Audience Member At the time, this film was really spectacular to me. I had the privilege to see it in 3D and on the IMAX. Siegfried and Roy are two of the most mysterious magicians around, and the film tries to tell the life stories of both, from their boyhood tricks, to their cruse ship shows, all the way to their Las Vegas spectacle. This all takes place before Roy's unfortunate tiger attack, so it can seem outdated. The world is full of miracles and these two are miracles for bringing a sense of magic to the world. Nothing can describe this movie except as a master of the impossible. I would recommend this for magic fans everywhere. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
