Now You See Me Live summons the “Four Horsemen” for an evening of spell-binding stage magic. The core four includes Italian escape artist champion Andrew Basso; Gabriella Lester, the youngest of the Horsemen who successfully escaped Houdini's famous upside down straightjacket at 14; Adam Trent, a master of sleight of hand; and reality breaking illusionist Enzo Weyne. Additionally, other special guests will be rotated into the cast.
“The incredible illusionists we've carefullv selected as the Four Horsemen will push the boundaries of stage magic to the absolute edge,” creative producer Simon Painter said in a statement. “They come from around the globe, combining their grand feats of illusion to create a show with truly mind-blowing artistry.”
