We did the magic circle experience with close up magic. It was a really unique evening and some of their artifacts were so interesting to see. Bron was exceptional and we really enjoyed the way she told stories. She was engaging with the audience and I was amazed how she remembered all the facts. We learned some of the great magicians are buried in Scotland and we'll definitely have a look for them when home. My only feedback would be people at the front kept getting picked to participate and a few noisy audience members were distracting. A great experience in London nevertheless.
Great show.

We had a great time. The tour was very comprehensive. It was interesting to learn about some of the famous magicians' life stories. We very much enjoyed a show of card magic at the end of the tour.

Excellent tour. Lee, our host, was exceptionally charismatic and informative. For the inner-child in all of us who can’t get enough of magic and its brilliance, this tour is a must-see.
Happy and enjoyable time

We had a good experience for the first time seeing a Magic Circle performance. The organisation was good with dividing the total audience of more than 100 people into smaller groups for different parts of the performance. The first part of the show upstairs was very good, the atmosphere was calm and quiet, with good lighting allowing us to see the whole performance close up, and the magician (John Duffett) was excellent. However, the downstairs performance in the bar area was quite noisy and dark, which did not fully engage the audience attention. The final part in the main theatre had a good atmosphere, even sitting at half way towards the back we could still clearly see and hear the performance. The whole experience was good and we would recommend it to everyone for a happy and enjoyable time.
Great Show

Mindblowing event, definitely worth a visit! The Magic Circle event was absolutely mind-blowing. Four incredibly talented magicians performed, each showcasing exceptional skill. During the breaks, short guided tours were offered- informative, engaging, and filled with witty, intelligent stories and anecdotes, all delivered with plenty of humour. Last but not least: the star of the evening, was the host- Bron Ivy. She was exceptionally charming and funny. (You can even book an event with her through the Magic Circle website.) I went with my 14-year-old son, and we had an unforgettable evening. The audience included many adults as well, who seemed to enjoy it just as much as we did. Definitely worth a visit!
