Dickens Parlour Theatre

Had reasonable hopes and it was better than expected. Kevin Bethea was superb - every trick absolutely amazed us and he was a true entertainer! We laughed, we smiled, we scratched our heads. It was simultaneously more local/intimate and professional than we’d expected - the best of both worlds. We got there about 45 minutes prior to the show and had a drink in the parlour before getting admitted to the intimate theater. Rick, the owner, stopped at our table to welcome us to the venue and to invite us to a post-show show in the parlour he did for 15 minutes (also amazing). For someone with hood background (look him up), he was so humble and personable…and a great magician. But Kevin was the star of the show and his hour + was worth every penny. Rich’s post-show show was the icing on the cake. We’ll be back.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a magic show and dinner event, and I must say it was a truly magical experience! From the moment I arrived, the service was impeccable. The server was friendly, attentive, and made sure our dining experience was top-notch for my Dad’s 70th birthday. The dinner itself was delicious! But the highlight of the evening was, of course, the magic show. The performance was captivating, with mind-bending illusions. The magician was not only incredibly skilled, but also had a charismatic stage presence that drew everyone in. The show was well-paced, with a perfect blend of humor, suspense, and excitement. What made the experience even more special was when the owner of the venue surprised us with a mini magic show after the main performance. His passion for magic was evident, and he added a personal touch to the evening, and creating a memorable experience. Overall, I would rate this magic show and dinner event as a 5-star experience. The dinner was great, the server was fantastic, the show was amazing, and the owner's mini magic show was a delightful bonus. I would highly recommend this venue for a unique and memorable night out!

I have to say I was disappointed in the performance by Jon Stetson. I believe he connected with a few people in the audience and then he had a selling pitch on his crystals, crystal balls, thumb drives, books and sessions of $125 if you booked today. I think it would have been a much better presentation if he had everything typed up and briefly touched on his contributions to wounded warriors and furry friends at the end of the presentation instead of an infomercial in the middle interrupting one's thought pattern.
