I took my adult son and his eight and ten year old children to the show. We had a great time and loved both the illusions and built in. Omer. Adult innuendos went over the kids head and there was no offensive language, etc. Aston took time after to show the kids a couple of tricks and pose for photos. Would recommend
Phenomenal performance the interactions between the audience and performer was great as well I would definitely come back as well suggest the show to someone.
One man show. Small venue in quaint part of town. Very entertaining and interactive. Glad we went. A must see.
What an amazing show! We had such a great time. The magician was incredibly talented, hilarious, and kept the audience entertained from start to finish. The mix of comedy and magic was perfect, and there were so many moments that left us laughing and wondering, “How did he do that?!”
My fiancé and I had an absolute blast and enjoyed every minute of it. If you’re looking for a fun night out, I highly recommend this show. Great entertainment, lots of laughs, and unforgettable magic!
Hilarious and we were truly stunned and confused. While some tricks were obvious trick of the hand, others we genuinely had no idea. We left amazed, amused, and in awe. Highly recommend!
Cozy setup for max 25 people. Magician does everything and often stops the show to accept new guests. Very funny and skilled.
High energy, intimate setting, and interactive!!!
Very accommodating. I’d suggest bringing red wine to drink( no chilling required) or a mini cooler with ice if you plan to drink cocktails!
What a great show! The magic was impressive, the comedy was spot-on, and the audience interaction kept everyone entertained from beginning to end. It had just the right amount of playful, slightly risqué humor to keep the adults laughing while still being all in good fun. The magician was charismatic, quick-witted, and incredibly talented. We left amazed, laughing, and talking about the show long afterward. Highly recommend for a fun and memorable night out!
Come with a good sense of humor. The comedy can be a little risque but still very very good. Great show overall.
Entertaining but not worth the amount of money charged for tickets. Some tricks were super fun some hard to follow by kiddos.
It was a smaller room, sold out... he was great. And funny. Audience participation was great! It is BYOB
this was so much fun!! loved that it was small and intimate and the magician was absolutely hilarious!! loved that the experience was interactive as well!!
We wanted something fun to do Saturday night and found this magic show on Viator. We weren't sure what to expect but we were so glad we decided to see this show!! Aaron was not only great at magic (duh) but he is hilarious. He had so many one liners and funny interactions with the audience. There's only about 50 seats or so, it's a very intimate setting which only adds to the vibe. There were some GREAT tricks (or miracles as he calls it) and we sat in the front row and even up close still had no idea how he did these things. You can bring in your own drinks to the show, and there are snacks and a few soda and drink options for sale too. Make sure you get your Hoppy the psychic bunny magnet on the way out! Great way to spend an hour and half of your time in Chicago!
This show was perfect!
Tricks, Crowd Involvement, Wow Factor, Small Intimate setting, LOVED IT! My Kids and I spoke about every trick for the rest of the night.
He even stayed afterwards and took pictures and spoke with us all about the show! 10/10 I’d recommend to everyone… SHAMAR HAD A BLAST!
Fantastic show! Aaron's creative approach to magic was entertaining, kept the audience involved and produced the "WOW" with every act! Highly recommend for all types of groups. Recommending to friends locally and traveling into Chicago; a MUST SEE!
The location is in a smallish business in Chicago. The environment and decorations are cozy, slightly antique, and magical. When you enter, you are in for a world of astonishment.
The theater is small; about 35 people. With such a small theater, the magic is right "in your face". He's astounding!! From the tricks he does right at that moment to the ones he does now then you see the result later in the show, you'll be amazed! We had a great time there!
It was ok. The age said 12 and up but it was definitely inappropriate for them. I was uncomfortable sitting there with my 3 children at all the sexual jokes.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for attending our show as part of your birthday celebration, Vanessa! Very sorry to learn some of the humor was not to your taste. For clarity to future guests:
Our show is intended for the enjoyment of adults with a suggested minimum of age 12. Plenty of younger guests (0-11) have attended to great success. We simply ask that they can sit still for an hour without disrupting the experience for others. The only adult content is innuendo that should go over a kid’s head. There is no cursing, nudity, or drug references. Merely wordplay.
We were smiling the entire time. The jokes paired with the initial cheesy magic turned into a surprising trick kept us feeling enthused. The hour show passed quick! This was my third time and can’t wait to go back.
Two of the headsets don’t work- they tried giving us different ones but the kept glitching so we asked for our money back. Definitely was not as cool as we expected. We were very disappointed.

Hi Kami—sounds like this was meant for Verse Immersive?
Would be much appreciated if you could update this review to properly reflect our experience.
We do not distribute headsets at any point during the show nor were we approached about remedying a situation. Spoke with this guest on phone and she expressed this was meant for Verse Immersive.
Great entertainment -Aaron was amazing, easy parking- fun activity with family in town- great location near restaurants for after show.
Absolutely fantastic show that keeps you entertained the entire time! The ending definitely is the finale and the interaction aspect of the show makes it so special because it is close up and personal
I would 100% recommend this to anybody even remotely interested in magic! An absolute must do and Aaron has had this spot in Chicago for almost 8 years so he knows what he’s doing!
Entertaining. I would recommend the show. It was my first magic show & I wasn’t sure what to expect but I enjoyed it.
This is an outstanding show! Super impressive tricks with a TON of witty humor. We were more than surprised with the skill level as well as how much we laughed! Great time, and would recommend to everyone!
This was a great show ! He did very well keeping interaction with his audience and quite a comedian we absolutely loved it !!! Would definitely recommend this show !!
Thank you !!
Small venue. Program a bit hokey. Disappointing. Okay. The jokes were a bit lame. The idea of his imaginary off-stage assistant got tiresome.
This show is truly amazing! Such a fun and entertaining show! The magician is fantastic! Truly talented!
Super fun and entertaining show. It was intimate, only about 30 people. The magician kept our interest and had great magic tricks.
Very intimate setting. It’s funny and
amazing! It’s a mixture of magic and adult entertainment . Perfect for date night .
The place was small but the talent was BIG! We were genuinely wowed by the talent of this magician. The jokes were a little naughty but I’m sure go over most children’s heads. Definite must see!
Best mixture of magic and comedy!!!
This was the second time we see this show. It is so much fun. A must see show in Chicago and there are nice restaurants in the Lakeview neighborhood for after the show. I highly recommend it.
