Ayrton Veloce support Shin Lim’s “Limitless” in new lighting rig at Palazzo Theatre, Las Vegas

Ayrton Veloce Profile fixtures have been installed recently in the Palazzo Theatre at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas for sleight of hand magician Shin Lim’s “Limitless” show. Shin Lim has a long-term residency at the 1,800-seat venue where his show has been packing the theatre for more than a year. When The Venetian decided to upgrade the Palazzo’s ageing moving light package, Jeff Croiter, lighting designer for “Limitless”, became involved in the equipment discussion.

“Shin’s show is reliant on theatrically heightened lighting, especially for the close up magic sections, and the existing lights were inconsistent enough to make the performers uncomfortable”, says Croiter who also served as Penn & Teller’s lighting designer for twelve years. He first deployed Veloce profiles as the lighting designer for the Disney musical “Hercules”, now playing in London’s West End - the show has a largely Ayrton lighting plot with Veloce predominating.

For Shin Lim’s “Limitless” show, The Venetian purchased fifteen Veloce Profiles and mounted them over the stage in a backlight position. “They replace hybrid wash/profile-type fixtures”, Croiter explains. “We use them as backlight washes and for tight specials on the performers throughout the show.” The Veloce Profiles also create a series of dark purple outline boxes, which move around the stage floor that are used for transitions.
