It presents itself as a “grandiose”, “breathtaking” show, “the most spectacular magic show on Broadway”.
“The Illusionists” performed for 14 performances at the Folies Bergère in Paris.
On the poster, you have to know a lot about magic to detect that five of the six artists are French.
The only one known to the general public is Gus.
He is preparing a new show, “Givré”, for the month of September.

In “The Illusionists”, Gus also plays the master of ceremonies, introducing his colleagues and translating the script of the sixth thief, the American Kevin James.
We attended the second performance, here's what we think.
