Colin Cloud’s Hoax is interesting. Dramatic and although a little scattered across ideas still a good show for anyone interested In Mind reading, getting shocked or just having a good time. 

To say the skill of Colin Cloud is impressive is an understatement. Every guess he gets  right which of course is all of them, will leave you feeling confused, mystified and impressed beyond belief. 

At points you feel the show lacks a clear direction reaching for too many things like hoaxes and memories. At points there is slight confusion trying to make the audience remember a million and one things for a big reveal at the end. But most of this is sorted out by the end so really there isn’t much to fear.

Despite this the show is still enjoyable as long as you let it be. Not focusing on certain things or details like constantly trying to figure out how it works too  deeply means you can appreciate his skill  and have a good time. The show is still jaw dropping and each thing he guesses is more elaborate than the last and a big reveal to shock you one last time. 

This is an enjoyable show that surprises at every turn and a funny host makes this a good time and a good laugh.
