Why Families Love the Broadway Magic Hour
For Time Out New York to call it one of the “Best Off-Broadway Shows for Kids and Families” and one of the “Best Magic Shows in NYC” is no surprise: Broadway Magic Hour is a laugh-out-loud comedy magic show with plenty of fine sleight-of-hand and theatrical illusions, dazzling kids and dazzling adults alike while remaining a classic hit for grown-ups.
This special Holiday Magic Spectacular turns up the wonder with Christmas and Holiday surprises — snow-kissed visual illusions, delightfully magical winter storytelling, mischievous moments that would have even the Grinch smiling. Expect audience participation, shout-along laughs, and a finale that your whole family (kids, tweens, teens, and even the parents and grandparents) won’t stop talking about.
The Magicians of The Broadway Magic Hour
Jim Vines — award-winning sleight of hand artist (FISM North American Champion of Magic), and known for Penn & Teller: Fool Us.
Carl Mercurio — a popular headliner (Mohegan Sun) with hilariously deadpan crowdwork skills, and unbelievably fooling sleight-of-hand.
They produce an hour of magical wonder that unfolds in a whirl of intrigue and merriment.
