CHICAGO'S SOLD OUT FIVE STAR HIT

With each rendition put together with extremely palpable passion and extraordinary showmanship, the grandest shock comes, once again, through the relative modesty of every moment. You’re not in for any monumental, pyrotechnic-studded tricks requiring an army of assistants. Instead, just some tiny tweaks on the most classic illusions are all that’s necessary to concoct this exceedingly rich jaunt. And when some simple calculations on your phone can literally make your jaw drop, you realize nothing else is missing not only for it to function, but ultimately soar.

The story that runs through Amaze is about Jamie’s childhood, his discovery and love of magic, and his parents – they’re a big part of the show, and it’s clear they were a huge influence on the magician. There’s something lovely about emotions that come through during the tricks, and the stories behind how each one came about, making the show much more than just some magic taking place on stage.

Jamie Allan is absolutely captivating on stage. This is an experience that I will not forget for a long time. Everything used is part of the story and has relevance as to why it is happening. Personal highlights... seeing Jamie perform his digital art, the glass penetration effects and manipulation of playing cards. WOW! This is when you get to see this master at work presenting and performing magic in a way that is unique to Jamie.

This alone making the trip to see the show worth it.

“From the emotional family storyline to the audience involvement...  you knew just how impossible it really was. The way the show was put together was just as impressive as the wizardry itself... the best magic show around. Catch it now before it deservedly blows up into the arenas.

"Mr. Allan has made 'AMAZE' a compelling biographical journey in which he isn’t so much performing on stage as he is having a friendly chat with friends. The charmer talks to theatergoers as if they were in his living room and they are all laughing and enjoying each other’s company. Indeed, this is a very interactive experience

Mr. Allan is an original who seeks to inspire."

Epoch Times Chicago
“This is audience-centered, narrative-based magic… Now doing deeper work, anticipating the needs of his audience as very few in his profession can do, and exploring how a magic show can cover up the losses present in all of our lives. But he still has all of the old polish and technique (his explosive finale is just fabulous).”
