About the show
Da Silva blends psychological illusions, suggestion, and razor-sharp observation to pull impossible details from strangers—names, memories, drawings—often after a quick handshake. The tone is playful, volunteer-driven, and surprisingly clean; the reveals land inches from your face in a compact room built for proximity.
Highlights of the show
Mind games, not big boxes: predictions, draws, influence, light hypnosis
High audience interaction with rotating volunteers and running callbacks
Afternoon slot that pairs easily with a later headliner or dinner
Great value vs. big-room productions, with every seat close to the work

Venue layout
The Imagine Showroom is a cozy, low-stage, table-free room with chairs (some back areas convert to counters/stools when demand is high). The footprint is shallow, so even rear rows feel near the stage; center-line reads a touch cleaner for misdirection beats.
Here’s a layout of the venue.
Getting there, parking & wayfinding
Enter Horseshoe from the Strip; take the escalator/elevator to level 2 and follow signs to Imagine Showroom. Rideshare drops at the main/valet entrances. Self-parking is available in the Horseshoe/Paris garages—allow extra minutes for elevators and casino navigation. Get directions

About the artist
Frédéric Da Silva is a European award-winning mentalist (TV credits include “France’s Got Talent”) who’s built a long-running Vegas residency on close-quarters deduction, suggestion, and fast, friendly crowd work—more “Sherlock with jokes” than shock theater.
