“This is a really good large scale Vegas type production. Great lighting, timing, props.... And a duck! It was also great to see someone who had fooled Penn and Teller. My teenage daughter was even impressed. Even the pricing is budget friendly. When I saw my family's food and drink bill; translated to US dollars, I was impressed. It's affordable. (Not many places in a tourist area keep their prices within reason.) Great show, good value, I highly recommend!!! I'll go see it again anytime, I'm visiting the falls.”
