The Champions of Magic are a team of five illusionists from all over the world who have come together to put on an exciting family friendly show & is currently touring around the US. We received the opportunity to go see them live last Friday when they played here in Phoenix, downtown at the Orpheum Theatre. Ticket prices range depending on the city they are visiting, I clicked on a few of the upcoming dates they are playing and tickets ranged from starting at $29.50 to starting at $40 a ticket so unfortunately I can not provide you with an exact price however I can offer you a discount code for 25% off ticket prices (valid up to two days prior to the show you want to see), that discount code is TRUST.
Before getting into our review & thoughts on the actual show, I just want to comment on how beautiful the theatre they performed at is. The Orpheum Theatre is nearly a hundred years old, it was built in 1929 & I had never been to it before now, the inside is stunning & the updated red velvet covered seats were comfortable for the duration of the show. The kids were very excited to go see this show as were we, it is always enjoyable being able to attend events like this that are great for the whole family.
We each had a different favorite part of the show & favorite performer. Each performer had stage time to do an act by themselves & then they had several acts where they worked together. The show had a great mixture of illusion acts, mentalist acts and escape acts. During certain acts members of the audience may be selected to come up & be part of the act which is fun to see and it is even better if you are one of the lucky participants selected to go up on stage. The show lasts for two hours and fifteen minutes with a short intermission to allow the audience to use the bathroom, buy food or drinks and visit the merch booth set up in the front. You'll be enjoying the show so much the time will seem to fly by.
The whole show was a high energy event from the music they played while performing to the performers themselves really getting the crowd into the acts with them. It isn't noted on the tours website, but I would put up a small warning for anyone prone to seizures, through out the show there are a lot of flashes of bright lights, light changes & on stage fire works that are a little intense with how bright they can get when you've been sitting in the dark.
It is one thing to see a magic act on TV, but it is another experience seeing it live & up close. These performers are well experienced and will leave you wondering just how they were able to pull off the tricks right in front of your eyes, they are quick, skilled and engaging. I'd love to go into more details about the tricks they did, but that would ruin the magic of seeing it live for yourself so I won't give away which acts they performed during this show. We had a lot of fun & would recommend this for anyone who enjoys magic or wants an exciting night out with the family.

This sounds like a great show. I think this is something my kids would enjoy seeing live.
This looks like so much fun! I've always been fascinated with magic and how magicians make the impossible possible.
Sounds like a fun show. I've never been to a magic or illusion show before, and it sounds very entertaining.
I love watching magic and always wonder how they do something, I bet this is a great show to see
This looks like something a bit different to what I'm used to - I wonder if Cardiff will be getting treated to a visit from them!
This looks like a lot of fun. And you're right one thing is watching a magic show on TV but up close it must be a great experience.
Oh wow, this sounds like such a fun show. I'd love to go see this with the kids. I'm sure the whole family would enjoy this. It would make for a great day out.
There is nothing like a good magic show. I love feeling awe-struck by the illusions in particular. Looks like this is going to be a good one!
Magic shows are best experienced when watched live. Curious about this show after reading your review.
OMG this show looks amazing! How fun is this?! I'd love to see a live magic show..looks so cool. Nice way to get into the spirit of Halloween too ^_^

I agree with you that the Orpheum Theatre is beautiful. We visited it in 2019.

Champions of Magic looks like such an interesting and exciting show, one perfect for the whole family
WOWW ,sounds like a funny show.
This is the kind of show I've been wanting to watch with my family. I bet it would be a very interesting experience to watch them live.
It would be so fun to see an illusionist show in person! I've never been to a show like this.
This looks like an amazing show! My husband loves magic shows, so I'll have to see if they are coming anywhere near us.
though i have watched many shows on TV never actually been to one (maybe did see one when I was a child but very faint memories).. this looks so cool.. will check out the tour schedule to see if they are coming anywhere near
I haven't seen a magic show in soo long. This looks like a good one.
