Scott Pepper performed a virtual show for my virtual bachelorette party, and he was amazing! It was so much fun, and I loved the personalized touches that he added! For example, I love butterflies, and he incorporated butterflies into his performance, as well as a photo of myself with my fiancé! He was extremely professional and didnt have any technical difficulties whatsoever. I highly recommend Scott!

I really enjoyed the show, it was funny and cool. They offer free popcorn during the whole show and coke, water or lemonade. You can have as many as you like and you can even take some to go! Before the show starts as we are lined up outside one of the assistants is doing magic tricks with cards, them when you go in you get a card for your seat to place it while you grab your popcorn and drink and during that time you get to enjoy some more close up card tricks. Then the show starts, it was a fun show there was some jokes and some fun stuff the best is at the end but it just felt more for kids. I did have much fun but I wanted something more like the last two tricks, also the blades are obviously cardboard and it just made it more childish. Would still recommend just keep in mind its mostly a kid show and I was looking for something more adult like if that makes sense.

Fantastic show. The preshow magic was great. All the staff was extremely friendly. The main show was amazing. Great mix of comedy, tricks and illusions. Highly recommend stopping in for a show. Fun for the whole family and not a bad seat in the house.

This show exceeded our expectations! It’s extremely kid friendly and fun for the entire family. Seats are first come first serve. So if you want first or second row, arrive the hour before the show, there is entertainment while you wait. We were about 5 rows back and my 6yo had to sit on his knees to see some of the show. They were very interactive with the audience which was fun! Plenty of small magic tricks as well as the large “scary” ones! Definitely a must do activity for San Antonio!!

Loved the show! We took 2 teens with us and they also enjoyed it. This is a fun thing to do if youre from the area and looking for something different or great for visitors in town since its on the Riverwalk. I recommend going early to get best seats and enjoy the free popcorn and soda.

What an awesome show!!! Scott Pepper was amazing!!!! He really interacted with the crowd. I was able to be part of the show and I started off a little nervous but he guides you and makes you feel comfortable in front of the crowd on stage. So from our family to whom ever reading this we absolutely loved it... Definitely worth going. It’s a must see if your planning on coming to San Antonio!!!!!!

We arrived at 6 to see the opening act and it was fantastic. The show itself was awesome, too. All seats are good, the building is historical with many extra historical magic accessories, and the performers are engaging and friendly. My daughter got a playing card signed after the show. Great experience. Would definitely recommend.

I took my girlfriend to this show a couple months back in January and we are still talking about it. It was the best live entertainment weve seen in San Antonio and most any where else. They really put a lot into providing a fun and interactive experience. The pre-show with Doug was really great and fun to watch while we stuffed our faces with free popcorn and drinks. My girlfriend and I both got to be part of the show which we will never forget. I recommend getting the VIP tickets. The magic lesson Scott gives after the show was icing on the cake. I have performed the tricks I learned and impressed lots of folks. Scott goes out of his way to provide an incredible performance. He is the real deal. I will be going back to take my son to see this show soon. Take a date, take your kids, go check it out...you wont be disappointed!

Great show! Highly recommend!This magician and his crew have very positive personalities making the experience full of fun and laughter. I highly recommend this show to anyone whether you are a tourist to San Antonio or a local. You will be pleasantly surprised! They pull guests from the audience as well making it even more fun.

This show exceeded our expectations. Scott Pepper, the magician, has excellent skills and marvelous showmanship. We had so much laughs and fun during the show. I highly recommend the aftershow magic workshop, where Scott teaches you magic tricks personally and let you practice in front of the group. I didn’t think that we’d have that much fun, but again we did!

I did a VIP package to the Saturday show with my wife and 2 kids (4-7 years old). And it was fantastic entertainment. Both my kids and wife were in absolute amazement with the tricks and show. Well worth the money spent and highly recommend this if you enjoy magic.

Went on a spur of the moment when I found flyer walking to the Alamo. LOVED️ every part of the show. From the street magician on the corner, to Doug with up close magic before the show and then Scott Pepper was amazing. Funny, family friendly, crowd involvement from kids to adults Historic building is gorgeous. I highly recommend it. Price was appropriate and now I wished I’d upgraded to get the magic clinic after the show.

My husband and I stopped in for Scott Pepper’s show while on vacation in San Antonio. I had read Scott put on a great show and was not disappointed. I love slight of hand and he was truly amazing. I highly recommend this show, it is early enough to allow you to take a carriage ride, grab a late dinner, or take a walk on the riverwalk following the show.

Was the first magic show I’ve ever seen and it was fantastic! My husband and I were in town from Houston and thought we’d see something different from the normal touristy stuff. Scott and the whole crew were great. We will definitely be back again on our next trip! Thanks for a great experience!

We had tickets for his shower over summer vacation. The week we were scheduled to go, my mothers brother had passed away and we were unable to attend. They were so gracious to give us a full refund. After the funeral we decided we still needed to get away as a family. We attended the show the following week. It was awesome! It was very emotional to look over and see my mother laughing and having fun. Thank you Magicians Agency for bringing joy to us and especially to my mother during this hard time.

Simply amazing! Scott was awesome & personally went around to people to greet,talk & thank them for coming out! Very humble person & it was an honor meeting him & hearing his experience & journey! He’ll even remember your name & refer to you by name throughout the show. I was very impressed by that. Sharing & hearing his come up story was very inspiring! I had an amazing time! Thank you again

What an awesome experience!! Appropriate for all ages and engaging for all of our kids (ages 7-17). Our only regret is not showing up earlier bc we missed some of the pre-show entertainment. The staff was super friendly and helpful and my kids loved the all you can eat popcorn and drinks. Great job and congrats to the team on your success! We will definitely be sending referrals your way.

This was the first time my husband and I have ever been to a live magic show. Between Dougs pre-show close-up magic and Scott Peppers main act, we had an awesome time! And it didnt hurt that popcorn and soda were included in the price of the ticket either. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for something to do in San Antonio!

Its a brand new magic show that appears to have just opened in the last year or so.Regardless of how new this business is, they really have their act together. Its located in the historic Reuter building in Alamo Plaza. There are 4 or 5 kitschy, touristy things to do around here, but out of all of them, this one is the best value (and I dont mean to imply that this one is kitschy - its far from it).They have top notch performers. The event begins by being greeted by Scott Pepper himself after you exit the elevator. Before the show begins, you are treated to free popcorn, soda, and water. Next up, a closeup magician entertains the crowd before the show starts, and then the street magician comes in and performs for a bit (apparently, he is setup on the street beforehand doing tricks, but I missed him outside).After a few minutes of these performers, the amazing Scott Pepper appears and performs an awesome magic show that holds the attention of the young ones, as well as the adults. Its absolutely top class, and all of the performers are amazing.Definitely worth the cost of admission and very family friendly.

Our friends went to this place with their kids and they enjoyed it. So when we were visiting, we decided to visit as well. We were skeptical initially and did not think the kids would enjoy it. But not only did they enjoy it, they wanted to come back the next time we were here. Scott is a true entertainer and how we spent 3 hrs here, we have no idea. He engaged the crowd, kids and adults and the acts were different from what we have seen before. Sure, there were some that we had seen before, but seeing them in person, close-up was a different experience. We also did the teaching class after the show where he shows you how to do some of the tricks as well. Its quite interesting. My older daughter was just enthralled. Definitely sign up for this option. Would come back again..

Once in a lifetime experience! Staff was very friendly. One of the street performers is what initially drew us in to buy tickets and I’m so glad we did! Our kids had a blast and the show was great at including the audience! We have been to San Antonio many times and never seen this show but it was truly an awesome experience, and I would recommend it to everyone!!

Excellent Time, Wonderful ShowMy fiancé bought the tickets for us. In the beginning I was a little hesitant because we are two grown adults and a seventeen year old girl, but when the show started we just couldn’t keep our eyes off of the stage. My daughter was having a rough day, during the show I glanced at her hoping she was having a good time; every time I looked at her, her smile kept getting bigger and bigger. We really loved it! Scott’s accent is to die for, he is super funny and talented. I can’t remember the name of the gentleman that opened for SP but he was AMAZING too! And the beautiful dancer, such a graceful lady! The whole show was just awesome. I actually wish I could have taken a photo to upload here but I really, really didn’t want to miss anything, so my phone stayed untouched during the whole show.I definitely recommend this show! 5 stars!

Just had an amazing evening filled with laughter and awe. Scott had the audience in stitches while leaving us guessing how he did his magic. DEFINITELY do the after show workshop. You will not be disappointed. We learned magic secrets and we were able to practice. It was a blast and a totally unique experience.

Review №47

I was skeptical..everything else up to this point has been a disappointment. Escapre room, riverwalk, restaurants..all rated above 4 and were terrible when compared to what we are used to. This was the last thing planned for our trip, and at first it seemed like just another one of the shoddy tourist-y venues like the wax museum, terror ride, etc. that are on Alamo st. ..but from the time we lined up on the side street entrance, until we left 3 hours later, I felt myself smiling and saw my 13 year olds expresion of amazement (which I havent seen for years!) Thanks for making her eyes light up!! Totally worth the cost- enjoyed the show. Insane engagement and personal interaction- Appeals to the younger crowd. Still fun for adults, but he is great with kid participation, makes their eyes light up. As an educator, I appreciate the gift of inspiration!

In town for the weekend and my 11 year old was not enjoying the trip. We took him here last minute and he was even brought up for and act on stage. This made the trip worth it for him and my wife and I had a great time as well. Honorable mention: our six month old slept through most of the show and when she Was awake she didn’t make a peep, just stared in amazement.

I took my elderly parents to see this show tonight, and it was awesome!! We parked at the zoo, and caught an Uber so we could be dropped off at the front door (Green awning on Crockett Street). This is a good idea for anyone since parking in the area is tricky/expensive. From the moment you get to the door, to the last trick of the evening, you will feel like you’re doing something special. The space itself is magical, and the show is full of clean comedy, great illusions, and audience interaction. Treat your family to this show - even if you’re local!

Prepare to be amazed! Scott Pepper and team really put on a fun show. I enjoyed how the show actually begins on the corner with a magician performing a card trick, just to warm you up as you make your way to the theater.Inside, the close up magic is truly captivating. Ted Barlock was very impressive! We were all watching very closely but we could not figure out how he did his tricks. It could only be one thing: he is truly magic!If you stay for the workshop, you not only learn some magic tricks, but you also get treated to extra magic performances thrown in just because Scott has fun with it.With the pre-show magic, the show, and the workshop, the night was three hours of mesmerizing prestidigitation. Spectacular.
