STEVE DARCI

BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

HERE IS WINNER !

This at the Las Vegas Hilton Shimer Showroom...the Hilton making great strides in improving their promotion, availabilty and accessability.

Darci no kid...carries a big history with tapes of his appearances on Merv Griffin, Joey Bishop, Alan Funt and others of his 1970's magic.

I would recommend this to the world...only negatives 7 minutes late and some of the segments were overextended.

I am never an advocate of audience participation but on this night Darci got three hall of famers to help him play along.

The King of Close up is the billing and he lived up to this...sorry I have not seen him before but will again....he has a 52 week contract at the Hilton for Sundays and Mondays at 7.

There was some decent production in this non prop presentation with overhead cameras and lots pre show preparation...lots of talent and how did he do that ?

Nice stage presence...a tad slow...some comedy and some extremely clever illusions leaving audience exiting...HOW DID HE DO THAT ?

There is the bottom line of magic...83 minutes...you cannot do justice to magic by writing about it...here is another discovered treasure of this great city we live in.
