Beyond Belief!


James Karp is an illusionist. Simone is his "Black Magic Woman", inspiring him to produce theatrical magic which is, in my experience, "beyond belief". In the late nineties, he hired the Shopfront Theatre to rehearse his stage-show (titled Beyond Belief), in which he levitated Simone, cut her in half and, in the grande finale, turned her into a real live black panther! He also pattered lines including, "I can't pull a rabbit out of my hat but I can pull a hair out of my arse." This is James' magic website:
James & Simone

A graduate of the University of Siegfried and Roy in Nevada, James is producer / writer of Las vegas (Confidential) The Musical at Sydney's majestic State Theatre.

This is the official website: Las Vegas the Musical

A few interesting quotes:
Inspired by the intriguing stories, myths and secrets of classic Vegas James began crafting this fascinating and exciting show.

And true to her fate, yet again, Simone was soon working as a Psychic with the legendary Athena Starwoman and writing Astrological and Celebrity predictions for major publications.

Wow, props to you for making those reviews sound good, that's some achievement.

How exactly do you justify so obviously misrepresenting those reviews? The people who wrote them were very clear about how little they liked the show, how about posting the entire reviews?

I assume you're a friend of James or you work for him, why else would you want people to think the opposite of what the reviewers said.
