I saw this show with my best friend not knowing what to expect. We were both greatly impressed and surprised. We thought that in a small venue that we would be able to figure out how the illusions were accomplished but we were left mystified, even though we were sitting in the second row. Not only is Jan a great... More

Jan is very good and entertaining. I watched him very closely and could not figure out how he did his acts. Amazing. I paid $49 for general admission , and it was well worth it.

Since the unfortunate departure of Ziegfried and Roy and retirement of Lance Burton. Las Vegas Have been left with a few tired magic act with performers that are as enthusiastic about being there as the janitors are cleaning up after the show! That is a sad thing considering this is the land of big show , big magic, and the... More

The show was a lot of fun! Jan Rouven was funny and connected with the audience very quickly. It really felt like a cohesive show rather than a random sequence of tricks. There were no animals, just illusions with people and a few smaller effects. Although there were no variety acts or videos during the show, his five dancers/assistants (three... More

We were suppose to go see David Copperfield when we were told not to go and to see Jan Rouven instead. He has good and is still leaving me thinking how the heck he did certain things. It was really good and entertaining and has some dancing to the show is about 1hour and a half. I would suggest getting... More

Jan Rouven's "Illusions" plays nightly, 7pm at Riviera Hotel and Casino. It is no longer at the Clarion. My partner and I were recently on holiday in Vegas and since a child I have wanted to experience a "Vegas Magic Show". There are a few to chose from mind you. However, we decided on "Illusions" due to the fact it... More

This show was pretty good. The illusionist was a likeable, sometimes funny guy from Germany. Most of the illusions I had seen before, however. A lot of time is wasted watching the dancing staff. They ARE pretty talented, but I didn't sign up for a dancing show. The theatre is fairly small and to make matters worse, they pack all... More

He is very personable with a good sense of humor. I didn't feel embarrassed to be there with my daughter and niece; he kept his jokes clean and family oriented. Between acts his assistants did choreographed dances which added to the over-all enjoyment of the experience. Jan stayed following his performance and signed autographs and posed for pictures - he...

I have saw many illusionist's and while his were preformed well, they are old school with some nice dance moves! He did have two that I liked but I would not probably go back like I have to others!

I'm a huge fan of magic and got very disappointed to see Jan perform ripped off illusions from other famous magicians. It's not ethical and shows how much lack of talent this guy really has. Maybe in Germany that is acceptable although I doubt it. Definitely not a Vegas talent!
