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