Look Closer Reviews
Around The Town Chicago- Highly Recommended
"...Chicago is a “magic city”! We are the home of the up-close and personal magic”, and for years, we have been the home for Dennis Watkins and his amazing one-man show. We are the home of two magic theaters and tonight, Jane and I went to Rhapsody to see the “Look Closer” show starring Joshua Jay, who is astounding!. I will start the review by telling you that Jane said “enough already! We have been going out every night!” And then to top it off, she said” not another magician?”. After the 90 minute show, she said “He is the best I have ever seen!”."

"...If you're a magic enthusiast, Joshua Jay's captivating new show, Look Closer, is currently enchanting audiences at the Rhapsody Theater. But even if you're not a seasoned magic fan, this show promises to leave you spellbound. Joshua Jay, the Society of Magicians' 2020 Magician of the Year, has recently concluded a successful New York City run that commenced at the illustrious Carnegie Hall."
Third Coast Review- Highly Recommended
"...Like Duvivier, Jay has a charismatic personality but he connected with the audience differently. It could have been his Midwestern roots or sense of confidence, but I liked his style. He entered through the audience, which was a surprise because everyone was focused on the stage. That is where he began connecting to audience members and making us laugh. He started with a collection of t-shirts that started with Doug Henning down the line to David Copperfield. These were magicians who revived magic and illusion in American pop culture."
