Your Itinerary for a Magical Evening
Close-Up Pre-Show: Your evening begins at 7:15 PM with an up-close-and-personal magic experience. We welcome the audience in small groups into our intimate close up room, where you will be joined by one of our resident prestidigitators. In this intimate setting, our magician will perform feats of skill and dexterity mere inches in front of your face. After our 15 minutes of close-up magic, you are welcome to relax in the bar and lounge and enjoy our liquid refreshments before the evening’s main event begins.
Main Stage Show: At 8:00 PM, the main stage is illuminated and our featured performer dazzles you with their world class magic. Our Main Stage is where we showcase today’s BEST Professional Magicians. We carefully curate our cast of performers from the top magicians not only in LA , but those from around the globe as they pass thru on tour. Each week we spotlight different performers, so there is always something new to see. Our main stage amazement runs for approximately 60-75 minutes.
Learn more about our Featured Performers below.
Illusion Bar Magic: Join us at our newly renovated bar after the Main Show. Our wine list features over 35 different wine labels — almost all available by the glass. We offer a varied selection of beers for our guests who prefer hops over grapes. After our magician-bartenders serve your beverage of choice, they will settle in and demonstrate their magical abilities for you one-on-one.
