Tanisha L.

Excellent for a first magic show experience. Peter is very personable but most importantly an amazing magician. I am still in awe. You have to experience for yourself. More than mere card tricks and great magic. Make reservations online and recommend front row or close to front seating. Downtown location inside Embassy Suites Hotel to allow for dinner/drinks before or after or make a staycation of it. You can take drinks in the show from Ruth Chris.

Hello, Peter's #1 fan here. What. a. show. I was invited to the Atlanta Magic Theater along with some of my amazing buddies at Discover Atlanta after chatting about how I just had to see this amazing magician. I'm a fun girl, I love nothing more than a great show/performance and although I haven't been to many magic shows, I knew that it was right up my alley. Know that the Atlanta Magic Theater is located inside of Embassy Suites, so be on the lookout for the hotel. When I arrived, it seemed that only valet may have been available there which was totally fine for me, but something to know if you'd prefer finding parking elsewhere. The valet guys were kind and quick, and had me on my way to the show within moments of stepping out of my car. The hotel lobby itself is huge, full of room for travelers and magic lovers alike. I was walked over to the location where the Atlanta Magic Theater is housed and saw the buzz beginning. A handsome, sharply-dressed gentleman with a great smile was standing in the lobby area chatting up some guests and I figured, "that must be him." And minutes later he turned his attention to me and began asking more about myself. After chatting about his background in San Francisco and the Yelp connections, he started up a card trick that although seemingly simple, had me pumped and ready for the rest of the magic lol. It was a great little teaser! Once the show was about to begin, Peter came out and gathered myself and the other attendees and guided us into the theater. What a theater!! Being a thespian myself, I truly appreciated this Black Box theater and even more so when Peter explained to us that he had the full set brought in and created his lighting and sound effects/timing himself. Talk about a one-man show! That is NOT easy and takes skill, patience and precision, amazing. Onto the show. I can't even wrap up my thoughts fully on the show because I'd love to go over each illusion and why I loved it, but that's not happening lol. But what a show! Peter truly left us all gasping, laughing and so wrapped up in what was coming next. I loved how he wove in personal stories from his life, telling us more about why the particular illusion was special to him, etc. When he brought guests on stage, he truly connected with them and with us all at once. Just a few tricks were ones we may have seen before (but never in Peter-style!!) but the majority of them were ones that I feel like I had never seen, making them even more exciting. Hearing from Peter about who he inspired him to master an illusion and how long it can take to master them made me even more appreciative of each new exciting moment. This is truly a show that shouldn't be missed and I hope that more folks catch up soon because Peter is truly offering up a 5-star experience!

When your BESTIE visits from Boston, you take him to a magic show instead of the SEC Championship game

It was a wonderful night with a very talented magician. Peter pulled us into the show in the lobby with some walking tricks that were quite incredible! The actual show was top notch and simply magical - a mix of classic tricks and some illusion. Especially, loved the audience participation elements of the show. Entertainment for the whole family -you won't be disappointed with a night at AMT

Date Night With The Wife And This Magician!
Andrew N.

Was trying to figure out something to do for date night with the wife instead of the usual dinner and a movie. I found the Atlanta Magic theater on Yelp and was intrigued on how it could have a 5 star rating. I'll be honest, I didn't have high expectations for the magic show and my wife was surprised I suggested it for date night. Well I can now confirm that I agree that Peter deserves 5 stars. He was very personable, charismatic and talented in his craft of magic. He remembered peoples names from the audience, had a genuine curiosity for the people's story and background that would be tied into his show. I'm still scratching my head on the magic tricks that he did and we had an awesome date night that will be remembered forever. Thanks for an amazing evening Peter! PS. Eat Before You Come Here Or At Ruth Chris. Come Early As Parking Can Be Tricky If Valet Is Full.

Talk about a fun filled show! I can't believe I've been in ATL this long and had never been. THANK YOU Peter!

It's about time for an updated review. I've come here many times over the years, bc I love the wit…read moreand random humor that comes from Improv. This place is certainly a must visit! I came here with my best friends to celebrate my birthday, my friend's birthday, my other friends newly published devotional and my other friend's promotion at work. This was probably my 4th time here. Parking is behind the building and they have a ton of spots with gravel parking and paved (directions might lead you to the front). The lobby has two rooms, with comfy seating, restrooms, bar (beer and wine), ticket area and a place to take group photos. Things have changed on seating here due to Covid but for the better. You can now buy a table for two, table for 4 and VIP seating. Cost ranges from $70-$90, but comes out to about $20-$45/person. Any table purchase you make comes with all the tickets. Most shows are about an hour and a half long, with one intermission for you to use the bathroom or grab drinks. A majority of the improv depends on participation from the audience, so be ready to give direction on what the skit will be like. One of the best portions of the show was when my friend Keni got asked about her Hot Air Balloon she did recently, and the Improv Actors did a "fortunately, unfortunately" sketch on it. One of the funniest things I've seen. It's always a great time when you go, and you're going to get something fairly new and unexpected every time. Some actors are much more entertaining too, as they can create comedy out of thin air. They also hold Improv classes for adults and work with children too (the host mentioned something Nickelodeon themed). Highly recommend! This was purely a friends outing, but this spot is perfect for dates too or any type of celebration.

Went on Thurs which is free for women and LGBTQIA+ people. Was asked a question before the show,…read moreanswers gathered by a staff member. There was also a bucket next to a question for written answers. Once the show started, saw some improv games I've never seen before, actors / actresses were pretty good. Show was pretty long, 1 hr and then a break before finishing. It was all short-form and I wanted to watch some long form, so I left during the break. Was a decent show!

There was an undeniable stench of marijuana throughout the place upon our entry and a puddle of water on the stairs leading to the basement. The bar is also located downstairs next to the room with the stage. There are a few tables scattered throughout but mostly stand alone chairs. There were about 8 comics total, ranging from funny to raunchy. Some I could relate to, some very hard to understand due to ghetto accents and slang. Overall not a bad show but we would have not ended up here if laughing skull hasn't sold out. Don't sit out front if you don't want to be picked on/made fun of.

I took a class here at Automatic Improv, and to say I felt immediately part of the family is an understatement. They are classy, funny, smart and entrepreneurial as somewhat of an upstart in Atlanta's improv field. During my graduation show I got to do a scene with Kevin where we were bouncers from New Jersey. THAT was a dream come true. ;) Follow the news on this company because they're gonna come back meaner, leaner and stronger than ever very soon.

I have not been to underground in about 10 years but when one of your favorite comedians comes into…read moretown you have to just make that trip! Let's get into this review! Parking: There are some parking lots in the area and then some on street parking (but limited). We parked in a garage, smells like piss, and sewer water. AND literal bums using the floors levels as their bedrooms. It's Atlanta what can I say! If you aren't familiar with the underground - it's a section of plaza like stores 5 floors down. The elevators don't work so you'll have to walk down and walk back up! The comedy club is on the lowest level. Staff: They are good at moving people out of your seat if they are sitting in the wrong seat but that's about it. Your table server never comes back - they want payment upfront and they don't bring you everything you order. I was thirsty almost the entire time. I personally think it's crazy not to bring people out waters as a courtesy first! They pack you like sardines. It was so tight you can barely turn around. Like a literal can of sardines I felt like. The seating is much tighter than it shows for the online seating chart so just know to pick whatever seat you want. The food was okay! Nothing spectacular and I did not order a drink. One other thing to note, with that being my first time - I had no clue where the bathroom was. It just wasn't present and wasn't obvious! They also have a sign on the door that says there's a "2 item minimum purchase or a $15 surcharge". How dare you force me to buy some of your food and I don't even know if I want to? Then they say stuff like take care of your folks in the underground! I am not a fan of "supporting black business just because it's black". Please have decent customer service and a great experience! That's how you get love and support - my opinion. Of course the performer was the best part so the 1 star is for her. She even made jokes about the decor lol! Her intro comedians were extremely funny as well. May come again but I'm just not sure. I still am in shock of the overall experience. Lol

Good time tonight! Great comedy and company. I ordered the fruit punch which reminded me of an…read morealcoholic beverage but was actually virgin. The vegetable pasta was really nice and the kitchen comped the added mushrooms. A lot of vegetables and less noodle but it was very filling! Parking is a little difficult to navigate and understand. It is paid where ever you decide to put your car. Also, don't come too early or you'll be waiting outside watching them set up. I may return (but more likely to the Norcross location).

Did you know Family Feud is filmed in Atlanta? I didn't either until one of my friend's families…read moreauditioned and got selected to be on the show. As a perk for being on the show, he was allowed to return to future tapings of the show as a "priority guest" and bring friends with him. No tickets required. So last Saturday, we went to the Atlanta Civic Center, where the show is currently being filmed, and were able to sit on the front row. It felt like being in NY or SoCal, but we were on Piedmont Ave. in downtown Atlanta. In short, the experience was awesome. Just a whole lot of fun. I've never been in a game show audience before and I didn't realize how energetic and participative one has to be to be in the audience, especially down in the "pit," the section closest to the stage (and most likely to be on TV). Family Feud is currently hosted by comedian Steve Harvey. It's my understanding that the show is filmed in Atlanta because of him. He carries a lot of clout. On the set, not a second of his time is wasted. If he's not hosting the show, he's interacting with the crowd, posing for photographs with contestants, talking to production assistants, etc. Whenever filming stops, there are always at least 1-2 people by his side, ready with a bottle of water, his next set of cards with questions, makeup, etc. He is definitely the one that runs the show. On that note, during back-and-forth banter with the crowd during one of the commercial breaks, Steve asked the audience what their favorite restaurant in Atlanta was. Someone said Marlow's Tavern. WTF? I said Bacchanalia. As soon as I said it, Steve stopped what he was saying and said, "Who said Bacchanalia?" I raised my hand and he looked at me. Then he silently walked over to me, stopped in front of me, said "My man!," and extended his hand over the stage so I could shake it. He then went on to talk about his experience meeting his wife for dinner at Bacchanalia, making fun of its odd location inside Star Provisions. He asked me what I did for a living and I said, "Engineer." Then he made some smart remark which caused the audience to laugh and then went on to describe the menu and how he didn't know what anything was on the menu. That was pretty cool, but that wasn't the end of my interactions with Mr. Harvey. In the subsequent taping, he fielded questions. I raised my hand and he picked me again. I asked him what his favorite NBA team was and he responded the Miami Heat and "Oklahoma Thunder." What fairweather answers, but safe I suppose. I snuck in another question and asked him if he's met LeBron James and he said he has, citing their mutual roots in Cleveland, Ohio. Makes sense. Before the taping, I knew who Steve Harvey was, but I didn't realize how engaging and comedic of an entertainer he was. The man can talk and he is funny. He could talk his way out of a paper bag. Four episodes were filmed that day. Before each episode, Steve changed his suit and tie. I got to see one family win five "days" in a row (the Grace family from Illinois), which meant they won a new car (a Ford Edge SUV). Before the taping of their fifth appearance on the show, they did a small rehearsal of how they would run to the car and celebrate winning it. That way, if they actually did win the car (which they did), they could plan out where everybody would sit/stand in and around the car. Pretty funny. It's stuff like that you don't think about watching on TV from home. It was interesting to see what goes on when the cameras aren't rolling. Makeup people are blotting off sweat from contestants, reapplying makeup, production assistants are reminding/instructing families of what's to come, an MC/motivator comes on stage to rile up and excite the audience, etc. The audience was specifically told to clap a lot. By "a lot," I mean at everything. We had to clap after every answer, even if it was a terrible answer. Example: Survey: Name something you associate with a camel. Contestant Answer: A spaceship! Audience: *cheerful applause* When an answer wasn't on the board and a team received a strike, we had to say, "Awwww!!" When answers that weren't guessed were revealed on the board, we had to read them out loud. One of the families that competed was the local McNulty family. They were led by brother Tommy (DJ at 99x and Atlanta Braves PA announcer) and his four sisters. At the end of their episode taping, they had to re-record Tommy saying an answer into his microphone, presumably to be dubbed over his live recording. I sat through three tapings which took I estimate 4-5 hours. By the end of the third taping, I was drained and had enough Family Feud for the day. I was Family Feuded out. If you're looking for something free and fun to do in Atlanta, I highly recommend attending a taping of Family Feud. It's free to be an audience member. Visit Family Feud's web site for details. The show is filmed in Atlanta every summer.

We had free tickets for the 3 pm taping. When you arrive, the check through process can be a bit…read moreover the top but I understand that. My major grip with them is the hospitality. We arrived around 2:30 and was there until 9:00 pm for the taping of 2 shows. Not even a cracker was provided to eat! Cheap, ghetto and classless is what I call it! There is not even a vending machine. I never saw on any correspondence that taping would be that long and nothing to snack on available. Tyler Perry, Steve Harvey and Family Feud bring in toooo much money for not even a small pack of peanut butter crackers, a granola bar or even a 25 cent bag of chips to be served!!! I was totally disgusted and turned off by this because although it was a free taping----you wouldn't be able to do it without a live audience!! A little bit of appreciation for 7-8 hours of your time would have been nice. The staff seemed mean, over worked and underpaid. No smiles other than the production manager who had a curly natural fro ponytail. There was a heavyset black guy with a black winter beanie cap on that told my daughter the Smart Pop popcorn was for people who were there all day.! Well wtf do you call 2-9pm. Then to make matters worst, the staff and family members of the contestants are hot lunches in our faces. It was so classless! Steve Harvey and the hype man were so cool though and really provide for lots of laughs. Steve even left us on a spiritual note. He is definitely a natural comedian and speaker. Now that was a 5 star experience! Just Steve, hypeman, music, and the show itself 5 stars! The production company and the professionalism and hospitality of this place is a 3 and that's being nice. Overall, moving forward I would not recommend spending your precious off day setting around starving all day to see the show. I'll just watch from home but should you happen to read my review and go------ Eat a heavy meal before hand bc these cheap ass folks will not even provide a saltine cracker. If times are that hard they should just stop taping. I went to a few live taping and they at least provide light snacks via vending machine or free lay out. Despicable and changed the way I look at Tyler Perry Studios. Production company needs to get it together. Would never return and don't recommend!
