Frequently Asked Questions

The Illusionist at the Palace Theater is an intimate and interactive magic show with jaw-dropping visual illusions, impossible coincidences, and unbelievable feats of mind reading and mentalism. It is a modern magic show for an intellectual, skeptical adult audience starring world class illusionist Kevin Blake.

Kevin Blake has been seen on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, The CW’s Penn & Teller: Fool Us!, toured with Band of Magicians in New Zealand and Australia, and rejected every Hogwarts acceptance letter he ever received. He can read your pulse and tell if you’re lying, see into your imagination, and maybe even predict the future. His unique, interactive illusions, comedic presentations, and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sleight of hand have made him recognized as one of the best magicians in the world.

The Palace Theater is a beautiful cabaret theater inside of a secret speakeasy designed in the aesthetic of the 1920’s. Once home to the immersive production The Speakeasy, it is complete with an illicit bar, crooked casino and Vaudeville cabaret. It is located at a secret location in North Beach inside Joe’s Clock Shop. The closest cross streets are Broadway and Columbus.

The performance is approximately 90 minutes long with one brief intermission to refill drinks.

The magical cocktail flight is a pre-purchased cocktail pairing with the show designed by several-time world champion master cocktalier Carlo Splendorini. The flight includes 2 magical cocktails that arrive spaced out throughout the show, as well as sparkling grapes to start and a scoop of low-proof alcoholic ice cream to finish. For more information about the cocktail pairing, please go here.

The show is written for an adult audience. But if you sneak in a child, we won’t tell.

All sales are final but you may transfer your tickets to others. Check in under the name of the purchaser.
