Tape Face Las Vegas Show Review

The wildly popular Tape Face Las Vegas Show playing at Harrah's is one of the more unique and entertaining shows to hit the Strip in decades. Here is my review.

Created by New Zealander Sam Wills in 2008, the show is an extraordinary performance that is highly recommended for guests that want to be included in the show. That's right- included in the show. One of the more interesting aspects of the show is audience participation which is huge and a crowd pleaser-whether you are a chosen one or not.

During the performance Sam Wills is masterful in making people laugh by combining simple magic tricks and illusions with superb choreography of music as well as multimedia effects.

Although the actor never says a word, the audience knows that he is up to something devious but a fun devious. As Sam Wills prowls the stage juggling, performing sleight of hand tricks and sometimes dancing, the audience is enthralled with his effortless movements as a mime. He is accompanied by his assistant Phyllis who is in charge of many things from picking guests from the audience to preparing the next prop to being eye candy on stage.
