Speakeasy Magick

Pricey? Yes. Worth it? Yes. Is magic real? YES!

We were looking for a show to attend, and the Broadway options were not hitting the mark. We are so thankful we went with Speakeasy Magick as it was AMAAAAZING! Days later, we're still talking about it and wondering how they pulled off all those tricks!

Pro tip: Although there are multiple time slots to purchase tickets, there are truly only 2 showings, one for dinner (8pm) and one late-night (11pm). For example, when we booked, the website showed 10:15pm, 10:30pm, and 10:45pm. Everyone starts at the Overlook Bar, then you receive a ticket and directions through the "dry cleaners" next door to the actual venue space. The extra time is to relax and order drinks, the actual show began at 11. You're seated at long tables (think poker tables) and can order drinks throughout the night.

There is a host/MC for the night who does some jokes and tricks for the entire crowd on stage. Then individual magicians come to your table for their act -- you interact with them up close and personal, and truly get to be part of the experience. It makes the magic even more mesmerizing and jaw dropping as you're watching them so closely and have no idea how they pull things off. Something in your hand will somehow transform right before your eyes?!? They were all incredible! We were smiling and amazed all night long!

Other than the host, there were 7 magicians that night, and 5 came to our table. I think this is part of the appeal to return, as you don't know what will be performed on a particular night, and I would be thrilled to do so! It is worth every penny and you will leave believing in MAGIC!

What a cool experience. The magic was great although some of it was repetitive. I was told it really depends on the night. I wouldn't think twice about going back but be warned this is a very expensive night out.

You get seated at a table with strangers and the experience definitely can be better or worse depending on who you are with.

The emcee was ehh. His act was by far the slowest part of the show.

Wow! This is the best show in NYC! This is a classic hidden speakeasy. The show features close-up magic from a rotating cast of magicians. They move from table to table over the course of the evening performing outstanding close up magic.

Best of all is emcee Todd Robbins! The heck with the magic just go and enjoy his act! He is a witty and erudite master of magical ceremonies.

Double highly recommend.

Absolutely incredible! The setting is very intimate and the magicians are fantastic. They come to your table one at a time and they also have magicians on stage. They also have an excellent piano player. I would go back again because you don't get to see all of the magicians in one sitting.

REALLY CAN'T MISS. A wonderful sampler platter of amazing close-up magic - so many great card mechanics, so many "whaaaaaa?" moments. The best stuff happens at the table. The stage stuff is kinda stage-y, but when you get down to "where did that card/ball/olive/rabbit go?" there are some amazing, fun moments. We brought a group of 4 friends who loved it. (My wife & I had seen it before at the McKittrick. The only thing better at the McK is that the first magician starts as a "plant" at your table unannounced...we loved that surprise like "oh, there's someone among us!" instead of a "Reserved" sign that gave away who was the artist).

In short, though - highly recommend.

BTW - no photos...for obvious reasons! Sorry.

Things don't always appear as they seem. Or do they? This Speakeasy MagicK show in the Flatiron area of NYC delivered on so many levels.

Ever since I was a kid, I was always intrigued with magic and the art of illusion. My mom bought a magic set for me and I tried my best to recreate magic. At this show, your eyes won't believe the result of card and other tricks. My friend and I went last night and we're still thinking how did they do that.

I really don't want to give too much away, but after waiting at the bar for a while, groups were called to be seated next door at one of perhaps 15 or so tables. Each table included 10 guests and the magicians rotated to each table throughout the evening which lasted about 2 hours. We didn't meet all the magicians (a hint to return) but a fun time was had by all. We gasped and raised eyebrows at "tricks" that simply couldn't be explained.

The vibe was chill, sexy, speakeasy sultry and fun. Tiny bags of popcorn were arranged on each tables and servers came around to take drink orders. Note, there was no food on the menu so make sure to eat in advance.

Speakeasy Magick was a well executed event I'd highly recommend. If you like the art of magic, guessing and being amazed, then Speakeasy Magick will satisfy your craving for an excellent time.

So so so good! This review is purposefully light on details because I don't want to give too much away-- you just have to experience it. Overall, Speakeasy Magick is a unique, fun, and entertaining show with high quality, talented entertainers/magicians. The venue has dark, sexy, 1920s prohibition era vibes and the set up is interactive and intimate. It's definitely pricey, but worth every penny!

Such a cool, worthwhile experience in the city! I was impressed by each of the rotating magicians and the venue itself. Each of the tricks will leave you in awe and bewilderment and you will definitely be entertained. The drinks were great as well!

Captivating.
Mesmerizing.
Intoxicating.
Sheer awe inducing.

The best damn magic show, so much so, that I've seen it three times and anticipate going again. It's simply a feat for the senses and will leave you reliving every trick.

The fact that you see 6+ acts and most of them right at your table and they are having your participate is what's really special about this show. You aren't just the audience, you're part of so many on the tricks. It sucks you in and makes your mind bend in phenomenal ways. The best experience hands down!

I've been to only a handful of magic shows in the past, but it was always amateur and from afar.

This one was amazing, and I was mind blown and entertained all night long!

I loved the combination of speakeasy + magic. We were surprised by the entrance into the room where the performance took place (but won't spoil it for y'all). And then it was almost 1.5 hours of magic. The magicians made their rounds and performed, engaged and involved the audience of 10 at each individual table. Drinks and popcorn were available to the audience, no food however, but a decent liquor menu.

I think we saw about 5 magicians, and they also had a couple of magicians perform on stage.

Overall, the show was worth the $150 we paid per ticket and we walked away feeling lighthearted and satisfied with the evening (however a bit hungry).
