First off, you really can't beat the price. Your ticket includes a dinner buffet and magic show…read more What a deal! I suggest arriving early so you get first pick of the food. By the time we got to desserts, the ice cream bar was a bowl of soup. I honestly only came to eat. I couldn't find any pictures online of what kinds of food would be available. As far as taste, the food was ok, let's just say I didn't grab seconds. The good thing about the buffet, was that they was a little something of everything. Even the kids had their own line. The magician was funny, the show itself was cute. I've been to magic shows in Vegas and this is nothing like that. You get what you pay for. It's definitely would check it out, but I won't pay to see it again. It was one of those, once you see it, you're good. If you've seen this show before, I'd find something else to do on a Wednesday night. Overall, food was a 2/5 and show was a 4/5. That is why I'm giving a 3 star review.

Mike came as a strolling magician and delighted both kids and adults alike with his quick wit and slight of hand. I would recommend Mike Ching Magic for anyone that wanted that something extra for the whole family. It's very rare to find an entertainer that works for all ages. Mike Ching is that person.

Since then, I have been seeing his name all over town, and it seems just about everyone on the island has been hiring him to perform at their parties. He does those tricks that make you stand there with your mouth open for 5 minutes. I had a chance to talk to him and I was really impressed. Besides the fact that he made my fork disappear into thin air lol! He has been doing magic since he was 6 and he doesn't just do magic but designs sets and props, and is a total expert on how to dress like Santa which he takes very seriously. He said that it hurts a kids feelings if a Santa looks bad, so he always wants to make sure to be the BEST santa EVER! He also said it isn't that hard, that for $5 you can go to Longs and get what you need that it just takes a little effort. I just thought that was really cool that he cares about kids that much that it makes him mad to see BAD SANTAS lol. He was really upset when he talked about Santas who don't take pride in their appearance and character! I would definitely hire him for my kids party and actually would hire him to consult on any event I did because he knows just about everything there is to know about having an event in Hawaii and the vendors to hire etc. I think he could save you a lot of headaches and a small fortune if you hired him to consult on your event.

Writing in from New Jersey, and still thinking about this show!…read more From the moment you walk in, you're placed into this beautifully curated museum of oddities that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the evening. It's immersive, thoughtful, and has a little bit of history. Once inside the theater, the stage design continues that experience, reflecting King David's travels with what feels like carefully collected souvenirs from his travels around the world. I loved how the history was woven in so seamlessly. It actually sent me down a rabbit hole learning more about Hawaii's last monarch afterwards haha. The show itself? Phenomenal. Aki and Ken are not only incredibly skilled magicians; both masters of sleight of hand and parlor magic respectively, but also genuinely hilarious. Their chemistry carries the entire experience, and they stayed perfectly in theme with the Hawaiian Victorian atmosphere in the magic they performed. I won't spoil anything, but I will say I was left completely mind-blown. There were moments that genuinely didn't seem possible, and just when you think you've caught your breath, another reveal hits. It just kept building, which is the type of magic I really enjoy watching. The venue is intimate and seats about 60 guests. There truly isn't a bad one in the house. Being that close makes everything even more impressive because there are no trap doors, no mirrors, nothing to hide behind. The magic happens right in front of you, and somehow that makes it even harder to believe. They also do a great job with audience participation, which adds to the fun without ever feeling forced or awkward. The show does sell out, so definitely grab tickets ahead of time. It's absolutely worth it, and I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Honolulu!

Oh my goodness, buy the tickets!!! This show is amazing!!!!…read more I found it through some Google search I did when trying to find something fun for my family and I to do for my birthday. I thought it was some ad for a show in the mainland or a scam because I've never heard of it before nor have I ever seen the theatre it was in. My daughter is 7 and I thought, "She's never seen magic before. Maybe she'll like this." Totally forgot all about it then on my birthday was scrambling to figure out what to do for fun and Google slid it back in to my searches. The ticket prices aren't bad especially if you're local. They have a bundle that gets you 1 adult and 1 child ticket for $99. The tickets for the 3 of us came out to just about $200. The ticket includes validation for Valet parking and a rum punch cocktail. The drink must've been good because I turned around for a second and my husband tanked it. It's at Hilton Waikiki Beach on Kuhio across from the Alohilani Hotel (the old Pacific Beach). I'm glad I read my confirmation email well because I thought it was at Hilton Hawaiian Village. The parking for the hotel is only Valet. We went on a Monday night to the 7:30 show and Valet was gnarly, backed up into the street. Be aware of the time it can take to get your car valeted. The show is on the second floor. The line forms right above the main hotels entrance doors. Our plans got pushed back a bit so we were running late. We ended up far back in the line and sat in the 4th row. It really didn't matter though because you can see the action from everywhere. Our magician was Shoot Ogawa. I'm not gonna give away anything about his tricks because you should get that feeling in real time. He is UNREAL. UN. REAL. Even the tricks that were supposed to be "small" were mind blowing. It was awesome to unanimously have the crowd go "WHATTTTTT" and "HEYYYYY." I know I let out a couple WTF's. I know the adults in that room had to all be skeptics, so to equally be blown away feels comforting. Like ok I'm not crazy, this stuff is inexplicable!! While he does his tricks he also talks a lot about life, his journey, humanity. He talked a lot to the kids encouraging them. He talked about how negative opinions aren't yours too keep, and knowing your value is inside. IT WAS AMAZING!!! He was preaching and cracking jokes and magicianing all at the same time the ENTIRE show. They don't allow video recording, only photos which explains why I couldn't find ANYTHING worthwhile on YouTube. Honestly, after watching the show, I appreciated that. It made everything so much more entertaining. Afterwards, you can take pictures with him and they have some merchandise you can purchase. They have little magic kits available for purchase, so on the way home we were all trying to be magicians as we ran through all the tricks that absolutely BLEW OUR MINDS. Literally the most stressful part of the entire experience was the Valet parking and dealing with Waiks traffic at night. None of that though made this experience any less worth it. BUY THE TICKETS!!! You WON'T regret it!!!!

We had a great experience with Mr. O…read more It's so stressful planning a baby first birthday, but he made the entertainment easy. We booked his services about 4 months in advance and choose his GOLD package that included the magic show, walk around magic, ballon twisting, and the MC. We initially met at the venue and I put down a 50% deposit which is reasonable. I asked about the MC duties which the package included. He suggested a separate tip would be appreciated. Initially I thought that a bit strange, but trust me the MC he uses is PHENOMENAL. He has a true "radio voice" and was absolutely fantastic. All this guy must due must be events because the very next week we saw him at a graduation party manning a Photo Booth. Everyone loved the magic. It really puts a finishing touch on the party. The kids loved it. I heard from one of the parents their child was still talking about the show a week later. One thing that caught me completely off guard was the balloon twisting. I thought the poor guy might make a dozen balloons then be ignored. Not true. ADULTS WERE STANDING IN LINE FOR BALLOON TWISTING. Unreal. My friend's kid even took her ballon back to Hilo with her. All on all Mr. O and his pals are a PHENOMENAL value. In fact we spent $500 for a Photo Booth that only a few people used. I'd skip the Photo Booth any day and just book Mr. O

Later he gathered all kids and interacted with them. Having kids come up to win big balloons, he even included parents to participate with the kids. He does crack jokes during his "show" which has everyone cracking up. I love that he asked the party colors and the theme because his ballon prizes was shaped to match the theme of the party and the big ballon for the birthday person matched the colors for the parent to wear. I loved that he responded quickly and he actually followed up the week of the party to confirm everything. If baby #3 happens then of course we'd want Chris da Clown as an entertainer.

Attending a party that offered services for both face painting and balloon twisting. My view is…read moresolely for the balloon twisting. Terrible service from the balloon lady. Not sure what's her name, but she was an older Caucasian lady. They were there for about 3 hours or so and never once did I see a line to get a balloon. Probably because 1 of many reasons.... 1. I witnessed one of my nephews trying to get a balloon and he had to explain to the lady why he was getting another one. **he should not have to explain to the lady why he needs another balloon. The balloons are unlimited for 3 hours! There wasn't a line. The lady was just sitting there. 2. My friend told me that she had to help my other 5 year old nephew get a balloon because the balloon twister refused to help him since she was unable to make the balloon he wanted. She just so happened to be next to the vendor and heard her tell him to "go get your mommy". Instead of showing him the balloon folder of what she could make, she just refused to make him a balloon. My friend went over to help him pick one from the folder of pictures . **I don't understand why she couldn't just show him the balloon folder to begin with... maybe she just didn't want to deal with him. AGAIN, there was no line. ** 3. My daughter has a whole lot to say about the balloon lady. She kept saying how rude she was... In all honesty, I wasn't going to write a review about the rude balloon twister, but my daughter randomly brought it up again after 1 month. She said "remember that balloon twister lady... she said multiple times that she needs to save her balloons because she has other parties to go to"... **again, THERE WAS NEVER A LINE. She probably saved lots of balloons thanks to the fact that the host had so many vendors!!!! Save your money and go with another balloon twister! Face painter was good!

They arrived early to set up and immediately went to work and were cranking out balloons and face paints non stop for 2 hours and the kids kept getting back in line giving them no time to rest. They handled it like champs and I would recommend them to anyone.

Listen, we're grown adults celebrating our friend's daughter and if your friend tells you to get balloon hats, you get balloon hats. If the daughter tells aunty to get their face painted, we get our face painted. We wanted her to get her monies worth! Also, we sat right next to the table so it wasn't hard to make a request when there was no line. I don't even have kids but we had a fun time with them. I don't know the next time I'll ever need to book them but I do know they will be so worth it.
