Xavier Mortimer’s Magical Dream
By: Dianne Davis / That’s Entertainment
Mortimer’s Magical Dream will keep
you wide awake as you think, “How
does he do that?” The show, which opened last
month in Bally’s 250 seat Windows Showroom is
a delight for all ages. It’s 6 pm time slot means early risers and children
can enjoy the sense of wonder and delight that this multi-talented
Frenchman brings to the stage.
Xavier Mortimer is more than a magician. He brings unique
illusions that you most likely have not seen previously. He is an artist
who combines illusions, music, comedy and a bit of drama.
The thin plot line of a man who pursues a woman works well, as
talented performer Allie Sparks, aka Belle, his dream girl and love
interest, crosses paths with him throughout the show.
If you have seen Mortimer’s previous show (Planet Hollywood) go
see him again. He has brought many new segments of magic, music
and fun to the new production. Along with some traditional tricks.
This young man honed his skills as part of Cirque du Soleil’s Michael
Jackson One. He brings a myriad of talents to the showroom.
I was not surprised to discover that the magician studied ballet as I so
appreciated the way he moves gracefully about the stage as he astounds
us with his sleight of hand. And he brings his musical talents as well on
various instruments.
There are no lions or tigers or bears, but I love the hand in the suitcase
that has a life of its own - actually two hands. You’ll understand when
you see the show.
Mortimer has brought along the white screen from his previous
production. He appears at various times on both sides, as does Belle, as
they slide gracefully from reality to dreams and back.
His levitation and jump rope routine renders me speechless. It’s gotta
be magic.
The 70 minute show flies by in this well-paced presentation. Some
audience participation adds to the fun. And don’t rush off. He’ll be there
to take photos and chat as well.
