About this tour
When Mia from our BookNow team caught Frederic Da Silva's Paranormal show at Horseshoe Las Vegas, she walked in sceptical and walked out genuinely unsettled. The French mentalist—famous from his Got Talent run—spends 85 minutes pulling off prediction tricks that genuinely mess with your sense of what's possible. The Horseshoe's theatre sits right on the Strip, packed with the usual Vegas mix of tourists and locals after a decent night out. It's slick, paced well, and Da Silva's got stage presence—but the real question is whether you're there to be fooled or to figure out how it's done.
Highlights
- Da Silva reads audience members' choices with eerie accuracy—no cold reads
- Fast-paced 85 minutes; doesn't drag or repeat tricks
- Theatre's intimate enough that you see his expressions clearly
- Wheelchair accessible venue with decent proximity to public transport
- Seats subject to change—shows flexibility without locked-in assignments
- Hypnotic element keeps the energy unpredictable between segments
- Works for all fitness levels; no physical demands on audience
What to expect
The show kicks off with Da Silva establishing his mentalist credentials through a series of increasingly bold predictions. He'll ask volunteers from the audience to make choices—pick a card, think of a number, write something down—and then seemingly divine what they've selected. The tension builds because you're watching him work close enough to spot a tell, but you can't quite catch one. Mia found the pacing snappy; he doesn't linger on a failed moment and moves into the next segment before scepticism sets in too hard.
The hypnosis element crops up midway through, which shifts the tone from intellectual puzzle-solving to something a bit darker and more theatrical. The room stays engaged throughout, though some audience members clearly want to believe harder than others. By the end, you're left in that sweet spot of not knowing whether it's genuine mentalism, psychological manipulation, or just very clever stagecraft—which is exactly where Da Silva wants you.

Good to know
If you love magic that makes you question your own perception, this lands. Da Silva's polish is obvious; he's not fumbling or relying on patter to cover gaps. The show suits anyone from solo travellers to couples, and there's no need to be physically fit or have special knowledge. The Horseshoe is accessible for wheelchair users and prams, and you can catch a bus or walk to the venue.
You're paying for the ticket alone—no transport included, and drinks cost extra. Peak times (weekends, evenings) will have busier crowds, and seat maps do change, so you don't lock in your exact spot. If you're the type who needs everything explained, you might leave frustrated rather than delighted. Arrive early enough to grab a beverage if you want one; the bar can get sticky during shows. About 85 minutes, so plan your evening around that.
