We probably went to about one show each night while on the cruise. We ALL enjoyed the Haines Magic Show the most, but all of the shows were entertaining.
The hour long show featured most of the standards performed flawlessly and coolly. You may be able to google around and figure out how they are done, but they are still mind blowing, and they take a ton of practice. AND, it is just fun watching a well done magic show.
David Haines did a Q&A on the ship the day after his show too. He showed the audience how to do a couple of rubber band tricks, and the trick where you rip up a napkin, then unfold it, and it is totally back together. When he let us in on the secret, I think we all had a "wow, that was simple and crafty" moment.
He also destroyed a guys 100 bill, then gave it back to him complete. It was actually a pretty cool Q&A. He said that he is still flattered when he gets the "how'd you do that?" question. He said that he works with the same people who do David Copperfield's tricks and they are professional and pricey. He said that he can either buy a new car, or a new trick AND he has to pay out royalties to the trick designer.
There were other shows at the theater that we enjoyed too, including one later in the week that featured David and his assistant with other performers from the ship.
