I saw Lindsay at the World Magic Seminar this year – 2010 – and was absolutely transported. I had no idea what to expect; how could I. I’d paid the extra $$ for Max Maven’s benefit event. Then she came out and did her act. Lindsay’s act alone made the trip to Vegas totally worth it. Without doubt she was the highlight of the convention. This act was real magic, and the locale and centuries melted away, so timeless and excellent is she. Lindsay had total control of a MASSIVE room of semi-drunken, grown-up children & world-class performers. I could feel everybody with half a brain or heart simultaneously fall madly in love with this performing genius. The combination of purity and sauciness was superbly balanced. I have never felt so jealous to see another feller get called on stage as a volunteer! Well, sorta. Her act takes one through a gamut of human emotions. I felt my mouth agape with a delicious feeling of familiarity. Here was an old nether-world carny friend i never knew I had, combining poetry, grace, silent burlesque and graceful circus skills to perfection. I so wanted to thank her for the grand show and the happy feelings generated thereby, and hope this note serves that purpose. Her visual wit never insults us, but always heightens our experience. She is a TRUE natural, born talent. The real deal. Comedic and emotional genius. I can’t wait to find/create the right role in the right movie for this superstar waiting to happen, so I can cast her in it, direct it – and share her contagiously joyful talent with the rest of the world!

I saw you perform at the castle on Sunday. Your performance was beautiful. I was mesmerized by your talent and entranced by your use of story and comedy. The silent stars of yesteryear would of been impressed. Your comic timing and telling facial reactions are priceless. The inter-titles or Chapter cards were an exquisite touch. As for your modern audience, due to public chatter of your name throughout the castle, you were the highlight of all that days performers. Your performance emulated the essence of watching someone make water drops dance in their hands. During the lite section of your act, it was as if you were conducting an orchestra of water through a vibrantly iluminated spouting fountain. I’ve never seen anyone take this medium to such a level to where it should be labeled as visual art. This all wrapped with your stunning stage presence and beauty was enough for me to search you out and express my sheer delight of the chance to see you perform. I was more than impressed; I was captivtied.

Last night at the Magic Castle, I was captivated by Lindsay’s performance. Again. This time, she selected a man from the audience who was not a good choice, and gracefully tossed him back and tried again.

Her charm and grace — and skill — captivated the audience who only realized that mime and juggling aren’t technically “magic” after she had left the stage to a thunderous ovation.

I look forward to seeing her again on her next trip to the southland.

One of the most delightful performances I have ever seen at the Castle. Last time she was there, I watched her show three times and loved it more each time. Everytime I hear the music from “Amelie” I can’t help but to think of Lindsay’s show.

If you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a big favor and catch her when she is at the Castle this week. I know I will be clearing room on my busy schedule this week to be there.
