    Andrew the star of the show.

    Great show, small venue, intimate Setting, mind blowing act. This word of mouth gem of a show entertained a generation of family members, with many who return time and time again. It is a perfect night out in a hidden corner of San Francisco. Andrew is a magician, mentalist and fantastic entertainer!

    I've gone to the Magic Patio shows from before the pandemic to just this month. I no longer live in San Francisco, but I try to catch a show whenever I'm back. Andrew is a wonderful magician. He's a great entertainer in general. There were funny moments and heartfelt moments, and his shows always have a nice narrative flow. The actual magic stuff is great too. The decor of the theater has a lot of love in it. He and his crew have built most of it. There's a lot of custom carpentry. Bathrooms: Clean, well-decorated, but there's only one, so come early if you want to use it before the show starts.

    Wow, what a fun show!! Andrew kept out jaws on the floor all night with all of his tricks! This is a must do if you are in the city visiting, looking for a fun date night idea or if you just want to see some really cool magic tricks! Definitely will be back!

    Everything about this place was magical, from the not-so-secret location on Mission Street to the amazing showmanship of Andrew Evans, with the quirky and inviting decor and lighting in the venue adding a nice touch. It was everything I expected and more. Some of the illusions were typical acts commonly performed by magicians, like cutting the rope, teleportation, and mentalism tricks involving the crowd. But I was blown away by the mysterious act pouring different drinks out of a milk carton. And I'm easily entertained regardless, so even the old tricks never really get old, especially when the magician is a talented performer who knows how to engage the audience, adding a bit of comedy too. The Magic Patio is perfect for date night, the warm ambience in this intimate space and captivating performance on stage will definitely put you in a good mood, wanting more. It's no wonder the tickets for this show seem to sell out weeks in advance. Just don't forget to bring your own refreshments as there are no drinks for sale on site.

    BYOB with glasses and openers provided.

    Absolutely everything! Andrew is truly a gifted performer and magician! Jaw dropping, mouth open, how the H did he do that kind of evening for a full fun packed 90 minutes. Venue in Bernal Heights on Mission was intimate (~60 people) and conveniently located close to many neighborhood restaurants for a bite before or after the show! One stop fun filled evening in SF! I can't recommend enough!

    A hidden gem experience right in the middle of San Francisco! This speakeasy like magic show really impressed me considering I had no expectations. Shows are on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Fri and Sat shows done by Andrew. The space and show are very kid friendly! Andrew is a real performer and involves the audience in every single trick. I've been to quite a few magic shows including the Magic Castle. While not all the tricks were mind blowing, Andrew's energy and performance really made the show for me. This is perfect for new magic enthusiasts or a special night out. Tips: - The space is relatively small so tickets ($40-50) can sell out! Buy with your friends all at once to avoid this. - No reserved seating so show up early if you'd like to be closer to the front and sit with your party. - This place is BYOB! They provide cups in the back, but there's nowhere to place drinks when seated so we just had to be careful and placed them on the floor. - The location is all street parking and very close to Mitchell's Ice Cream for that post-show treat.

The party started a little later than normal, with friends rolling in, and Mr SHAP took everything in stride. Without any prompting or interruptions to the hosts, he quickly adjusted to balloon twisting first and then doing his magic show towards the end of his time with us (vs. the original plan of doing the magic show first). I really appreciated that he read the room, took initiative, and still delivered exactly what we had agreed to. Friends came up to say how great he was! He also was incredibly efficient with setting up and breaking down, and everyone loved his energy and his magic!

From the…read moremoment he arrived, he had the kids completely engaged and, just as impressively, the parents too! He managed a large, energetic group of kindergarteners with ease, keeping everyone laughing, focused, and excited throughout the entire show. His magic was age-appropriate, interactive and surprising, with lots of opportunities for kids to participate. The energy in the room never dipped, and the smiles were constant. Several parents came up to us afterward to comment on how great he was, which says a lot. Mr. Shap is professional and clearly very experienced with young children. We couldn't have asked for a better entertainer and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone planning a kids' party.

    My best friend hired Boswick to perform at her daughter's 3rd birthday party at Dolores Park, and…read morehe was fantastic! First, Boswick is a true professional. It was a very hot day, and all the kids were originally seated facing the sun, before starting his show, he had the parents turn the children around so they wouldn't be staring into the sunlight. That spoke volumes about his experience. Boswick had so many tricks up his sleeve and kept the kids engaged and laughing throughout. The birthday girl (as is perfectly appropriate for her age!) wandered off midway through, but the older kids were totally captivated the entire time. When the balloon-making began, she came right back, a perfect ending to the performance. Even the adults were entertained! Boswick effortlessly switches between engaging 3-year-olds, 7-year-olds, and adults alike with his humor and charm. As a teacher, I really appreciated his ability to manage a crowd and keep everyone entertained. Other nearby parties had a jump house and a traveling petting zoo with a runaway turtle, but Boswick was by far the highlight of the park. Overall, we were impressed. I would recommend Boswick for any kids' event.

Thanks for the awesome show last year!!

Even though the kids were pretty rowdy and full of energy, Skip handled everything with so much patience and creativity. I couldn't even keep them calm myself, but Skip managed to engage and contain the group perfectly. My daughter tends to get anxious when there's a lot of noise and movement, but Skip was so attentive and made sure she had her space and could still enjoy the show. It really meant a lot to me that my daughter felt comfortable enough to laugh, smile, and participate at her own pace. The face painting was beautiful, the show was fun and engaging, and there were plenty of giggles all around. Some of the adults could've done a better job respecting the show, but Skip stayed professional and kept things going smoothly. I truly appreciate that level of patience and skill. I'll definitely book again in the future,maybe something smaller next time with one or two of my daughter's friends so she can interact more. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend Dream Top Entertainment!
