Greatest Hotel SHOW on earth

john_s, Apr 2024

Hands down the best part is the way they make you feel like your part of the show. Their chemistry is crazy it’s never a dull moment. Definitely will do it again

A must see you wont be disappointed

John_O, Mar 2024

Audience participation fun, the tricks were varied and very well done. The format makes it fun since the magicians have to compete and they have good banter with each other as well as with the audience.

Family Show, Not Really Comedy Based, Its a Magic Show

Erica_G, Nov 2023

This was literally a basement magic show. If you have kids take them to see this. Family focused, not alot for an adults evening out. Should have attended the comedy show across the street at the Improv instead. Moments of comedy, but more so just a magic show, some cool tricks, don't get me wrong, but aimed towards children/family audiences. Not what I expected or hoped for.

Surprisingly fun
