Sam Eaton’s The Quantum Eye – Mentalism and Magic Show

Entertaining show. Not a traditional magic show so don’t expect that. More about powers of perception and observation. Had my family discussing for awhile how he did some of his tricks. Fun time.

was advertised as a family show, and I took 3 kids. It’s definitely not for kids under 12. The first half of the show you could barely even hear him. this is just disrespectful to your audience. Overall, not for such a large audience, not for kids, slightly amusing.

Great show. I enjoyed it. Kids love it and mind reading magic he demostrates is amazing.

4.5 stars scored tix from goldstar and really had no idea what we were going to see. It is not a magic show or an illusionist show but more of a mind reading mentalist show.
My family of four ended up in the first row which was scary to me because I dread getting picked for being up on stage etc. There were about 120 or so people in the audience kids& adults, families and people on dates. The first few things he did were cool, I was picked for the guess what you are thinking of bit about a pet. He managed to guess my very obscure not obvious pet name and I still have no idea how he did it.
Recommend this as a good show for families (10+ would appreciate it more), friends. You have a very good chance of being picked to go on stage — so if you are deathly shy do not sit up front.
Really had us discussing it still 2 days later!
There is a bar in the theater if you want to grab a drink.

He is amazing. Loved the show for adults and kids alike. He makes u believe that some people have an amazing talent that is a cross between magic and ESP. He makes no claim of being psychic but you could have fooled me. He even hangs out with you after the show to answer questions. Small theater perfect for the family. Not a bad seat in the house.

I was pumped for this show that I purchased through a Living Social deal. You have to make the reservation at least a week in advance, so I thought it had to be good. Well, after about 15 minutes of the show, I was trying to decide if I really wanted to stay or not.
Sam, although I’m sure a very nice guy, just didn’t do it for me. His jokes weren’t funny and his acts needed work. Don’t get me wrong, there were some folks in the audience who were laughing and enjoying the acts but primarily kids and older folks. I do not recommend this show for 20 – 30 somethings.

My friend and I went to the show last Saturday evening. It was entertaining. Sam Eaton is a mentalist — not really a magician. Neither I nor my friend were picked out of the audience to participate in any of his tricks but I don’t believe it’s staged as people have complained. I think Sam uses age old tricks and the power of suggestion or persuasion and other things. But it’s not staged. During the performance I attended, he picked some volunteers out of the audience, lots of children as well, and their reactions and participation didn’t exactly go as he might have liked — some were uncooperative or were not getting the point and I can see how that might have thrown somebody off but he was a good sport and worked around it. It was a good show for the whole family — but I would like it if he did shows for just adults that didn’t include kids with some other mentalist tricks.
The show was at Theater 80 at 80 Saint Marks Place and I thought it was a decent venue for the show.
If he did a brand new show with new tricks, that was later in the evening and was for grown ups, I would go again. Maybe he should have a couple of different shows where he does the family-​friendly one and then maybe a separate show for adults.

An amazing time for myself and my family. Sam picked me and I can ASSURE the doubters out there that the show is not staged. You must separate yourself from «magic» and expect to see a mentalist. It’s MATH, Sam understands things that most people can’t and can break down mathematics to have it look like he is reaching in your mind and showing you what you think.
The show will AMAZE you, I only wish he could pick everyone in the audience to show that it is not staged.

I am here to tell you that this show is for adults as well… and the audience members are picked at random, as my friend and I happened to be picked at random.
All 4 of us that went thoroughly enjoyed the show. We sat there analyzing how Sam Eaton can possibly get all the tricks right every single time. Very cool!
I only wish that the show varied from week to week so I could see it again with new tricks.

Cute show for children

Its mostly number related, so if you like math and numbers; I suggest you check it out! I was so mind-​blown my head started to hurt.

My boyfriend bought us tickets to go see this show since I am a huge magic fan. We’re from Philly and traveled up to New York for the show. I was super excited when we arrived and was totally bummed out by the time we left.
I like to believe that what I’m seeing is real, and not staged. I did not feel this way at all. I felt as though everyone Sam picked had been planned out. There were many people in the audience raising their hands (myself included) asking to be picked as a volunteer. He never picked any of these people! I just didn’t buy it.
How am I supposed to be impressed that 2 people are drawing something similar, or guessing the same time of day if they had been preselected and told what to do on stage? This is what I feel had been done, er, almost positive had been done.
Hopefully I can see another magic type show again so that I will become a believer again. This man totally ruined it for me. I would not recommend anyone go see this show.
Aside from the act itself, we were seated in just plain old chairs. Like ones they have at old banquet halls. Very uncomfortable. One plus side, there was a cement block with Joan Rivers’ name on it in the lobby of the theater. That was pretty exciting..

I’ve seen this show 2 times. The first time was a few years back in a smaller location than where it is now and the second time was when I won tickets in their raffle and it was at the Snapple theater.
I must say I miss the smaller location, at that time the show was just starting out and it felt more intimate. There was about 30 people in the audience and so audience participation was fun. Not that the audience participation isn’t fun at the large theatre but its just not as intimate, the stage is further away and participation is too much walking back and forth.
All in all the show is great entertainment and I enjoyed it each time I went. You never really figure out how he does it! Great for kids and older folks too!

The theater is small and intimate, so you are very close to the stage. Sam is very engaging and likable. Every trick he did, he called on an audience volunteer. I think the show is good for kids, aged 8 and up. The very young ones may not be able to appreciate the tricks. Afterwards, he makes himself available to talk with audience members, which is also nice. Before the show, there is a cute little bar next to the theater that you can order drinks. it’s really a cute/​quaint space, an entertaining show, and makes for a pleasant afternoon in the city.

This was a pretty entertaining show. Sam did a lot of mentalist tricks that on the surface were pretty amazing. He has a good personality and really involves the audience.
The theater itself is pretty cool, feels like an old time theater. Holds about 300 people, all the seats are good.

This show is no longer on Bleecker St. Its new location is on St. Marks. This show reminds me of the street acts where the magician asks for volunteers to help with his tricks; except its 75 mins long. If this is what you are looking for, you will enjoy it. We saw this show using a groupon which costed $ 23 per tickets. I would not value this show more than that.

Sam Eaton is a Mentalist and Magician who amuses the audience with his ability to read minds and predict the outcome of the show. He amuses the audience from beginning to end. This is a great entertaining show you should definitely take the time to see.
