The most-followed magician on the Las Vegas Strip, with more than five billion views online, 10 million followers and numerous appearances on TV shows such as America's Got Talent, Masters of Illusion and Penn and Teller Fool Us, Mortimer is still the first ever Cirque Du Soleil featured performer to have his own headlining show on the Strip, taking the Las Vegas magic scene by storm.
Mortimer’s celebration began with a VIP reception inside the 108 Observation Deck at The STRAT, showcasing spectacular views as well as cocktails, small bites and guests including “The Dream Maker” producer/director Alex Goude, female impersonator Frank Marino, SPI Entertainment’s Alex Schecter, Allie Sparks and fellow magician, David Goldrake, among others.
Entering his fifth year headlining in Las Vegas, Xavier’s “The Dream Maker,” produced and directed by one of France’s most acclaimed theater directors and television hosts, Alex Goude, delivers a dynamic and visual, family-friendly production that can be enjoyed by audiences from around the world. Mortimer has added his own touch to magic by creating a show with creative and original illusions, comedy and a poetic storyline.
During the pandemic, Mortimer took to social media with his illusions while his live show was temporarily shut down so that he could continue to bring his magic to fans around the world.
