iMagician at Harris Theater

Chicago Tribune - Recommended

"...I liked most of his numbers, performed with just two busy assistants (he said from the stage on Sunday that one member of his cast was out sick and so everyone was doubling up). Allan is deft and highly competent with a deck of cards, has designed most of his own props, allowing for classic illusions with new techno-twists."

"...This 85-minute show with no intermission which seems to be close of an hour was entertaining to the young audience that is inexperienced, however, the magic in this performance was like looking at a simple, "How To Perform Magic," show for beginners. Allan is very engaging and charms his audience with his passion, however, he communicates with the audience a little too much, like a comedian that runs out of jokes. Less talking and a few more breath-taking magic and illusions would really raise the excitement and word of mouth promotion of this show."

"...Magic is magic. At least that is what I have heard over the years. BUT, what if it is not just the everyday magic that we have been watching for eons. Jamie Allen is that special magician, that different type of magician. Jamie's talent is different ,unlike other magicians you may have seen. He is funny and incorporates technology in a way (like he says) that "allows one to watch and wonder." He performs new tricks he created but he also does some classics. He speaks to the audience in a way that has everyone engaged. You want to know how his mind works so you might just figure out his tricks. With today's technology, Jamie is able to do tricks that will show you magic in a different light!"

"...iMAGICIAN is a good pick for anyone who is looking for an event out with the family during the holiday break after Christmas. Though you might be skeptical, Allan has moments that will definitely have you turning to your friends and asking "How did he do that!""
