"exceptional lighting"
Alison Grieve, Edinburgh Festivals Magazine

"this is a visually and aurally stunning experience...the whole spectacle is immaculately lit with some of the best technical work to be seen on the fringe"
Edinburgh Spotlight

"Smoke and Mirrors gives Edwardian music hall a modern  makeover with it's 21st-century production values"
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

"Rarely can the pace of such a cabaret balance physical spectacle with romantic ballads, strobe lights, magic tricks, comedy and deliver a show which reveals as much as it conceals - and the sleight of Ilott's hand is impressive. Though some may be happy to be dazzled by the surface of this show of mirrors and smoke - for those who look deeper, the heart of the show reflects of the fires of lust/sex/love"
