This is a 30 minutes show in search of an hour’s worth of content. The show just does not sustain any momentum and does little to really explore the topic it seems to set out to do: Celebrate or highlight Houdini’s Canadian tour.

It is effectively two big illusions that we have all seen before and some window dressing that does not engage the audience.

There is definitely material to mine here, the show needs a little more work. Also, the Jack Benny bit is completely out of place and falls flat.
