Review of Mickey's Magic Show

Mickey's Magic Show is by far Disney's most unique family program, with the "magic" setting it apart from the ice shows and general stage performances. I am a huge fan of magic, and the illusions performed by the actors, actresses, and characters are packed with ample "wow factor", humor, and wit, to tickle everyone from toddlers to grandparents.

The cast consisted of those familiar to me when I grew up: Snow White, Cinderella, Jasmine, and Belle, to name a few. A couple times throughout the show, the hosts searched for kid volunteers. Each child's innocence and honesty added that much more personality. You will see the "traditional" illusions, such as the impossibly fast switcheroo, and the human being sawed in half, but with Disney's own twist. Don't even try to dissect the magic - just say, "How'd they do that?!", before the entire show blazes right past you! Along with the grandiose tricks, there are also the one-person acts of "silly" magic and side-splitting comic relief.

Overall, this is a well-rounded program that will have you reminiscing about the classics from decades ago, bursting your buttons with humor for all ages, and of course, "oooooh-ing" and "ahhhhh-ing" to all the illusions. So throw those cell phones away (or just turn them off), leave everything behind, sit back and relax and let Mickey's Magic Show rock your socks off!
