Champions Of Magic Tickets

We saw the Seattle show and we loved it. Lots of great magic and some of the illusions were amazing. Our favorite part was Young and Strange perfect name for a magic duo. Can't wait for them to come back so we can see them again.

Great show. There were enough what the heck moments to keep my attention. And it was a lot more fun then sitting home in front of the TV.

This was our first live magic show and it did not disappoint! Every performer was exemplary. Every magical display was indeed magical. I cannot wait to see them again! I highly recommend the show.

Great magic and presentation. Overall a fantastic performance from all.

This magic show was great and entertaining for all ages. I loved how the performers interacted with the audience so much and the various levels of tricks preformed. From escapes to illusions to slide of hand. It was very very fun.

I loved it. Me and my friend had a blast! Thanks for the Vettix!

Second time seeing them in Seattle and they came back with new magic and new illusions. Will be back next time.

In a time when artificial intelligence is dominating social media and the internet, it’s becoming harder than ever to tell what’s real and what’s not. Magic, in particular, has been impacted by this shift. Many performers on TV rely heavily on camera tricks, edited footage, and planted audience members to create illusions. While magicians like David Blaine still keep things authentic by performing in front of unsuspecting spectators, others — like Cris Angel and Justin Willman — often lean on heavy camera edits and accomplices, which can make their performances feel less genuine. That’s why live magic shows remain one of the most compelling ways to experience the art form. Nothing compares to seeing illusions unfold in real-time, right before your eyes. And Champions of Magic: Chasing the Unbelievable delivers exactly that — a fast-paced, family-friendly live show filled with awe, suspense, and entertainment for all ages. The current lineup features a talented group of performers from around the world: Young & Strange (Richard Young and Sam Strange, UK), Liberty Larsen (USA), and Fernando Velasco (Mexico/USA). Together, they present a well-balanced mix of close-up magic (projected on a big screen with the help of a mobile camera team) and large-scale stage illusions. Each performer takes turns throughout the show, allowing the audience to enjoy a range of magical styles and personalities. One of the most intense moments comes from Fernando Velasco’s big escape act, where he attempts to free himself before a set of sharp jaws collapse into him. With a visible countdown on screen, it builds real suspense—even if we know, deep down, that he’ll make it out safely. Some of his smaller tricks, like the needle and thread routine, felt a little underwhelming and he did have a minor slip-up. But he bounced back with a creative version of the classic “Assistant’s Revenge” illusion, using saran wrap and help from the other magicians to deliver something fun and unexpected. Liberty Larsen, a fourth-generation magician, adds a refreshing presence to the show. With deep roots in the magic community — her family helped found the Magic Castle, Genii Magazine, and the Academy of Magical Arts — she blends history with performance in a way that’s both personal and engaging. Her levitating cane routine was one of the show’s most graceful moments, and her interactions with the audience, especially kids, were genuine and heartwarming. But the real showstoppers are Young & Strange. Their combination of stage presence, comedic timing, and technical skill sets them apart. Their rapport is natural, and they keep the energy high whenever they’re on stage. One particularly funny moment involved Strange producing beams of light from an audience member — a clever bit that got big laughs. They wrap up the show with a Vegas-style grand finale, complete with a showgirl and large-scale illusions that feel straight off the Strip. Even if you’ve seen similar tricks before, their personality and delivery give them a fresh twist. Young & Strange are the best magic duo since Penn & Teller and Siegfried & Roy. While the show is a lot of fun overall, there are a few areas that could be improved. The camera work during the close-up segments was shaky at times, making it hard to focus on the finer sleight-of-hand. The sound design also needed some refinement — there was noticeable echo in the mics, and it was occasionally difficult to understand what the performers were saying. Some of the storytelling segments went on a bit too long and slowed down the momentum. As for the show’s claim of not using any actors or stooges and that volunteers are selected at random – it’s not entirely true. The first child volunteer seemed prepped ahead of time, likely for safety reasons. There are at least four other instances where the randomly chosen audience member is questionable. So much so, that for one of them, a woman behind me noticed something and mentioned it to her husband. Still, these didn’t take away from the experience or the magic being performed. There are also a few logistical notes worth mentioning. If you’re sitting near the front, be prepared for some strong smells during certain acts — gasoline and theatrical smoke are part of the show. And there are bright, flashing lights throughout, so guests with sensitivities should plan accordingly. Verdict: Champions of Magic: Chasing the Unbelievable is a laugh-out-loud, heart-pounding, jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring, must-see experience. The high-energy, visually impressive, and often hilarious live show delivers something for all ages. While it occasionally drags and could use some technical fine-tuning, the combination of strong performances, audience engagement, and grand illusions makes it a great night out. Whether you’re a longtime magic fan or just looking for something fun to do with the family, this show is well worth checking out.

The show was great! Loved it. But it was a poor sound system. I feel that it could be better, because I didn't catch most of what they said and I'm not that old and do not have hearing issues.

The show was amazing! It was funny, intriguing, had amazing stories, and was family friendly! I hope they come back to Seattle again soon!!

This was a great, high energy show, filled with amazing and mind- blowing illusions. I went with my 15 year old son and we had a blast. It might have been an opening night issue, but it was really hard to hear what the magicians were saying, so we missed much of their witty banter, particularly when it was accompanied by super loud music. The finale, in particular, was spectacular but deafening. Young kids might need earplugs or headphones. Overall, highly recommend!

Definitely geared more for the children. Really really corny...

Very amazing show with lots of tricks for all ages. Great show and would love more.

It was amazing, & my husband & our son had fun. It was our first time.

The show was fun but I think it was mostly addressed to kids. The last part (Vegas style) of the show, I thought was the highlight. The audio system was not good which is strange since I have watched many shows, concerts and musicals in Paramount and audio quality was not a problem.

I surprised my family with tickets. My two teenage boys were skeptical about going but ended up having a blast! It was amazing AND hilarious! We are still having conversations about how they pulled off the magic! Good for all ages!

The magic was great, the magicians individual stories added depth to the performances. But what was unexpected was the effort made to involve children from the audience into the act. Everyone around us was full of joy and having such a good time. The shows ability to raise the audience participation was over the top and made the evening wonderful.

As part of the audience in Eugene, Oregon we had the pleasure of seeing them on the last day of their tour. The show was excellent! This comes from all 6 adults ranging in ages 25-55 and 1 child age 4 3/4 lol. I’m very surprised at any negative reviews. Were there tricks you’ll see by other magicians? Yes, of course! Sawing a lady in half, disappearing acts, escape from a giant snapping device with ropes on fire (cool!)? YES PLEASE! They had it all and then some, including ones we haven’t seen, but not one did we figure out and we sat up close. All of us spent the remainder of the night trying to figure out their tricks, but we didn’t and that’s what makes it fun. By the way, some reviews don’t like their talking throughout the show. We loved the banter, the sharing of how they found magic when they were young and how they turned it into an act. It wasn’t too much, it was funny, entertaining and even inspiring. Who will hate the show? I think if you’re old and crotchety and that person yelling at kids “Get off my lawn!!” then you’re probably not going to like it. You lost your sense of fun and adventure a long time ago, leave the show to the ones that still see magic even when they’re not looking for it. Got kids? Worried they’ll get bored? They won’t! If you have kids you’ll definitely love watching their faces as they watch each act in awe. Also, they do really incorporate them into their acts, so fun! Our grandson even got to be on stage (which he wanted to do so much), but as excited as he was he still was struck with a little stage fright. Thankfully the very perceptive Mr. Strange noticed this and was so kind and helped him get back to us, all without any embarrassment to him. He also met with him during intermission and they took pictures with him. What a wonderful surprise and wonderful group of people to have done that for him. So, to sum it up, is this show for you? It definitely is if you love to laugh, want to drop your jaw in awe, love great music, like fire, and think getting blasted with lots of confetti is fun!

Avoid at any cost!!! Very disappointing, hotel kids club magic show

Over the years I have seen every magic show that comes through Seattle, going right back to David Copperfield. This show is very different to any I had seen before. It was funny. It was spectacular with fire and pyrotechnics and confetti. It was entirely unique. The audience response by the finale was like a rock concert - I've never heard an audience roar like that at a magic show before. See it or miss out. I'll be back and may even drive to see them tomorrow night in Oregon.
