Every weekend the Art Deco elegance of Castlereagh Boutique Hotel will showcase this iconic Sydney experience - hosted by Bruce Glen, The Gentleman Magician.

5.00I had a delightful evening. "The gentleman magician" presented an enjoyable evening of stories and magic, he was charming, the venue was a lovely piece of old Sydney. I would certainly recommend it to anyone seeking a gentle bit of entertainment.

3.00Intimate setting with a charming concept, but ultimately underwhelming. The storytelling dragged and overshadowed the actual magic, which was sparse and lacked impact.

5.00The Magician Bruce Glen was brilliant. The stories he tells were interesting and I was in awe of all the magical tricks he showed through the show. If you haven’t seen his show you need to put it on your bucket list. Absolutely amazing way to spend an evening. 🫶
Spell Binding, Magical and Captivating. A magical show that is like no other

5.00This show was excellent fantastic evening from the minute you enter the hotel to the show. Your personal experience you have with Libby and Glen is out of this world well worth a few hours out of your evening

1.00This trip was cancelled two days before it took place, and visitor did not inform me!! I showed up, after great effort to get there, only to be told by the magician that Viator knee it had been cancelled. Not okay. Please refund my money!! My efforts to reach Viator have been futile, hence my request on this platform. I am hoping for a response!! Booking no. 1496645991

4.00Just had fun . The strict restriction of food to keep costs down was disappointing. Maybe just a bowl of jatz and cube cheese - to assist with those the appetite is needed …….. For something different For a good laugh Something fun for date night . Just make sure you eat and drink before you go .
Does what it says on the blurb!! Magic is as magic does!

3.00I was somewhat baffled by the title "The Gentleman Magician" as all the magicians I know dress well and speak mellifuously. The price tag seemed quite high (over a hundred dollars) but I assumed the title 'soiree' meant a meal and a show. The hungry will leave dissatisfied. We received a glass of bubbly on arrival and three items of finger food. Bruce Glen demonstrated some very basic magic tricks that were well practiced and expertly executed. A well researched patter keeps the audience engaged. Some of his explanations were a little too long leaving too great a gap between tricks. Perhaps some quick simple sleight of hand as he builds to the climax of a bigger trick ? Why didn't his assistant get sawn in half ? Too expensive for children, the real audience for this sort of show. My partner enjoyed it immensely. Invited to join Bruce at the bar we instead went for pizza.
