FRENCH MAGICIAN XAVIER MORTIMER
LIVE IN LAS VEGAS
When French magician Xavier Mortimer
auditioned for America’s Got Talent, Season
10 (2015) he performed a routine involving
wine glasses and cymbals. All four AGT
judges – Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, Mel B,
and Howie Mandel – voted him through. But
when Xavier dropped a ball while juggling
during his second performance on AGT, he
was eliminated. After making it to the finals
of the British TV competition The Next Great
Magicians and performing with Cirque du
Soleil’s Michael Jackson One show, Mortimer
is back in the States and giving AGT another
try on Season 12.
According to Robin Leach (formerly of The
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous) who
now writes for Las Vegas Review-Journal,
Mortimer already has a show in Las Vegas.
He’s been performing his one-man show for
six-months at Planet Hollywood Resort’s Sin
City Theater on the Strip and he just signed
a 6-month extension. Leach describes the
70-minute show as “a love-struck poem that
unfolds through more than 14 acts, each
packed with magical illusions and conjuring
trickery — over 100 in all!
