On his last visit to Las Vegas and after dinner with Siegfried & Roy, Hans told me he still hopes to return to the Strip with his follow-up “fastest magic in the world” show. He had flown in from Amsterdam via London to appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she filmed on location here at Caesars Palace.

This was no illusion for the “Believe” star. No tricks, nothing hidden, no sleight of hand or wizardry to divert attention. The "Mindfreak" star, who is shooting a new series of one-hour specials for Spike TV, was in full view of the audience members, who stopped shopping at the Fashion Show mall on the Strip.
