REZA - Edge of Illusion

He’s not just a magician. He’s not just an illusionist. He’s REZA, whose ground-breaking acts and signature brand of interactive comedy have won him fans worldwide. More than 150 million people have seen his performances on network television, streaming platforms, social media and in concert. The Denver Post called him “The world’s top touring illusionist,” and Sports Illustrated simply said, “He’s mind-blowing.”

REZA’s latest show is Edge of Illusion, and it takes the audience to places that seem impossible. He will take your breath away and inspire you with jaw-dropping, cutting-edge, and never-before-seen illusions, combined with extraordinary lighting and video production.

The young illusionist became fascinated with magic at age 6, when he saw a show at his elementary school in South Dakota. He asked for a magic kit for his next birthday and a career was born. By 15, he was performing at Branson, with a six-week residency and 18 shows a week. In 2016, he was voted Branson’s Magician of the Year. Penn & Teller, who know a little something about illusions, have called him “Amazing.”

In an interview with his hometown paper, REZA talked about his signature routine. He has performed it for over a decade, and while the show itself is always evolving and changing, this is a constant. “Before every show, I make a prediction about what members of the audience will be thinking that night in particular, and it’s never been the same,” he said. “It gives the crowds a unique opportunity to be part of the show.”

Keeping it fresh and sleek while filling the show with humor and charm has become a hallmark of a REZA performance. He’s thrilled that younger magicians come up to him and say they were inspired by his work. It’s important to him that the show remains family-friendly and that families can enjoy the “oohs” and “aahs” together.

The Denver Post summed up the phenomenon that is REZA. “In addition to grand scale illusion and spectacular production elements, REZA infuses masterful comedic timing, and numerous interactive and inspirational moments, allowing the audience to experience the magic first-hand. REZA isn’t just a magician. He’s a world-class entertainer.”

You have one night to see REZA. Don’t blink; he’ll be gone. Or was it all just an illusion?
