"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"
