Experience the Magic

Sept 25, Oct 23, Dec 4

Have you ever wanted to witness amazing feats of close up and parlor magic only a few feet away? Eric Gagne’s “Backstage Magic” gives you the opportunity to do just that. Imagine entering a small dimly lit black box style theater, where you then take your seat.   You are not going to be watching a magic show from the twenty eighth row of a large Vegas style showroom, rather you will be viewing all of the magic while seated up close to the magic only a few feet away in a very intimate and unique setting.

Each show being limited to only 55 guests, you are not just watching a demonstration of modern day close up magic, you actually become apart of the show. The performance lasts 65 minutes with no intermission. Witness as Eric performs amazing card effects, makes borrowed items do impossible things, and reads your mind in ways you cannot believe. Please note while the show is family friendly, it is primarily designed as an evening for adults. Children 16 years old and younger will not be permitted. Tickets are general admission. Ticket quantities are extremely limited.  Tickets must be purchased online and will not be sold at the door.  You must print off your confirmation email and bring it with you the night of the show, as it will be your ticket.

LOCAL SPOTS

The theatre is available for rentals and birthday parties.
