We were hesitant because the only seating left was in the back row when we purchased the tickets but still bought them hoping for the best and were very happy about it because we could stand if we felt we were missing something on stage due to someones head in the way but honestly it was only to look at the floor stage otherwise you can stiil have a great view from the back row ! Cattle ranch is a little tricky because the street its on is not very lit, in a neighborhood and there is a small sign in the drivway that says circus of illusion that canbe easily missed. Its a very small and intimate venue but it definitely works. They even offered complimentary water and cookies ... Great night for the family !!

Please sit before reading this review. It contains accounts of witchcraft and occult behavior, and…read moreI will not be held accountable for any injury obtained while reading this review. Had I not witnessed the Davis Circus of Illusion with my own eyes, I would not be able to tell you about it. The Davis Circus of Illusion is a group of three people, headed by 'magician' Craig Davis. I put 'magician' in quotes because of course I am a grown, educated man, and do not believe in magic. I do, of course, believe in witchcraft, which is more how I would describe the events of the evening, as Davis and his associates perform unnatural feats. He is accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Davis, and a bellydancer who goes by the name Myryka. Davis Circus of Illusion is in a great location - right up in the general Scottsdale vicinity. So go eat dinner someplace close, and then come here. If you are a member of a family, bring your entire family. If you are courting a young lady, you may also bring her here. If you are alone, you will be allowed admittance, but probably looked upon with curiosity. Dress is casual, but classy. Imagine what you should be wearing while witnessing OCCULT BEHAVIOR. The event takes place at a joint called Cattle Track, which has a building that serves as kind of a gallery/stage. I do not know if there are any cattle there so please stop asking. Before the show, Davis was talking with some of the early arrivals, his presence tempting them to inquire about the dark arts. I did not listen in on their conversation but I can only imagine he was describing to them the cursed acts he had to commit to obtain his power. As show time drew near, he demonstrated his abilities by reading a man's mind. Upon seeing this I quickly focused my thoughts, locking away the secrets within my mind that Davis might have otherwise been able to gain access to. I suggest you take this precaution ahead of time. The show began with Mrs. Davis singing a few songs. She's got a pretty good set of pipes on her, but I was there for the occult! Davis retook the stage, and almost immediately summoned his bellydancer from some astral plane, and then a bird, which proceeded to stare me down for half the show with his beady black eyes. The obvious conclusion is that the bird was a mind reader as well. After having summoned his minions, Davis now conjured up dark magics for a freakin' hour and a half. Breaking things, making them whole again, reading more people's minds, putting a lady in a box and then trying to crush her with drawers - all kinds of madness. He had his assistant get in a box, and then he collapsed the box and the woman was STILL ALIVE INSIDE even though there was only room for like, her arms and head. Everything else was just smashed. Then, what does he do? Freakin' heals her somehow and makes a new body for her and she's still alive. My wife was all, "It's just larger than it looks - she probably has extra room in there" but I know what I saw. Hah! "Mirrors." People always use mirrors to explain witchcraft, when the truth is far more deadly. Not only is Davis a practitioner of witchcraft, but he also juggles, which I find to be an odd combination. He is apparently one of only a few people in the world who can juggle 7 things at once. Like, actually have all 7 of the things in the air at the same time. I saw him do it, and if you told me that no other human being on earth could juggle 7 things at once, I'd believe you. It was pretty nuts. Anyway, the show was like, 2 hours, and thank god he didn't try to use any of his witchcraft on me, and that bird stayed away from me or I would have gone nuts. Should you go see the Davis Circus of Illusion? Only if you are stout of mind and heart, and are not fearful of mind-bending illusions and inexplicable acts of otherworldly magic. If you're ok with that, then yeah you should probably go.

(Thanks to Caleb and family for including us in all of the fun!) Craig was incredible and had everyone at the party, kids and adults, in awe of his magic and juggling... From card tricks to juggling fire, sticking a sword threw the birthday boy's grandma, working with a live bird, pulling all kinds of things out of an empty paper bag, figuring out the host's password to his iphone (and even throwing in some cyber security education), Craig had the crowd engaged throughout his entire act. It was a beautiful day and backyard venue as well. I will definitely recommend / seek out Craig for future entertainment options whether in-home, business, or at his own performances at Cattle Track, which can be found on his website.

By delving into the realms of telepathy, mind reading, and intuitive understanding, Anthony, who has been featured on ABC, Fox and NBC, challenges conventional perceptions and invites audiences to question the boundaries of reality.

Anthony's stage presence is magnetic, drawing us into a world of wonder and intrigue. His skillful blend of mentalism, psychology, and showmanship created an immersive experience that left a lasting impression. "Mysteries of the Mind" is a must-see for anyone intrigued by the complexities of human behavior and the potential of the mind.

From our initial communication, Kevin was responsive, accommodating to our needs, and willing to go above and beyond. And that's just scheduling! The performance was great. He was very professional with the kids (ages 6-10), talking to them at their level and involving them in the show as much as possible. One of the kiddos even yelled out "this is amazing!" which put a smile on the parents' faces. Kevin even had one trick about kids believing in themselves, which was really nice to see. I wouldn't hesitate to book Kevin for a child's performance, and from what I could see about the quality of his work, I'm pretty sure he can impress "older kids" as well.

His reviews, videos and credibility was exactly what I was looking for. We spoke on the phone and I addressed many questions I've had -- he was very accommodating and patient. He showed up right on time and remained very professional throughout the night. I have been doing my "ultimate Halloween Party" every year and I have hired many entertainers but Brett was by FAR the best money ever spent on my event. He simply blew away my mind and all my guests. The entertainment he did was OUTSTANDING. Brett creates fun memories that last a lifetime! He even made his "tricks" Halloween themed (which was a super bonus)! It was unlike anything I've ever seen. I don't know how he does it and to be honest we talk about it all the time on how he "could pull it off." He is VERY TALENTED!!! Look no where else -- I'm serious -- just stop looking -- you will not find anyone better than Brett. He will NOT disappoint you in the slightest. My next event(s) will always include Brett Barry, to the point where I will schedule it around his availability.
