MASTER MAGICIAN JAN ROUVEN WOWS VEGAS WITH NEW ILLUSIONS

Las Vegas is famous for hosting some of the greatest illusionists in the world. The spectacle of a sleek magic show goes right along with the glitz and glamour that defines Sin City.

One of the biggest names playing on the Strip is master illusionist Jan Rouven. In “The New Illusions,” the 32-year-old German performs a multitude of daring and incredible illusions, including being impaled on a 21-foot industrial drill, levitating 16 feet in the air and escaping from an underwater tank.

“This is a very physical show,” Rouven said of his 80-minute extravaganza at the Tropicana Las Vegas. “It is very intense, even for me!” Combined with a heart-thumping contemporary soundtrack, cutting-edge choreography and funky costumes, Rouven adds fresh twists to classics or blends them for a double-whammy in every routine.
