Broadway Magic Hour at Broadway Magic Hour: Magic Show

Broadway Magic Hour is New York City’s most popular family-friendly magic show, and an unforgettable live spectacle filled with wonder, comedy, and amazement -- is the ticket to a magical afternoon for people of all ages.

Presented at the Broadway Comedy Club in Times Square, this Off-Broadway style show has gained momentum, and today it’s something every parent, grandparent, kid, and anyone who enjoys live entertainment will love and appreciate.

It’s a magic show that combines age-old sleight-of-hand feats and grand illusion, comedy and mind-reading into an utterly satisfying hour of entertainment. Every show is packed with audience interaction -- children and grown-ups sharing the stage as part of the magic.

Imagine your kid's wide-eyed astonishment when they see a child from the audience float in midair, or the laughter that explodes when an apparently ‘burned up’ sneaker is magically restored.

These are not just tricks and illusions -- they are memories that you and your family will fondly remember long after the curtain is drawn.
