Prepare to be Amazed at Illusions of Magic in Myrtle Beach

Prepare to be amazed when you see Illusions of Magic in Myrtle Beach.  The show, which is performed at the Palace Theatre, is hosted by skilled magician Dale Scott.  He has spent years honing his craft and now he wows crowds nightly with his astonishing illusions.

The fast-paced, entertaining two hour show is loaded with action, special effects and performances by amazing dancers.  Starting with human cyber-bots, floating orbs and light sabers, the show immediately astounds as Dale makes his stunning assistant Ana levitate, disappear and reappear to the glee of audience members. During one number two girls reappear in place of one, which definitely had the audience asking “How’d he do that?”  Dance numbers set to backlight backdrops and even a “Gangnam Style” dance number added to the fun on stage. 

A nostalgic look back at classic magicians Cardini and Houdini were some of the standout segments of Illusions of Magic Myrtle Beach.  Sleight of hand tricks and a metamorphosis illusion paid homage to the history of magic and magnified how, even with technological advances, some of the simplest illusions are still the best.  A jungle themed routine featuring a beautiful Bengal tiger was dramatic and engaging but you need to see the show to believe the magic performed.  Audience participation is a large part of the show, too.  One of the best audience participation moments occurred during Chop-O-Matic, where an audience member may or may not have lost his head (side note: he lived.) 

The segment showcasing the mysteries of the Orient featuring kabuki dance and thrilling sword tricks was intriguing, and added a nice cultural flavor to the Illusions of Magic show.  The show-stopping, end of the night illusion is too stunning to reveal much about but a motorcycle and NASCAR car are involved and you won’t believe what happens to them as Dale works his magic! 

A night at Illusions of Magic is family-fun.  Be ready to participate in the show, and make your cheers known.  During my visit, the louder the crowd the more stunning the illusions became. Plus, you can have your picture taken with Dasha, the Bengal tiger, for a wonderful memento of your evening.
