Reality TV stars and critically acclaimed magician and pianist duo, Jarret & Raja, have entertained audiences worldwide with their amazing and unique blend of magic, music and comedy. The Strip’s newest hit family show includes music director Jeff Neiman, soulful singing, and spectacular illusions.
Directed by Doug Baker (Tournament of Kings), “Magic vs Music” will make its debut in the Stratosphere Theater on October 18 performing Wednesday through Sunday at 4pm with tickets starting at $39.99.
Chosen from a field of 43,000, Jarret & Raja appeared as entrepreneurs on ABC’s “Shark Tank” where they debuted their newest illusion, the (world’s first) Piano Aquarium. As Howie Mandel’s Wild Card pick, Jarret & Raja were the sensational magic act on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” (Season 7).
