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.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
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.
Neil_S, Dec 2025
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!
Tasia_H, Nov 2025
Entertaining. I would recommend the show. It was my first magic show & I wasn’t sure what to expect but I enjoyed it.
Rosalie_R, Nov 2025
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!
Sheila_M, Oct 2025
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 !!
MaryLou_H, Oct 2025
Small venue. Program a bit hokey. Disappointing. Okay. The jokes were a bit lame. The idea of his imaginary off-stage assistant got tiresome.
Paulette_J, Sep 2025
This show is truly amazing! Such a fun and entertaining show! The magician is fantastic! Truly talented!
Teresa_G, Sep 2025
Super fun and entertaining show. It was intimate, only about 30 people. The magician kept our interest and had great magic tricks.
Antwon_J, Sep 2025
Very intimate setting. It’s funny and
amazing! It’s a mixture of magic and adult entertainment . Perfect for date night .
Amy_P, Aug 2025
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!
Lucy_G, Jun 2025
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.
stacie_p, Apr 2025
Small venue- so you get really up close magic. He’s adorable and funny- enjoyed the night and was entertained. Something different than your typical night out.
Lauren_H, Feb 2025
This was a fantastic magic show! Really small and intimate venue. Lots of crowd work, jokes, and mind-bending tricks.
Paul_A, Feb 2025
The Mrs and I got out for a much needed joint birthday evening and it was the best decision I think I’ve made all year. We had a blast! We laughed, we cried. Ok well we laughed till we cried. After the show all we talked about on the drive home was how impressed we were with Aaron’s ability to connect with his audience through a level of engagement only made possible by the atmosphere he creates to begin with. Pure genius. And you gotta hand it to his intern Steve too, dudes gonna have his own show one day, Aaron better watch out!
Chris_H, Feb 2025
Magic At Its Best. We decided to do this on a whim & it made our evening memorable. I’m a professional entertainer, it’s hard to impress me but everything from the production to the performance was captivating and down right entertaining. I’ll be back…. With friends!
Maria_C, Feb 2025
It was an amazing experience. We totally Loved it ❤️ will definitely recommend this event to friends an anyone looking a nice event to do.
Jacquelyn_C, Jan 2025
Charisma at its finest! This show is above the rest! Aaron is truly an exceptional entertainer with his magic!! And his sidekick Steve !
Jenn_J, Jan 2025
Funny-witty and entertaining —interactive and intimate magic experience. Would recommend with friends!
Miguel_L, Jan 2025
This was absolutely amazing, histerical and great magic. We didnt want it to end. Highly recommend..
Reena_V, Oct 2024
So I went to see the baseball and I was in the area, so after my game I went to see the magic show, it’s a 5-8 min walk from Wrigley field and same distance from the red line. Aaron put on an amazing show, he was funny, included most of the crowd, it was such a great night, I travelled from the UK and wanted a night out and this was something different, and well worth it. I would definitely recommend going to see this, even if you’re visiting Chicago, it may see a little far but it’s only 25 mins from downtown and lots of bars and places to eat around the stadium.
Laura_R, Jun 2024
It's a very small venue but packed with cool and engaging comedy and tricks. Don't come expecting huge production value, bc the camp theme of it all really sets the scene. The magician did some really impressive close up magic and tons of audience participation. Jokes are definitely filled with innuendo but I don't think my 11 year old picked up on most of it. I had a great time, laughed and was amazed by some of the 'mind reading' tricks performed. We will be back!
Cheryl_D, Jun 2024
Aaron was funny and he was entertaining and there was audience participation. Do NOT bring young ones under 16 I would say. He makes some comments that might need explaining. Highly entertaining!
Jami_R, Apr 2024
This is a comedy show that has very racy undertones and sexual innuendos. It is engaging and entertaining and hilarious--if you are prepared and OK with the content matter.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for attending our show, Jami_R! Very sorry to learn some of the humor was not to your taste. For clarity to future guests:
The show is intended for the enjoyment of adults with a suggested minimum of 12. A portion of the comedy is innuendo like one may find in a cheeky PG movie. There is nothing explicit in the form of cursing, nudity, or drug references. Merely wordplay.
Harpreet_S, Feb 2024
Host is very friendly and very funny. I like how he had a theme and story line. I'd love to see an act 2 or an expansion to the story of where the hoppy's psychic career leads
