Absolute gem
What a gem !
Had a brilliant afternoon/evening at the Secrets of the magic circle with our son, and must say, it was a highlight of our year.
The whole experience is really relaxed and intimate, and the magic being performed is mind-blowing. You get really up close with the magicians, and leave with no clue how any of it is done.
The experience starts in the bar area (where you can, of course, buy some drinks & snacks), and two or three magicians are going round the tables doing tricks. You can check out the magicians museum in the lower-ground floor with artifacts from many famous magicians. You get three shows, effectively within a 3.5 hour visit (acts will vary - ours were outstanding), the last of which is in the theatre.
Great show, great talent, great value [accessibility also very good]
Treat yourself - you won't regret it

Breathtakingly good magic in all its forms from friendly, talented people
A mesmerisingly brilliant visit to the most magical organisation in Britain, tucked away in an anonymous sidestreet behind Euston Station. A wonderful museum of artifacts featuring everyone from Houdini to David Nixon to Tommy Cooper to Penn and Teller as well as props from films involving magic (Harry Potter included, of course!) This was followed by no less than three shows: one of close-up magic, one by the hilariously eccentric curator and then one up on the stage upstairs with the breathtaking Tech Magician and his two robots. All in all, and unforgettable day out.

A fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable visit
We had a brilliant time visiting The Magic Circle. Ian, our tour guide, was fun, engaging and incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the history of the organisation and its many fascinating exhibits to life.
The magic show performed for us at the end was a wonderful way to round off the experience. It was entertaining, skilfully performed and enjoyed by everyone in our group. A memorable and genuinely magical visit that I would highly recommend.
Thanks from the ProdPad team!

World class magic in an intimate setting
We saw two world class magic performances in an intimate setting. The magicians involved the audience, paying particular attention to the children. It truly was a mind boggling experience and something we'll still be talking about when we get home.
This is a great break from sightseeing and probably the one experience children 8 and over will remember.
The venue is the private clubhouse of the Magic Circle, a organization that has existed for 120 years. We were given a warm welcome, visited their museum and treated to a very entertaining " pre show".
Highly recommend!

Magic fun tour of the Magic circle
I booked a tour for birthday treat for my mum.
I was interested in what the tour of the actual magic circle club would be like , I was delighted what we experienced. We were greated at the door by the delightful host Ian who couldn't have been more welcoming for all the guests along as were the other members of the Magic staff and members who helped deliver this tour.
We were put at ease with humour and professionalism as we toured all of the club , from the standing on the stage at top of the building to the club rooms with all it's fascinating magical items linked to famous magical persons to the historical items in museum.
We were treated to some world class close up magic tricks at the end which was a fabulous treat.
The passion for magic that Ian and all the people there had was plain to see and added huge value to a great tour.
There are close magic shows on Friday nights at the Magic club which sadly I wasn't aware before this tour but will absolutely going to .
Book it and be amazed
