CHICAGO—“Amaze” is the perfect title for this amazing show! That’s because its star, Jamie Allan, goes beyond yesteryear’s trickery into a new modern-realm of wizardry.  Indeed, this is not your typical sleight-of-hand show. Sure, Mr. Allan does card tricks and rips up newspapers that stay magically intact, but what singles him out from previous magicians is his engaging way of intersecting mind-boggling tricks with fascinating 21st-century technology. But there’s still more that makes Mr. Allan—who claims to be a magician, not an illusionist—stand out from the rest of the pack.
