    A must see in Vegas!
    I don't know how he does it but he's amazing! He doesn't use assistants in his show. How he's able to pull off his tricks are baffling. He told me to pick a word from a book but don't tell him the word. He guessed it accurately and in the coolest way possible. He's incredible. 10/10 recommend his show!

    Stunned!!
    My girls and I took a trip to Vegas to visit family. We planned to take in a handful of family friendly shows like Blueman Group, Jabbawockeez and Cirque "O". And we loved them all! On the final day, we wanted to take in a magic show and spontaneously grabbed seats to see Frederic. My gosh!! WE LOVED IT! From start to finish the show was mind blowing. Truly. And after the show he even stuck around to say hi to the audience and show them a personal trick. Which blew our minds even further! I have never seen or experienced anything like it. And as soon as the curtain fell, I was ready to go back in and see it a second time. MUST SEE! Sidenote: Frederic himself is a truly charming entertainer. You can tell he has a genuine passion for his craft and sharing it with the audience he loves. Totally family friendly. And incredible. We will be back.

    Phenomenal performance
    I’m extremely difficult to impress but went to the show for my husband since he likes magic shows. I was absolutely floored, impressed is an understatement we were thoroughly entertained. Presentation and entertainment was extraordinary. Thank you can’t wait to see your show again!

    Amazing. Highly Recommend It!
    I was a skeptic. I decided early in the evening that I wouldn't be fooled. That I would watch his hands so I could see where he was going to switch out a card. But nope! I am a skeptic no more. This guy is so good and had the whole audience amazed and entertained from beginning to end. Worth every penny. I went because I value the Trip Advisor ratings people give, and they were very high for this show. Once again, Trip Advisor, you have come through for me!!

    Great show, interactive and so much fun!
    I went to the show with my fiancé, daughter and her best friend. Wow Frederic is a one in a million, likable and charismatic performer. We did a lot of research and read so many great reviews - so happy we chose this show! Frederic was engaging and entertaining and he truly loves what he does. He tells a story and shows pictures from when he was a little boy and how he grew up studying and perfecting his act. Everyone in the audience was amazed and wow what great crowd participation. The entire audience jumped to their feet to give a standing ovation and loud applause! Go to this show!!

    Unbelievable… Prepare To Be Blown Away!
    WOW! Mind blowing! This is an excellent show, well worth seeing. My daughter is very into energy, hypnosis, mentalists, etc… so I picked this show primarily for her. I wasn’t prepared to be as impressed as I was, as I am generally quite skeptical. I highly recommend this show, and especially if you are a skeptic. I thoroughly enjoyed it. We sat in front row center, and loved our seats. However, if you want to have a chance to be picked to participate, your chances may be better if you sit toward the sides, front row to midway back. The picks were totally random, but you are unlikely to catch a frisbee or ball if you are front and center.

    Don’t Miss This One!
    Go see this show! You won’t be disappointed. It will blow your mind. We met Mr Da Silva after the performance and I was blown away by how welcoming and kind he was. Just a class act all the way around. I was also incredibly impressed with the staff at the theater. The person scanning tickets, the bartender (probably should get him some help), the ushers — all of them were very nice and helpful. Someone kicked my husband’s full beer over and we were like, okay, there goes about $20 bucks. Next thing we know, an employee walks over and whispers, “can I bring you a new drink.” And he did - at no charge! Bottom line - go see the show! It has a ton of 5 stars for a reason.

    You Will Be Amazed!
    I highly recommend seeing Paranormal! I guarantee you will be amazed at Frederick Da Silva's mindreading abilities. Every seat in the theatre is a good seat & there is a lot of audience participation. Best for age 12+ . Frederick is so charming & handsome & has a great rapport with the audience. And you can't beat the price! Be sure to go to the free meet & greet after the show! Even my doubting son was fascinated!

    Mind blowing show
    This was my favorite show in Las Vegas !! If you go to one show, make sure it's Frederic Da Silva. The show was in a small theatre so it's easy to see everything that's going on. This show blew our minds. We don't know how he did it. Mr Da Silva is so fun and such a kind man. He spent ages after the show doing autographs and meet and greet for anyone who wanted it. He was so kind to us and agreed to sign my son's pack of cards for us the following day. He will never know how much that meant to us.

    Mind blowing fun
    What a nice guy! The show was great, mind blowing! The small theater gives a personal feel to the show. Random selection of audience participants and closeness of the activities adds to the convincing act.

    A Powerful Sense-of-Awe, mind-blowing. I'm a converted skeptic and this is my story
    First, I can't recommend the show highly enough, it's an amazing show for everyone and family-appropriate. He's funny, authentic, engaging, and personable. I went with a group of 6 buddies and was lucky enough to go on stage, but that was nothing compared to my experience meeting him after the show. Some of what Frederic performs can only be understood through a different lens of perception, or that is the only way I have been able to make sense of it after several days of pondering. Here's my story from March 2023. He has a number of fun techniques designed to demonstrate he's not "planting" actors in the crowd. For example, he lets a random person throw frisbees that usually bounce off a couple of hands before someone gets it, or lets the crowd bounce beach balls until a random says 'stop'. As far as I could tell it was all authentic people; besides logically thinking it would be costly for Bally's and difficult to insert actors in multiple shows a day month after month. At the beginning of the show, I could see that numbers were going to be part of the performance so I asked my friends to share the numbers with me they were thinking and that I was thinking, just to make sure there wasn't some form of planting numbers into our subconscious. We all had different numbers. Mine was 222, repeating if necessary. We didn't end up needing them during the show. He did a number of things that I would categorize as magic and illusions, but there was one where he had me pick numbers of my own "free will", but I wasn't allowed to repeat numbers in succession so 222 was out. In this trick he had already written down the answer in advance (presumably he had "seen" the answer before we experienced it) I chose something like 1, 2, 7, 9, 4, 7. He added this to some other random numbers and they all added up to exactly what he had written down before. That was pretty amazing. He did many other unexplainable things with what had to be close to 20 randomly picked people. He offered to meet and greet people after, and a friend and I went to say hi along with 50-60 other people. He has my friend pick a number 1-100 and he wrote down his exact number 67. He thanked me for coming on stage, and when I asked if he'd do the trick for me, he said "but you picked so many numbers on stage" with a smile. I had my "222 repeating" ready to go. Then he said, "ok pick a number. Ooohhh, you really like repeating numbers." And before he finished the sentence, out of his pocket, he produces a wrinkled, piece of a used post-it note written clearly in pencil was 222. He had written it before the show. HOW!? 🤯 Time must not work the way we think it does, and some people experience the world in different ways.

    Don’t miss out on the fun!
    This show was unbelievable! I would highly recommend seeing it. Frederic da Silva is a skilled entertainer. We spent the entire show, laughing and being amazed at da Silva’s mind reading abilities. The time went too quickly! All in all, a great value at an intimate venue. Well worth a return visit!

If you don't believe in the paranormal mind reading before now then you will absolutely believe in it after seeing the show. Chances are you can catch the frisbee and actually be on stage with him. Many in the audience do!
He uses no stage props and randomly selects items and people in the audience for his mind blowing events. His personality and humor are contagious and your hands ache from clapping so much in utter amazement at SO MANY paranormal demonstrations.
I did a meet 'n greet with Frederic Da Silva after the show for a pic (free and he invites everyone to join). CHECK THIS OUT!! As my wife and I are speaking to him while he's holding a flyer he tells me to pick any number between 1 and 100. As I'm thinking in my mind 80 he looks in to my eyes and says "This is too easy!" He then takes a black marker and writes 80 on the flyer!!
We are planning to fly back to Vegas in the next few months for just one night...just to see Paranormal again since we utterly enjoyed it SO much.

Loved the Las Vegas show by Frederic Da Silva at Ballys! I was skeptical as I read the reviews and even as I was waiting in line. Frederic and his team surpassed all my expectations for a live show.
Two best parts for me:
1) Frederic meticulously planned his show to maximize audience engagement. Every few minutes there is some action where one or more members from the audience is actively participating and helping Frederic with his show. I am willing to bet by the end of the ~ 1 hour show, almost 20% of the audience engaged directly or indirectly with Frederic, which IMHO is amazing!
2) I also appreciate his humility in doing a "Meet & Greet" at the end of the show including a personalized mindreading magic trick. Way too cool!

Frederic de Silva was not only a great showman and a very engaging presenter but was also a great person to meet after the show. He took the time to do some tricks with my kids and small talk. The entire 90 minutes of the show were very interesting and he kept the audience engaged the entire time. My kids are 11 and 8 and thoroughly enjoyed watching and even being a participant! What a fantastic show!

We saw him a year ago and again last week. I have no idea how he does it but it's unbelievable. The nice thing he has a 4:00 show and a later show as well so you can go early and see another show at 8:00 or 9:00.

Just saw the show, Frederic DaSilva is amazing, I’ve seen many shows in Las Vegas and his is by far the best. He includes the audience and keeps everyone interacted not just the people who are brought up on stage. Must see show when in Vegas!!!!!

I may be the hundredth person here to say this...but let me just start by saying I am a huge skeptic of magic, mentalism, and illusions. Instead of enjoying the experience, I usually end up searching for answers to the tricks.

That being said, I was absolutely speechless after this event. I know that Las Vegas is known for its entertainment and magic acts like David Copperfield, but this act is a breath of fresh air. Frederic combined humor, charisma, and an unbelievable show in a very cozy setting. He used only items from the audience, and at first, I thought he had planted a lot of secret assistants. However, when the lady next to me was selected and came back just as dumbstruck, I was amazed. Even better was that his act wasn’t about him and his “powers,” but actually using the audience themselves to feel connected and empowered. I won’t ruin the finale, but his passion was truly inspiring, and the huge line for his meet and greet was filled with strangers talking about the show, which speaks to the power of his performance. I walked away from his meet and greet feeling even more confident and as if I could conquer the world. And to top it all off, he includes all of his fans in the meet and greet in a neat final trick.

Look, if it’s all a performance, he deserves an Oscar. But even if I forget parts of the show, his message of perseverance will always stick with me and is great for anyone who’s uncertain about their future.

I have seen a bunch of shows in Vegas. This one is without a doubt the best show ever! The setting is on the rather smaller side, which makes the whole experience very intimate. Frederic da Silva's energy is infectious and you will laugh a lot, but mostly you are just speechless: "How does he do that?"!!! He also takes the time for a meet and greet after the show with everyone who wants to meet him and he is even performing a small trick with you as well! All in all: great energy, fantastic show! Also, be prepared to go on stage and be part of the trick :) Will return!

This show deserves more than 5 stars, it is classy, jaw-dropping and flawless. I have seen the show multiple times and send people to see the performance at every turn because it is a knock out every time! I have rarely seen such a polished performance and I have yet to figure out how the acts are accomplished. DaSIlva is gracious and a true professional. Tip: go to the free meet and greet at the end of the show..he literally reads EVERY person's mind! Amazing!

You need to see this intimate show & stay for an autograph and Frederic will blow your mind. 5 Stars. I visited from Nashville & attended on Valentine's Day & was lucky to be a participant and I still cant believe what occurred. Stay for an autograph and he will give everyone a personal quick read that will leave you awe inspired.

This show left me totally awestruck and speechless. The engaging storytelling, totally random selection of participants from the audience and the attempt to keep all audience fully involved was exemplary.
Very Thrilling experience guaranteed to leave your brain with a child like wonder.
