00:00For the first time in history, seven of the greatest illusionists in the world, in the

00:19most spectacular magic show of all time.

00:27Are you ready to witness the impossible, the illusionists?

00:53Magic is a universal language, appropriate for all audiences, it's very visually based,

00:57but I think what I like about the illusionists is it's smart magic, it's a sophisticated

01:02show, it's appropriate for the whole family, but it's not a kid's show.

01:05It really is a really contemporary look at where magic is and where it's going.

01:10I think almost each person has a point in the show where the audience will be invited

01:15to partake in an illusion or two, so that's kind of fun for the audience, and that kind

01:19of keeps it fresh and interesting each time too, because they're not always the same people,

01:23they're random people, so depending on what they bring to the particular performance could

01:29be very surprising.

01:30We're competitive, but it's incredibly supportive of each other as well, I crave them telling

01:37me Philip, just maybe change that slightly, you've got this master class going on around

01:42you, all these incredible magic brains who can come after a show and say think about

01:47doing that, try doing that, and that's incredibly valuable to me, so I love that.

01:51In the show I perform an upside down water tortoise shell, so every show I have to stay

01:57underwater, chained to the bottom of a water tank, closed with real padlocks, so there

02:03is a real danger involved every time.

02:05It's part of my act, and people I think like this because danger is fascinating, and people

02:15I think they feel to be in the water tank with me sometimes, and they see the woman

02:21screaming in the audience.

02:23We are our own toughest critics for sure, and the audiences have all been pretty generous,

02:29like standing ovations every day, so we hope Dubai is the same way.

02:32It'll be really exciting, and it's a great show, it's a big show, it's a show for people

02:37who like magic shows, and a show for people who don't like magic shows.

02:41And we're going to be doing a little magic, fun, comedy, illusions, things that amaze

02:50me.

02:51I love being in the show, and you're going to have a wonderful time, and I encourage

02:54you all to go out, and please, Dubai tickets.
