For $10 and a 30 minute show this was a pretty good deal. I wish the show was slightly a little longer maybe 45 minutes to do one or two more magic tricks. But, the entertainment was very enjoyable by magician Jofe who was amazing. He involved our group in mostly ever act and was a real crowd pleaser. The event stages were nice kept, no clutter, no mess but very neatly kept. Magician Jofe exhibited 5 different magic tricks and at the end gave us all a card to learn how to count numbers and try this in our friends. I would definitely return to see another show. read more

I was there with my family to see Jafo and Keith Kong and we were absolutely amazed! We talked about it for days, wondering how the magic was done. I wasn't sure what to expect but the small parlor was amazing, to have the magic happening within a few feet of where you are sitting adds so much more to the show than sitting with a huge audience. $10 for a 30 minute show is an amazing value, especially in Orlando, where it can cost an arm and a leg to take the family out to do anything. I can't recommend The Great Magic Hall highly enough and plan to stop in again to be amazed! read more

Recently visited this show on a whim on a weekday and wasn't sure what to expect. To be completely honest, it was such a great experience! The show we saw was approximately 35 min and well worth the price point of the $10 admission. Nathan was the magician that night. His performance was polished and entertaining. We left still wondering how he did many of those tricks. As a local, I rarely visit Old Town, but if you want something fun to do, have a little laugh and have your mind blown, definitely see this show. You won't be disappointed:) read more

The Great Magic Hall - One of 5 stages:) - Performing Arts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Showtimes are 7 days a week at 3,5,7,and 9PM. It's $10/pp. Shows are entertaining and about 45 min from start to finish. I love the different vibes in the 5 different theatre rooms. JAFO is entertaining and a consummate illusionist and speaker. The visuals and interior design are captivating. If you're looking for local INEXPENSIVE entertainment other than theme parks, check this show out!!! In OLD TOWN in a 2-story black building. Arrive early to find parking seriously. read more

This may have been the best sleight of hand show I have had the pleasure of witnessing. It started with excellent coin magic the venue is interesting in that one moves fron one stage / room to another to see different acts. For me, it was all performed by the same magician, Jafo, and all were very different. It is the first time I have seen sleight of hand with billiard balls! All said, this is a top shelf act in an unlikely spot. Don't miss this amazing show! read more

I thought this might be a nice thing to see during my wife's birthday weekend, I was skeptical that it might be cheesy or at least not that impressive. Well I was wrong, it's actually like three shows in different rooms and the majic show you get is legit! I left there wondering how the different tricks were done because the talent was so good, these guys are professionals with no doubt, don't hesitate to see the show if you are in the vicinity.

I saw Jimmy Rook at the Magic Hall. He was AMAZING! My daughter even got to be a volunteer. She's been talking about it non stop. Jimmy was both talented and hilarious. Truly a great magic show. The atmosphere of the show was also really cool. 5/5 would recommend Jimmy Rook to everyone. read more

Super fun, high-quality magic show at a great price. My boyfriend and I are performers and see a lot of magic, and honestly this was the most enjoyable and entertaining we've seen in a while. Terry Ward walks you through the Hall and performs several sets, all of them top-notch. He's a very skilled performer and very entertaining; I highly recommend! read more

This place was so much fun! We ended up getting the V.I.P. Package which is so affordable especially in Orlando where everything is over priced. I'm so happy we got the vip because we got to see two different magicians & both of them had very different tricks/styles. They were both FANTASTIC. Me and my boyfriend actually went home and ordered a beginners magic card game book because of this show, & are looking into some of their classes they offer. Also just to mention being so close to the magicians, we were watching their every move and STILL left clueless on how they pulled these tricks off. Def fun for all ages. read more

This is a unique experience to see a magician perform his craft close up in an intimate setting, with only about 20 other spectators. Jason Fields (Jafo) was the performer we saw, and he was truly amazing. There were several tricks performed in a half hour show. I thought it was a great value for the money considering how close you can see and the level of skill demonstrated. read more

Very funny, interactive show. Very talented magicians. Impressive magic tricks. Highly recommend

This place is a gem! We randomly googled kids activities and happened upon this place which had great reviews, we were not let down. The show blew my mind. Magic tricks were insane - such high quality. Our magician was Terry Ward who was experienced and personable. The entire audience was engaged throughout the show which gave it a more intimate feel. The atmosphere was perfect, my kids really loved it and so did I! Totally worth a stop on your next visit. Also, the cost was incredibly reasonable IMO read more

A hidden Kissimmee gem! My boyfriend and I have been here on two occasions with two different magicians (Jafo and Terry) and thoroughly enjoyed both shows. The venue is smaller, making performances more intimate, and the magicians know their stuff backwards and forwards. Outstanding showmanship and ability to banter with their audience. The theatre has the feel of a classic magic show, with large vintage-inspired magician posters and Victorian decor. Honestly, I feel like I can't praise it enough. Just go see it. Only $10 and worth every penny! read more

Unbelievable price for this level of magic! The shows are great and the magicians are world class. Take a little time from your busy schedule to go to this little gem of a theater, and get the VIP package! read more

Great family fun. Excellent performer, engaged with audience at all age levels. Everyone enjoyed it, age did not matter.

Fantastic magic. Up close and unbelievable. Fun and impossible. You will be involved in the best ways possible. The magicians are world class And have been on TV including On Penn & Teller: Fool Us! Be prepared... You will be fooled! And you will love it - All !!! Promise ! read more

The Great Magic Hall - World Class Magicians ! - Performing Arts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

My cousins and I stumbled upon The Great Magic Hall walking through Old Town. My cousin is interested in learning more about magic, and pulled us in. Initially I was skeptical, but once Jafo started the carousel style magic show I was instantly impressed. Jafo engaged the audience as we moved through the different rooms (about 4). I had an amazing time, it was well worth it. If you visit Old Town this is definitely a MUST! read more

The show is a bit cheesy but worth the $10 ticket and a quick pop-in. If you're around Olde Town and need to keep the kids busy it's a good stop. read more

We saw Jafo in a close up act. Well done. Even my 3 year old had a great time. Well worth the money and time. read more

went by there today and the place is closed. Doors locked, posters gone, no sign as to what happened

Great value, family friendly entertainment! Magician was funny and engaging and the magic was very impressive!

This was a really awesome experience! Really cool concept with multiple rooms for different types of magic. Our magician was Terry, and he was really awesome! (: He was incredibly engaging with the audience and had us laughing the whole time! I can't wait to come back and bring more of my friends. Really great experience and such an awesome price. (Admission was only $10!) Thank you Terry! read more

Okay, full disclosure, I'm a closet magic nerd and I love a good solid mix and match of magic. Give me card tricks and I'm happy, show me some sleight of hand and I'm giggly. Combine both of those with a tour of a magic shop and a couple of stage presentations and I've found my inner child's happy place. Yes, a tour of a magic shop. Stefan, a skilled magician and fun entertainer, presented a great showing of mixed magic while giving us a tour of the different types of magic sold at The Great Magic Hall. Now do not worry he never revealed his secrets. We went in to see the show and a great show is exactly what we got. read more

Visited Friday June 29th for the 3pm show because my son loves magic and this seemed like a good deal. Turns out it was way way better because Jafo, the magician on the Penn and Teller show was the performer. Also fair to say he is a magic historian and Craftsman because he shared so much knowledge and his level of execution was perfect. We sat within a few feet of his performance and audience participation was included on every trick, my son was blown away as was I. He did the same 4 coin into the cup trick from the Penn and Teller show and added an additional element. If you like magic or want to see your kids faces go OMG for a very reasonable price then regardless of weather in Orlando, GO to The Great Magic Hall and spend an hour with Jafo. So good and way worth it. read more

A great deal for an up close personal magic show! The magicians were entertaining and fabulous with a sleight of hand. Took home 3 boxed classes to practice at home! read more

I am a huge fan of magic, having watched literally hundreds of shows around the country as well as online during COVID. I was pleasantly surprised to find the Great Magic Hall in "Old Town", Orlando FL. First of all, it is a beautiful and surprisingly large space. It doesn't have any of the cheap "joke shop" qualities you often find associated with magic venues, rather it is filled with actual artifacts from magic history: magical props, historic furniture, a signed David Copperfield poster, classic books. The show formula is enchanting and cleverly conceived: about 40 minutes of every hour is dedicated to a magic show. First you start off in what's called a "parlor" setting, and you intimate, stand up magic from one of the magicians performing. Then you move into the closeup gallery, typically filled with coin and card magic performed right under your gaze, inches to feet away. You then move to a stage setting where you see "bigger" magic, involving illusions or mentalism. The show "tour" culminates in an exhibition hall where you have the opportunity to see magic that you can actually take home with you and learn, if you decide you want to embark down the path to becoming a magician yourself. On the way out, everyone is given a simple but fooling trick to learn as a gift. And after all this, 20 minutes later, it all starts again with another round of shows -- VIP tickets (only $20!!!) get you into a new show by a second magician, plus some free snacks and drinks. Like Old Town itself, the Great Magic Hall experience is quirky, nostalgic, and really fun. The two shows I watched presented amazing magic performed by experienced magicians. "Jafo" has done 40,000 shows at Universal and has appeared on Penn and Teller, TV's top magic show. His magic is nuanced and artful, with deceptive sleight of hand and one or two truly unique pieces that I've never seen another magician perform (and I've seen so many shows, that's saying something!) Stefan Oswald was energetic, engaging, and personable. In both shows, the audience was laughing and having a good time. There were also multiple moments of "level 3" surprise when a spectator saw the impossible happen and couldn't help but react verbally and physically to the shocking moment. In short, if you're a magic enthusiast or just looking for a unique and entertaining date night or family outing, I cannot recommend The Great Magic Hall enough. It's a true treasure that deserves to be cherished and celebrated. Trust me, you won't regret it! read more

Up close and personal magic show! It was awesome! Will go again and bring friends on our next trip to Orlando. You can't beat the entertainment value! Fun for all ages! read more

Good, solid magic fun. The magician the day I went had been on Fool Us and closed with the truck he did on that show. He also handled the inebriated folks in the audience well. I would give this 5 stars if you're someone who is a casual fan of magic who doesn't go to shows a lot. I'm a bit of a magic "snob" I suppose and would give it4 stars for someone like me. The tricks were all very broad, aimed at the kind of audience that comes to a place like this. I like tricks with drawn-out stories (and a slightly longer show). Regardless, a good time to be found here. read more

Had booked tickets for my twin 5 year olds and myself and couldn't make it one week and they made it super easy to just show up the next week. The boys got front row seats and they absolutely loved it, a few days later they are still talking about Jafo. Jafo was utmost excellent, funny, engaging and managed to adapt to us as the audience and the younger dudes. I would recommend this for kids as well as coming here with a few friends after a few beers as he really is funny and his tricks are legit! Will also recommend to any friends coming from out of town! read more

This is a great close up magic show for an amazing price! My wife and I were just walking around Old Town and came upon the place. Made our night. read more

This is definitely a must-do if you like magic and find yourself in the area of Old Town in Kissimmee, Florida. Not only was the magic really good, but the magician was so entertaining! Funny guy! All four of us in our party enjoyed it and were so happy we decided to do it after so many times passing by it and being curious about the place. Great experience all around for all ages. read more

What a fun time! Jafo did an excellent job work close magic. It is the reason to stop at "Old Town". He was great with the kids and adults. Found him funny. He was even on Penn + Teller! Impressive! Thank you, soon. read more

We had such a great time here seeing Jafo! His show was wildly entertaining with some of the most impressive magic I've ever seen. One of the best parts was how he engaged with the audience since it is a smaller and more intimate venue. I definitely felt transported to a different time and place during the show, and totally forgot I was in the middle of busy Orlando by the time it was done! Will definitely be coming by for more shows and recommend you do too! read more

What and amazing magic show. He was able to engage with the audience. What an amazing experienced. I will absolutely bring rest of my kids to see the magic show again. We will fly back from Dallas Tx to see the best magic ‼ read more

If we could give this 100 stars we would... It was a totally random and last minute decision to go and we are SO GLAD WE STUMBLED IN. Practically had to be dragged out in fact. Jafo is a complete professional. This is no amateur sideshow. You must go to this magic show. You will be dumbfounded. The "think of a card" trick then he unfurls a deck and the one card that is turned over in it is the one you imagined IS MIND BLOWING. Loved this show!!! read more

My grandson and I came upon the Magic Hall when we were visiting Old Town. We took the tour and the guide was very enthusiastic and kind, we purchased the Wonder dust kit and spent a grand night learning how to create an illusion. We went back for the show the next night and met Jafo. An absolutely wonderful magician and performer. Someone who truely loves his craft, he educated us on different times in history as well as different types of magic. My granson enjoyed being involved in the show and I enjoyed the jokes as well as the ...magic! So worth the price of admission. The kits they sell are easy to follow, even for an 8 year old and a grandma! A great show for all ages. read more

One of the best magic show I've seen and for just 15 minutes you can't go wrong. Jafo was our magician and was a great performer, super friendly and knowledgeable of almost everything magic. Jafo was straight up amazing no cap! Even my friend who knows magic was blown away by his tricks. 10/10 would recommend to everyone who visits old town in Kissimmee to go see his shows! read more

Thank you Jafo for such an entertaining show! He was seriously funny and very talented. Fun night. Clean humor with just enough zing.

Just left this unique, fun, top quality magic experience unlike anything I have been to in my 50+ years of magic. Attillio, the proprietor and guide through the history and techniques of prestidigitation does an amazing job moving his group of "students" ( that's the audience ) from room to room, of this theater experience all the while performing amazing parlor, close up and stage magic perfected by the obviously thousands of performances he has given. His display of magic props and paraphernalia is one if the largest and most diverse I have ever seen. This is a one of a kind experience for kids of all ages from 5 - 105 and will give you an excellent feel for all the different styles of magic through the ages. Highly recommended for the lay public as well as theatrical fans of all genres. Congratulations to Attillio for keeping the ancient art of magic alive and looking good! read more

Came here because of the good reviews and my son and husband are magic fans. It's a small magic shop that has several rooms in an old quaint building. The whole show is about 45 mins long and Stefan takes you through different rooms and show you different magic tricks. Some tricks are pretty standard and other tricks are pretty cool. My kids enjoyed the show. By the way, the show is recommended for kids ages 5 and up. The rooms were pretty small fit about 20 people. If you are around Orlando, you should definitely come check it out. Stefan was great! read more
