Amaze Reviews
Chicago Tribune - Highly Recommended
"...Jamie Allan could teach a master class in magic performance as emotional engagement. His superb show, “Amaze,” features world-class illusions performed by a guy who has been perfecting them for his whole professional life, and everything he does on stage is rooted in personal storytelling, focused on his love for his parents and the richness of his childhood memories."

"...December is the magical season, and Rhapsody Theatre continues the allure of the holidays with the magic of Jamie Allan, "Amaze." Allan, a magician from the United Kingdom, learned the enchantment of magic early and is known for his special effects and stage illusions; he performed his first magic show at just eight years old at Cabaret Club in Market Bosworth. He has designed special effects and stage illusions."

"...This magic show is like nothing you’ve ever seen while being very familiar. It is aptly named “Amaze”, but you will be so much more than amazed. “Amaze” is the brainchild of magician Jamie Allan. With a name like Jamie Allan, you just know he’s English, born in 1977 in the United Kingdom. The performance showcased the talents of a modern magician who skillfully married the charm of classic magic with the wonders of the digital age. During the show we learn Jamie’s childhood hero is the late Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple. This is not your standard magic show."

"...I have always felt strongly that magicians are best appreciated in live performances. Television and films’ ubiquitous use of CGI (computer-generated imagery) and visual effects affect the credibility of a magician’s performance. You are not apt to be amazed by magic unless you can see it up close and in person. However, Jamie Allan’s live performance in AMAZE may have me revising my thoughts on this prior prejudice as his innovative use of technology increases your appreciation of his magic."
