Internationally Celebrated Magician and Illusionist Joe Labero Blazes on the Las Vegas Strip at the Paris Theater at Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino with Inferno: The Fire Spectacular; Literally the Hottest Show in Vegas
This past Sunday evening, the cast of the show Inferno celebrated their 100th show at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. The show features veteran magician and illusionist Joe Labero performing a variety of tricks, stunts and feats that will leave you wondering how he did them.
We were on hand to watch the 100th performance of the show, at the Paris Theater, as well as partake in the celebration after the show. See our photo with the cast and their celebratory cake and cupcakes above.
Inferno: The Fire Spectacular is literally the hottest show on the Las Vegas Strip. Playing at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, the show features a variety of acts with fire. Besides the master magician and illusionist’s impressive act, Joe Labero’s sidekick in the show, Animal, and The Fuel Girls perform a variety of stunts involving pyrotechnics, that will leave you impressed. Some of them are nerve wrecking, while others create serenely beautiful images.
After the show, we had a chance to speak with Joe Labero in his dressing room. See photo below. He told me that the show’s concept was first discussed back in 2014. The illusionist said that he had no major concerns about a show involving fire. However, he admitted that he has suffered burns during some performances, but neither he nor the cast have ever suffered major injuries.
A native of Sweden, Mr. Labero hopes people will leave his show having fallen in love with magic. His original desire was to bring a European themed magic show to America and he has no doubt accomplished that. This fiery spectacular offers up a duality – our natural tendency to be afraid of fire while also being taken in by its beauty.
Joe first fell in love with magic when he was 12 years old and the rest, as they say, is history. Throughout the show, he interacts with audience members in a good humored way, remembering their names and professions as he frequently goes back to them during the show.
Though Joe Labero may do death defying stunts, he is an easy going and likable star performer who works well with his group of supporting stars, all of whom have unique talents that add something to the production.
Back in 2009, the Swedish magician was honored with the Illusionist of the Decade Award, that had also been given to David Copperfield and Siegfried and Roy. The award is considered to be one of the great honors a magician can attain.
There is no denying Joe Labero has put in the time and effort to pull off one of the most entertaining shows on the Las Vegas Strip. It is, without a doubt, a must see performance in the Entertainment Capital of the World.
