Do You Believe in Magic?

Now more than ever, we could all use a little magic in our lives.


 Four-Handed Illusions delivers! The show is an experience held at the historic Hampshire House in Beacon Hill. The mandatory dress code gives an air of sophistication harkening back to the days when the theatre was an event to see and be seen.

Once you find your seat in the historic library, cocktails await (hence the 21+ requirement). There is ample time to mingle and enjoy the ambiance before the show begins.

If you don’t think magic shows are for you, think again. Joel Acevedo and Steve Kradolfer are the very definition of a dynamic duo. They present both solo and combined acts, showing off decades of mastery. And masters they are, gasps fill the room as the audience ponders, “how is that possible?”

No spoilers – but even the most logical among us will be able to suspend their disbelief and look on in wonder.

What really makes this show special is Joel and Steve’s passion for their craft. Their joy is infectious, and the laughter is contagious. Audience participation adds to the fun and makes the space even more intimate. While I’m sure these magicians have done these illusions hundreds of times, it feels like the show was made just for you.

These tickets will make for the gift – it’s an experience unlike any other in Boston. This is the ticket that “dinner and a show” was made for, with no lack of spectacular restaurants in the area.

Tickets are highly in-demand, and rightly so. New dates are announced a month and a half in advance, so sign up for their newsletter to secure your spot. I promise you will leave the show amazed.
