Illusionists Kevin & Caruso Rely on CHAUVET Lighting

When illusionists Kevin & Caruso moved into the Ramada Marco Polo Resort in Sunny Isles Beach, FL they knew they needed lighting that would help portray the excitement and drama of their award-winning show and provide as much bang for the buck as possible. The duo with the help of S.E.A.L. turned to CHAUVET.

In their high energy “New Wave Magic Show”, which has been described as “Harry Potter meets Cirque du Soleil”, CHAUVET scanners, PAR cans, and foggers play a critical role. Kevin says of CHAUVET, “Our CHAUVET lighting can be relied upon show after show and deliver the effects we want and need to create a great environment for our performance”. Elaborately costumed showgirls dance and intermix with the duo levitating, making wild animals appear and disappear, prove that Elvis is still alive, and even create a blizzard in South Florida.

The CHAUVET Trackscans were put to the ultimate test when hurricanes Katrina & Wilma came calling last year. The theatre was severely damaged, with part of the roof even being peeled back. Many of the set pieces and other props were destroyed. Everyone feared the worst when the crew opened up the CHAUVET lights and water poured out of several of the scanners. While not rated or recommended for wet environments, the fixtures fired right back up after drying out and continue to run flawlessly.

Kevin & Caruso, whose show has recently been named South Florida’s longest consecutively running production, remain steadfast CHAUVET supporters. The duo is planning on purchasing more CHAUVET fixtures for the next generation of their show. When asked about CHAUVET, Kevin said, “When they (CHAUVET) say every fixture they sell has extraordinary Value, Innovation and Performance, they mean it. When I have a question, someone from CHAUVET is always available and eager to help me, and that means the world to me.”
